Keds is revamping its comfort-focused shoe offerings with the Rillax Champion collection, a lineup of casual shoes created for effortless comfort and easygoing versatility.

Intended for daily life, the Rillax Collection — including the Rillax Champion and Rillax Champion Mini — features soft textures, lightweight construction and flexible comfort. With cushioned footbeds and easy slip-on silhouettes, each style is made for all-day wear. Whether running errands or spending time with friends, the cushioned footbeds and slip-on design allow each style to be worn throughout the day. Offered in Washed Twill, Chalky Canvas and Chambray, both styles are washable as well — this would involve removing the footbeds, washing on a gentle cycle and allowing them to air dry.

The Rillax Champion, retailing for $59.95 to 69.95, showcases a soft texture with a sun-washed aura, a slip-on design with hidden gore panels, a cushioned footbed and lightweight outsole. The Rillax Champion Mini, $59.95 to $64.95, is a more refined interpretation of casual style, featuring subtle texture and clean lines.

This drop follows Keds unveiling its new low-profile retro runner style known as The Revival to headline its spring 2026 collection earlier this year.

Keds, currently a part of Designer Brands’ portfolio of owned and licensed brands since a 2023 acquisition from Wolverine Worldwide, has been around for more than 100 years. The brand is strongly associated with its famous Champion sneaker, a low-profile, minimalist canvas shoe which was created in 1916. An iconic name in fashion, Keds shoes have been featured as part of many films through the years, from Audrey Hepburn wearing them in “Now and Then” to Jennifer Grey wearing them in “Dirty Dancing.” Keds were also part of 1970s festival footwear style.
