Kate Spade & Keds, More Milly & Sperry, Hello Kitty!

Hello-Hello, and happy Thursday.

Today we are looking at shoes, springtime fare of the collaborative sort. The first partnership effort is one we love, Keds and Kate Spade have created a small line of sneakers.

There are four styles in the collection, the Pointer runs $85 (eep!) and the Champion is $75, these are not available until March.

Those are Monopoly game tokens. The Iron is going away, to be replaced with the Cat.  Hasbro asked fans to vote on Facebook, deciding which token would be “retired”.
