Stadium Goods, a sneaker and streetwear marketplace, said Wednesday that it has partnered with Nordstrom Inc. to bring rare sneakers and top brands like Air Max 1s and Yeezy Boosts to the floor of the retailer’s new Manhattan men’s store. “Sneakers are the fastest growing category in men’s footwear,” according to a statement from Kristin Frossmo, executive vice president and general merchandise manager for shoes at Nordstrom. “Sneakers have disrupted fashion and are now being mixed with everyday looks from desk to dinner,” Frossmo said. Nordstrom shares are down 2.7% in premarket trading after news that the company ended talks to go private. Shares are up 18% for the past year while the S&P 500 index is up 16% for the period.
