Originally designed by Bill Bowerman as a running shoe, the Nike Cortez has come a long way since its inception. The Nike Cortez Basic Nylon ‘Obsidian’ sneaker pays homage to its heritage while incorporating contemporary elements. The sneaker boasts a nylon upper and suede overlays, exuding a nostalgic feel. However, the design has been revamped to prioritize comfort, featuring a wider and higher heel. The color scheme remains timeless, predominantly in a dark blue shade with a sleek Silver Swoosh, complemented by a pristine white midsole and outsole. Embracing the past and embracing modern advancements, the Nike Cortez Basic Nylon ‘Obsidian’ offers a perfect blend of classic aesthetics and enhanced functionality.
