In celebration of Nordstrom’s “Make Room for Shoes” campaign and
rich shoe history, dating back to 1901, the Sam Edelman x SCAD
capsule collection delivers innovative and exclusive products
centered around the emerging trends for the season. This
collaboration will deliver a capsule collection of five sneaker
products, developed by combining the minds of a longstanding,
heritage brand with a fresh new perspective from today’s youth. The
products will be offered exclusively at 33 select Nordstrom stores
nationwide and on Nordstrom.com beginning March 4.
“Mentoring the next generation of talent is a cornerstone of Sam
Edelman's commitment to the future of design,” remarked Jesse
Edelman, general manager and senior vice president of the Sam
Edelman division. “Our collaboration with the SCAD students is a
testament to our belief in supporting the rising generation of
professionals, providing them with a platform to express their
visions under the guidance of an established brand.”
Sam Edelman and his wife, muse, and business partner, Libby
Edelman, are longtime supporters of the college and their son Jesse
Edelman attended SCAD. Each year, the Edelmans recruit SCAD
graduates to Sam Edelman’s Summer Internship Program. Sam Edelman
currently employs eight SCAD graduates full-time.
Sam and Libby spent time at SCAD, working with the students to
create this collection of sneakers through an unrestrained,
imaginative approach to women’s and kids’ sneaker design. “Working
with Sam Edelman and Libby on this project was nothing short of
amazing,” remarked Michael Mack, SCAD professor of sneaker and
accessory design who led the course. “Their team was attentive and
provided our students with a real window into what the industry is
like and how product is created from season to season. The
student's voice was really seen in each of the designs that went
into production. For many of the students it was their first chance
designing for a major footwear brand and to have that project
featured in Nordstrom is nothing short of a dream come true."
