# Cool-Toned Suede Sneakers Nike Releases Official Images of the 'Off-Noir' Union x Nike Cortez By Kanesa D | Published 2022-06-20 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/off-noir References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2022/6/union-nike-cortez-off-noir-dr1413-001-release-date) & [nike](https://www.nike.com/ca/) Official images of the newest Union x [Nike Cortez](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallic-gold-1) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/field-general) have produced; the two brands previously launched new ‘[Air Jordan 2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-23-1)’ 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.
