Angela and Vanessa Simmons’ Pastry division of Run Athletics will launch a new line of products benefiting the Girls Scouts of the USA, the company announced today (Jul 16).

 

The Pastry Thin Mint Collection, consisting of women’s and kids shoes and a backpack, hits specialty retail stores across the country today, including Finish Line, Underground Station and Lady Foot Locker.

 

A take on Pastry’s “Fab Cookie” sneaker, the Thin Mint Shoe will be available in chocolate and white, and incorporates the Girl Scout philosophy, scripted on the shoe’s outsole.

 

The women’s shoe will retail around $70 with the kid’s version available for $45 and the coordinating backpack going for around $65.

 

"Our relationship with the Girl Scouts is deeply meaningful to us," explained Vanessa Simmons. "To have the opportunity to further support their efforts of empowering young women with the creation of the Thin Mint Collection is very special."

 

A portion of all proceeds from sales of the Thin Mint Collection will go directly to the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., the premier leadership organization serving 3.6 million girls and adult members across the country.

 

The Thin Mint Collection continues the relationship established between the Simmons sisters and the Girls Scouts Organization in 2007.

 

Vanessa and Angela joined the organization as spokespersons for the “Make Girls Scouts Your Business” initiative, which encourages girls to participate in the various Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy programs.

 

Their efforts have included a series of speaking engagements sharing their experiences as young businesswomen, as well as supporting the girls in their various leadership initiatives.

 

“We have had so much fun working with the girls,” added Angela. “I feel they do more for us than we could ever do for them! We are hoping our relationship with the Girl Scouts organization continues to grow and develop.”

 

The entire Simmons clan, including adopted daughter Miley, makes it’s return to MTV tonight, kicking off the 5th season of the award winning reality series Run’s House.

 

The season premier of Run’s House, the 2008 NAACP Image Award winner for Outstanding Reality Series, airs on MTV tonight at 10pm ET/PT.

@T-Roc

maybe you should care.  Two YOUNG Black women doing successful things.  they doing their stuff the 'right way'.  obviously, i'm not gonna go buy their sneakers, but i definitely applaud what they are doing and am also motivated by them as well.  can't be mad at them at all.

they're not in the tabloids for stupid shit...there's no sex tape of them...they aren't using their bodies to gain success.

they're gonna build an empire right before our eyes at the pace they are on now...

That's definitely a good look and great marketing strategy the shoes are affordable and it helps a good organization. Scouting is color blind...(well at least on the top of the organization I know I was in a racist troop when I was in the boy scouts.) and it helps keep kids off the streets. Hopefully the girl scouts will recommend it as part of the uniform or at least allow it, and all the little girls will beg they mammas to get it. The girls that aren't in scouting will want to get into it, hence more membership for the girls scouts which is a non profit. If Jay-z did this do you know how many kids would be boy scouts? They would have to make Emceeing DJing Breaking and Graph Merit badges
