Zendaya’s Upcoming Line Promises Cute Shoes On A College Budget

To say Zendaya has a packed schedule would be an offensive understatement. The recent high school graduate just got back from a week-long trip to South Africa with UNAIDS, but instead of sleeping away the jet lag, she went straight to work. In between recording her upcoming album with Timbaland and finalizing her shoe line, she made a stop in New York to be part of the unveiling of Adidas’ new collection Adigirl.

The line, which combines Adidas’ performance technology with streetwear designs for teen athletes, was able to get the Zendaya stamp of approval. Wearing a bright coral jersey (one of her favorites from the line) with a pair of heels and rolled up jeans, she sat alongside athletes T’erea Brown, Erika Tymrak, and Louisa Chirico who shared their past experiences of lackluster athletic apparel that was as technically inefficient as it was unappealing.

“As a fashion girl or somebody’s who’s into fashion, I think it’s really cool for young women to be able to express themselves on and off the court or the field,” Zendaya told MTV News at the event.

While Zendaya isn’t known for her athletic prowess, she says she grew up playing everything, adding, “My dad wanted me to be the first woman in the NBA. Didn’t happen. I went more of the artsy route. It worked out for me.”

It clearly has. Though Zendaya got her start as an actress and singer, her focus has quickly turned toward fashion. From starting a dialogue about hair through her appearance at the Oscars to experimenting with her style at the Met Gala, it’s clear she’s confident in her status as a “fashion girl.” At 18, she’s already designed her line of shows and continues to immerse herself in the industry, so it’s no surprise that she’s dreaming big about her future in fashion.

“Hopefully one day [I’ll create] my own fashion line,” she revealed. “I created my own shoe line and so I’m really excited about that. That’s something I’ve kind of learned about what it really takes to create a shoe. That whole process, it’s a lot. I’m very particular and I’m very picky so I wanted to make something that’s quality but affordable. And not just that typical the-look-for-less, but like, some cute shoes! I want these girls to have what I have and what I’ve had access to, but on a college budget. Not everybody is able to spend a thousand dollars on some Louboutins!”

The line, which will carry heels, flats, and sandals, will debut this fall. And while it’s “partially” done, Zendaya’s made sure everything is up to her standards.

“The sandals were fun for me because I don’t wear sandals a lot because I’ve never really found sandals that I liked,” she explained. “So I made the sandals that I would wear, that I actually like, and that I think look good on me.”

It’s hard to predict what Zendaya’s next project will be since she’s become a champion juggler of different projects, humanitarian work, and maintaing her beloved social media presence. But whatever comes next, we’re already fawning over it.
