Official images of the newest Union x Nike Cortez iteration have surfaced, and this time the shoe arrives in a cool-toned ‘Off-Noir’ colorway. This sneaker is one of many releases that Nike and Union Los Angeles have produced; the two brands previously launched new ‘Air Jordan 2’ and ‘Dunk Low’ silhouettes. Sneakerheads have eagerly awaited an update to the ‘Nike Cortez’ line since its last launch in 2021.
The ‘Off-Noir’ colorway relies on black suede overlays to contrast the blue and green canvas base. Text that reads “UN/LA” is printed on a tag at the forefoot in a bold orange shade. Union and Nike cobranding can be spotted on the tongue and insole, and the shoe is finished with green laces and stitching.
The 'Off-Noir' colorway launches June 21.
