Partnership Highlight: Notre x Nike x Arts of Life

Nike GO FlyEase Shoe (white mesh shoe with lime, peach, and light blue highlights) laying on an art desk that is covered with paint. Surround the shoe is various art material, such as paint, paintbrushes, and tape.

When our friends at Notre reached out on behalf of Nike to donate over a dozen pairs of the new Nike GO FlyEase shoes– we couldn’t have been more thrilled. Nearly a decade in the making, the Nike GO FlyEase shoe is designed with adaptive technology that allows the shoe to serve a broad range of wearers.

“For us, we felt it was important to provide accessibility via the sneaker to the community who needs it most- a community who can benefit from the technologies of the sneaker that allows the sneaker to be put on in a hands-free fashion,” says Alicia Gutierrez, Notre’s Brand Director. “We also feel that the artists at Arts of Life deserved to be spotlighted as artists on our platform, which we often use to feature members of the creative communities of Chicago as artists to know and support.”

Notre, a Chicago boutique located in the North West Loop, “serves as a platform for the community of Chicago to come together.” Alicia states. “For us, we were excited to start the relationship with Arts of Life and start working together in various capacities and this sneaker was just the start!”
