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.
