Tracy Reese and Keds have partnered for a fashionable limited-edition collection of sporty sneakers, ballet flats, and wedges.  The plenty by Tracy Reese for Keds line will be available at keds.com  and in select department stores on April 1.  
Take a sneak peak at the vibrant and colorful shoes made with fabrics, prints, and embellishments inspired by the designer’s exotic travels.  They range from size 6 to 10.  
I’d love a pair of the cute blue fringe sneakers.   Since my name is Tracy too, do you think Ms. Reese would give me a discount?   Just kidding (but not really).
