The Cortez, created by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman as a track shoe, has been a longstanding icon of the brand for more than 45 years. Its original release dates back to 1972, with the reintroduction of the classic colorway occurring in 2016. This nostalgic edition showcases the timeless appeal of the shoe, featuring a high-quality white leather construction identical to its predecessor, enhanced by a blue midsole accent and a red Swoosh adorning the side panels.
