The beautiful custom designs are sought after by those wanting a shoe that is both stylish and comfortable, and caters to events such as weddings and special social events.

#3 - Amina Abdul Jillil: Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, this former professional dancer turned shoe entrepreneur launched her women's shoe collection in 2012. Her dancing career, performing with top stars like Britney Spears and Janet Jackson, led to another creative field, selling designer shoes in Los Angeles boutiques and also online.
#4 - Jhung Yuro: Owner Kris Wright created his line of luxury men's footwear because he felt there was a lack of quality shoes for men. Kris incorporates styles that reflect global influence and offers a luxurious, exclusive line of footwear for men. His UK-based store launched in 2005.

His Red, Black & Green sneaker is a favorite for conscious Blacks in the USA, Caribbean and the United Kingdom.
Note: If you are wondering why Pastry Shoes by Angela and Vanessa Simmons isn't on the list, it's because they sold the company back in 2011 for a reported profit of $15 million dollars. The company still exists at www.lovepastry.com, but is no longer Black-owned.
