Ah ha! AH....HA! Keds for men live!

At the Keds website I found:
"After a 17 year hiatus, PRO-Keds are back for the new generation. Characterized by a blend of classic design, contemporary colors and modern touches, the new styles will interest even the most discriminating trendsetter. Visit www.prokeds.com for more information."

So I stand corrected (and quite content), and I see that there is hope, even at the end of the darkest tunnel.
