The Family-Owned Footwear Brand Pays Homage to their Roots
with a Fashion Retrospective
NEW
YORK, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nina Shoes,
the iconic women's footwear brand, announces the launch of its
limited-edition Archive Collection, featuring six styles that
capture the effortlessly chic spirit of the brand's origins as it
celebrates its 70th year of creating exciting footwear that women
want to wear.
As an original in the footwear industry, Nina Shoes has
continually set the standard for design and innovation.
Founded in 1953 in a factory on Prince Street in Soho by
Stanley and Mike Silverstein, the
brand's first styles were handmade, decorated wood-bottom clogs
with leather and vinyl vamps attached with upholstery tacks. These
clogs, with their bold silhouettes, unique details, and exciting
colors, captured the fashion vibes of the '50s and launched Nina as
a name in the fashion footwear business.
With the limited-edition Nina Shoes Archive Collection, the Nina
family pays homage to its heritage as it gives its customers a
glimpse into the early days of Nina. Nina Shoes partnered with
fashion influencers Caroline
Vazzana, Belle Bakst and
Sophie Cohen to appear in the
official campaign for the Archive Collection, as they each embody
the style and originality of the brand's beginnings.
"Nina was an instant success, with its unique, fun and flirty
handmade clogs and patchwork details. We captivated everyone from
the hip, mod girls in downtown Greenwich
Village to the vibrant Miami scene and Hollywood's fashion elite. Whether she was
standing out at a poetry reading or walking the runway in
a beauty pageant, women who knew fashion chose Nina. We were loved
for our creativity, style and comfort, and still are today," said
Flori Silverstein, daughter of
co-founder Stanley Silverstein and
the designer behind the Archive Collection.
The Nina Shoes Archive Collection is a curated line of
ageless styles inspired by designs that have left an
indelible mark on the fashion footwear
landscape over the past seven decades. Redesigned with today's
"Nina woman" in mind, this selection of iconic and
original styles has been brought to life to commemorate the
70th anniversary milestone occasion. Highlights include the VIBE, a
modern take on the original wood-bottom clog and the VILLAGE, a
style that combines a denim patchwork upper with a hand-painted
clog bottom—two details that are quintessentially Nina.
Each pair of the limited-edition styles is numbered and
represents a unique chapter in Nina's legacy. The collection
presents an opportunity for customers to enjoy a piece of wearable
fashion history, with price points from $125-$145.
"We are thrilled to give our customers a look at the designs
that started it all, and to share in the legacy of fashion and
family that my late father in-law, Stanley
Silverstein, began 70 years ago," said Ezra Dabah, CEO of Nina Footwear. "As we
celebrate this major milestone, we attribute our continued success
to the craftsmanship and design expertise we've shared across
generations, as well as our ability to innovate and be on the mark
with what the Nina woman wants to wear."
Today the brand is synonymous with modern glamour and can be
found internationally across major department stores and
specialty boutiques. Nina Shoes includes premium children's
footwear, handbags and bridal accessories under the leadership of
CEO, Ezra Dabah. The label was named
after Stanley's eldest daughter, Nina
Miner, who is the Chief Creative Officer for the brand.
The Archive Collection is available now on
www.ninashoes.com. For more information about the collection and
