ANSWER: D) It became iconic due to its popularity among local subcultures, like chicano and hip-hop communities, in the 1970’s and 1980’s

The Nike Cortez became iconic in Los Angeles due to its widespread adoption by Chicano and hip-hop communities in the 1970s and 1980s. Its sleek design and affordability made it a staple in street fashion, particularly in East LA, where it symbolized cultural identity and style. The shoe's popularity was further boosted by its appearance in films and music, cementing its status as a cultural emblem of the city.
