Nike is launching a new iteration of its ‘Cortez’ silhouette in a new ‘White/Black’ color scheme. The famous serrated sole unit of the shoe features ‘Light Photo Blue’ components across the strip for a pop of color, while "NIKE" branding appears on the sock-liner. Also built with a base made entirely of white leather, the short version of the shoe paves the way for a covert, blacked-out Swoosh to adorn the lateral side. Crafted with Cortez's retro sponge-soft material, this pair is perfect for lovers of tennis-style silhouettes.
One of the most recognizable designs of the Swooshes for more than 50 years is the Cortez style, which has been transformed with multiple colorways over the years. The new Nike Cortez in White/Black is arriving on February 9th for $110 USD.
