Pasos for Oak Cliff, a non-profit, is set up by Jesse Acosta, a high school teacher, and Alejandra Zendejas, a math tutor. We both consider ourselves sneakerheads.
As sneakerhead educators and members of the community, we are fully aware that parents and guardians struggle to supply some basic necessities for their children - this is especially true when it comes to shoes.
As a result, we decided to turn our LOVE for sneakers into a proactive start up - Pasos for Oak Cliff. The goal of Pasos for Oak Cliff is to give students new shoes. The lack of good quality shoes leads to discomfort, ridicule, bullying, and isolation. We can prevent that from happening, but we cannot do it alone, we need YOUR SUPPORT.

SNEAKER DESIGNS
Storytelling through sneakers.
Sneaker Designs
Our Sneaker Design Program gives students the chance to turn their creativity into reality. Each pair you see here was imagined and designed by Pasos All Stars—high school students who combine art, storytelling, and innovation to create sneakers that reflect their voices and address real-world challenges. These designs are more than shoes—they’re statements of confidence, culture, and possibility.
