ABOUT PASTRY

A taste for fashion seems to run in the family for the driving forces behind the delicious line of Pastry shoes. Vanessa and Angela Simmons of MTV's “Run House” are the faces of the brand as well as collaborators on the designs, and so far their success shows no signs of stopping.

Pastry shoes are a division of Run Athletics, which launched in 2003 by the girls' father Joseph Simmons and his brother, hip hop mogul Russell Simmons. Russell's ex-wife Kimora Lee is also in the industry, famous for her Baby Phat line. So it's no surprise that Vanessa and Angela have drawn plenty of attention for their cute, creative line of Pastry shoes.

Targeted at juniors and young adults, the Pastry shoes collection is all about casual yet confident style. The original Cake Runner and Fab Cookie collections come in a variety of "flavors" to tempt your sweet tooth, in athletic-styled sneakers, hi-tops and boots. Next on the list are a range of mid-calf boots called the Marshmallow collection, no doubt named for those plushy faux-fur collars.

So when you've got a craving but don't want the calories, try out a pair of tasty Pastry shoes. With their vibrant colors, creative attitude and fresh, hot style, these kicks have shot to the top of the market and aren't likely to cool off anytime soon.
