The Nike Cortez by Tom Luedecke, the senior designer of the Nike Innovation Kitchen, offers a fresh take on the iconic 70s runner with a touch of Celtic-inspired graphics. Released as part of the 'Laser' pack in 2003, this version of the Cortez replaces the traditional overlays with an intricate pattern on its high-quality suede upper. Despite the updated design, it still features a plush midsole and herringbone traction to stay faithful to the original 1972 model.
