nike air presto damen and Los Angeles fashion brand A.L.C., founded by former celebrity stylist Andrea Lieberman, have teamed up on a limited-edition Nike Cortez by A.L.C. sneaker for women ($100) available at Nordstrom at the Grove on Aug. 25 and on Nike.com, ALCLtd.com and Net-a-Porter.com starting Aug. 28.
This celebration of the 45th anniversary of nike free rn flyknit 2017, follows other recent women’s and unisex riffs on the shoe style by Nordstrom’s vice president of creative projects, Olivia Kim, in June and L.A. graffiti and tattoo artist Mister Cartoon (a.k.a. Mark Machado) in July, respectively.
The Cortez by A.L.C. features a nike classic cortez leather snakeskin-print back tab and two sets of laces, regular and extra-long, which can be wrapped around the ankles. Each of three colors features a unique expression on the sock liner inside: “Love More” (blush), “Do It. Own It” (gray) and “Think How You Can” (off-white). Those lines also are printed on A.L.C. T-shirts ($98) exclusive to ALCLtd.com.
“These are the sentiments that we want our girl to carry with her every day,” Lieberman said. “Our company and nike classic cortez sale share so many of the same values. What I’ve always strived for with A.L.C. is for a woman to put on a piece and feel good. … For me, these messages feel very empowering.
In terms of Hollywood, the nike classic cortez nylon was memorably featured in ’70s photos on the feet of Farrah Fawcett (that famed look was recreated by Bella Hadid in a Nike campaign for the shoe this year). Whitney Houston wore the Cortez for her 1991 Super Bowl halftime performance, and Tom Hanks did as well in 1994’s “Forrest Gump.” The Cortez also has a history with hip-hop. Over the years, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar and others have been spotted wearing Cortez sneakers.
