Keds Releases Betty x Veronica Comic Strip Shoe Collection

Who doesn’t love Keds shoes and who hasn’t hear about the dynamic duo Betty and Veronica from the famous 1940s hit comics “Archie?” Now fusing the two together – a comic strip in a shoe – anyone with the new Betty & Veronica Keds collection will totally slay in casual fashion.

The timeless sneakers company Keds has partnered with Archie Comics to release a line of Betty and Veronica sneakers, featuring prints of the original iconic duo. Whether you recognize them from The CW’s hit TV drama or from the frames of the original Archie comics, Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge are undeniably one of the most stylish female-led teams — making them the perfect match for collaboration with Keds.

The new Keds collection features five pairs of sneakers, available in pastel shades of pink and blue, as well as classic white, of course. From lace-ups to slip-ons, the classic Keds silhouettes are all embroidered with Betty and Veronica’s faces, plus some adorable comic strip add-ons, like ice cream sundaes. Looking at the new Keds shoes, here are the 5 new releases:

  1. Keds x Betty and Veronica Kickstart Comic Print

Colorful and playful – this is what the Kickstart Comic Print is. It’s a cool tennis shoe to add to your Keds collection. And with a comic strip from our fave Archie series printed on the upper, you’ll be nothing but extra trendy in the eyes of your friends.

Be a total chic in this shoe and Pair it with a cute denim skirt or jeans for your daily casual OOTD.

  1. Keds x Betty and Veronica Anchor Comic

The Keds x Betty and Veronica Anchor Comic is the perfect shoe for the lady who loves jeans and shorts and who’s always on the go. The black and white print gives an on-school vibe while the pink outlines still give a hint of feminineness.

  1. Keds x Betty and Veronica Champion Leopard

I’d give this to a sister or a girlfriend who loves prints in their outfit. Going with the classic printed top, plain bottoms, and printed shoes is the key to looking great in this Champion Leopard pair.

  1. Keds x Betty and Veronica Triple Kick Leopard

And like the leopard print, this high platform sneaker would be fine for the teens. Feeling short on height or you want to at least look taller than the usual? Wear this with tight fitting jeans or leggings or long pleated skirts too and you’ll look 100 percent fabulous/

  1. Keds x Betty and Veronica Anchor Slip On Comic

Again with a comic strip that features Archie’s 2 best girl friends, this Anchor Slip on Comic is such a classic. Great for those who are always on the run with its easy to wear slip on feature. Perfect for those who love to mix and match their clothes. Wear them with your dress, wear them with your rugged attire, wear them with your rompers too!

The Keds x Betty and Veronica collection is currently available on keds.com, so I highly recommend you scoop up your favorite pair (or two) before the line sells out. I love Keds so much because it’s comfortable to the feet. But I was more impressed with its creativity through this new line.

I think I’ll go with the more conservatively designed pair in this collection – the Anchor Slip On Comic. And the collection was launched just in time for the holidays! So gear up with your shopping bags and grab something for you mom, aunts, sisters, and girl friends too.

Keds x Betty and Veronica collection is already available too in our local malls like Glorietta 3, U.P. Town Center, SM North Edsa – The Block, SM Megamall, Robinsons Magnolia, Robinsons Manila, Festival Alabang, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, Evia Lifestyle Center, SM City Baguio, Robinsons Place Ilocos Norte, Ayala Center Cebu, SM City Bacolod, SM City Iloilo, Abreeza Mall Davao, and Centrio Cagayan De Oro.

Enchanted Kingdom Celebrates 24th Anniversary With a Big Bang

The ber months are already here and with people getting their 13th month pay and bonuses, a lot of families are once again planning for a great holiday getaway. And since we are once again fantasizing the magic of Christmas, why not experience real magic in Philippines’ largest amusement park – Enchanted Kingdom!

Coming back to Enchanted Kingdom after 2 decades was fantastic. Being able to saw its early years, I’m so amazed to witness the development it has gone through. From only a few rides to now a full swing of amusement, entertainment, and technology, owners Mario and Cynthia Mamon are indeed very successful at bringing world-class park in the Philippines.

For EK, October doesn’t only mean 2 months closer to the festive season. Before it gears up for the Halloween, Christmas, and New Year celebrations, it prepares the whole park for a huge parade of its enchanted characters as it nears its anniversary.

Now on its 24th year, Enchanted Kingdom will host a big party for all its guests on October 19, 2019 that will start early at 11am and ends at 12 midnight. This year will be extra special with more groups participating in the fun and excitement at EK’s anniversary.

Apart from its in-house performing group called Kingsmen,  Ben&Ben will be coming to offer a special round of serenade, featuring their hit songs including “Pagtingin” which is currently #2 on the Spotify charts. Big social media influencers will be coming too to entertain park goers with their little stunts.

Arts wouldn’t be ignored as EK will host a live mural featuring three of the best local creative talents including June Digan and Anina Rubio. They will be joined by Jareth Correa, kid artist, and Ekids Talent search semi-finalist. Kids among the park visitors are also welcome to join them in the art activities.

Several big brands will be putting up their booths inside the park to treat visitors to special merchandize prizes. Some of them include Traveloka, Krispy Kreme, GoPro, and Nikon. Other sponsors who contributed to make the celebration the biggest so far are SKECHERS, TONY & JACKEY, CHERIFER, BIOESSENCE, EUROTEL, PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER, SUMMIT MEDIA, KUMU, ANYA HOTEL, BAY LEAF, DAVID’S SALON, HAWK BAG, LA VISTA PANSOL, MACRO PHARMA, MICROTEL, MX3, SUN CRUISES, XTREME MAGIC SING, SHARP, and LAGUNDEX.

Regular shows along the streets of the park will still go down like Eldar’s Enchanting Symphony and Princess Maphista’s Moonstone Parade. Kids will surely love the fireworks display too that will go down after 7pm. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be as big as the previous years when Enchanted Kingdom used to sponsor a pyro technique contest.

Enchanted Kingdom serves as the first and the biggest world-class amusement park in the Philippines. Opened in 1995 at a 10-hectare property, EK has grown enormous, now covering a vast 25-hectare land. And from simple, few rides, The park now has over 50 attractions with the Agila as its newest offering.

Agila is a flight motion simulation attraction and EK is the first one to put this technology in PH amusement park. Other park goer favorites are the Space Shuttle, Rio Grade Rapids, Jungle Log Jam and the EKstreme Tower which drops riders at 76kph from a 40-meter rise.

It’s always a fun time coming to Enchanted Kingdom. People from all ages should take this chance to see real magic at the amusement park. Enchanted Kingdom is located in RSBS Boulevard, San Lorenzo South Village, Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. For more information visit also the EK website: www.enchantedkingdom.ph
