I was catching up on Substacks when After School author Casey Lewis flagged a sneaker trend that shook me to my core. From Lana Del Rey to fashion influencers like Jess Graves and Becky Malinksy, insiders seem to agree retro Keds sneakers are back. On July 21, a week after Lewis's report dropped, I saw the proof with my own eyes.
Today, Natalie Portman endorsed the Keds revival on the set of her forthcoming rom-com, Good Sex. Portman is a sneakerhead for the chunkiest of chunky trainers from Dior and Hoka offscreen. On the film's New York City set, however, the Black Swan actor gave classic white Keds a go.
