Allen, the British ska-pop singer who is currently touring Europe before a string of dates in the US in September, helped the shoe giant design the "Lily Allen Air Max 90," according to a Nike press release. "The shoe, which will only be available via various exclusive US promotions this summer, will be red, white, and blue with stars on the laces," Nike said.
