Kendall Miles’ Nordstrom Takeover
Chicago was in for a treat last week, with a popup with Kendall Miles as part of the department stores’ Black Business Month. The Chicago-based shoe brand, which produces its gorgeous luxury heels in Italy, sold its most iconic styles and had a popup at the Michigan Avenue location from August 11th through the 13th. Shoppers got an opportunity to try these iconic styles like the Posh Mule in person and meet the brand's owner, founder, and namesake, Kendall Miles.

Signature styles by Kendall Miles have been seen styled on stars like Jordyn Woods, Kehlani, and Ashanti. Since 2015 the brand has prided itself on making a luxurious and quality product, only using the best materials and craftsmanship. Using ethically sourced sustainable materials is one way they make it happen. Kendall Miles' partnership with Nordstrom broadened the brand’s reach, introducing the luxury shoe company to shoppers who may have never heard of it. The brand also does not operate any brick-and-mortar locations. This popup brought a new shopping experience to the brand’s devoted fans who want to see and feel their products in person.
