Backstage at the recent Kids Choice Awards celebrity lounge coordinated by Distinctive Assets, the female "American Idol" contestants each snagged a pair, with black being the color of choice, although "Idol" judge Paula Abdul has a penchant for the pink, as do Hilary Duff and Kate Beckinsale. Speaking of "The O.C.," Mischa Barton has a pair in pink
and gray.
Reebok is also gifting the trainers to New York City's School of the American Ballet, but the Zenswa isn't just for the prima ballerinas of the world.
Made with glove leather and lined with satin, it's hard to go wrong. Plus, clumsy girls who never made it to
en pointe in dance class, have the option of winding ribbons up their calves without the pain of balancing all their weight on the tips of their toes.
Retailing for $70, the Zenswa hit stores in May. A Slip-On version, with standard laces rather than ribbons, is available for $60 and comes in suede as well as leather.
