Kicks and Chicks sneaker culture project was created to prove females can be just as sexy in sneakers and street wear as they are in any other fashions. Started by a random photo of a model chick with nike kicks taken by the Creative Director, the project has become a leader in Nike sneaker news since. Running into its 3rd year anniversary, the success continues with a new buzz and signing of the Internet’s Halle Berry, Shantell Reisinger.

“We don’t want to compare Shantell Reisinger to Halle Berry but she can acquire just as much success in the entertainment field if she stays focused and uses her accent to her advantage. To be a great model it takes the mind, the right diet, attitude, and dream. If people use the numbers we have, they will realize her ability has no cap” says the Creative Director of the KicksAndChicks.com project, Rodrick Rainey.

Shantell Reisinger, a talent which gets frequent comparison to Halle Berry, is gaining fast attention on the sneaker culture entertainment site. A South Carolina discovery that’s had struggles while breaking into success, has become the most popular model on the KicksAndChicks.com site and expanded her network since traveling to Las Vegas for a fashion trade show.

“I think our facial structure is similar mainly. I love people thinking I look like such an amazingly beautiful woman and pray everyone sees the same potential they saw in her. That would be a blessing,” says Shantell when asked what she thinks of the bold comparison.

Receiving 100 Myspace photo comments on her first photo release to profile friends, Shantell’s potential was realized very quickly. Celebrity musicians and budding actors struggle to match such numbers with 3 times the friends KicksAndChicks.com’s Myspace profile has (over 17,000 friends).
With the incredible response, the Kicks and Chicks agency swiftly produced a sneaker poster featuring Shantell with Air Jordan Retro VII 7 Hare Edition sneakers on. Pre-orders were placed as soon as the print work went up for sale.

“We need to build relations. We need the sneaker companies like Reebok, Supra, Nike and adidas to work with us directly. Shantell, Taylor Hope, and Judy Styles do numbers that do not lie. As Jay-Z said, men lie, women lie, but the numbers do not. We need their support as we are excited in working with their brands without corporate ties. It’s time for companies to work closer with us,” says the calmly-spoken Kicks and Chicks Creative Director.
