Have you ever wondered
what it would be like to walk in the shoes of some of the
world's most glamorous celebrities? If so, Reebok and rap icon
Jay-Z would like to provide you with the opportunity to do so!
Beginning July 19th at noon and running through 10:00 p.m. on
July 28th, fans can log on to
http://www.rbk.com/ and bid online for shoes designed by
today's most compelling actresses, musicians and supermodels,
including Beyonce, Tyra Banks, Joy Bryant, Fergie of the Black
Eyed Peas and Queen Latifah. As part Jay-Z's community outreach
efforts, five of the hottest women around have personally
designed their own S. Carter women's tennis shoe which will be
auctioned off with all the proceeds being donated to the Shawn
Carter Scholarship Fund. The bidding for all shoes will start at
$100.
Each fashion-forward shoe in the "S. Carter Women in
Entertainment" program conveys the celebrities' individual sense
of style and character as well as their autograph. So whether
you have an appreciation for the arts or if you just want to
make the ideal purchase for an enduring fashion statement, the
celebrity designed S. Carter tennis shoe delivers something rare
and alluring -- making it the ideal collectors item.
In addition to receiving the shoe, the winning bidder will take
home the celebrity's sketch of the designed shoe accompanied
with an authentic autograph. While only five winning bidders
will ultimately own a celebrity- designed S. Carter tennis shoe,
sneaker enthusiasts everywhere can find the original S. Carter
tennis shoe in stores across the country. Taking its lead from
old-school classic tennis shoes, the S. Carter Tennis features a
retro look with clean lines and signature detailing. Currently
in stores for a suggest retail price of $80 in white/royal/red
colorway for men and white/winery/navy colorway for women, the
S. Carter Tennis shoe offers subtle accents of color at the sole
and perfed detailing throughout the upper of the shoe.
Close to Jay-Z's heart, the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund was
created in 2003, and is spearheaded by Jay-Z's mother Gloria
Carter to assist those generally not serviced by traditional
scholarship means. The Fund provides disadvantaged youth,
non-traditional High School graduates, GED recipients, and those
who have been formerly incarcerated, an opportunity to fulfill
their desire to attend college. For more information on the
Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund, call (212) 603-7803 or write to:
