The Nike Cortez, an acclaimed running shoe, holds significant historical value as it emerged as one of the brand's initial flagship models upon its launch in 1972. Its popularity skyrocketed, solidifying its iconic stature. Demonstrating their commitment to sustainability, Nike has employed their innovative Flyleather material in the construction of this shoe, comprising at least 50% leather fiber to diminish its environmental impact. Additionally, to further emphasize their eco-friendly approach, the predominantly white Cortez showcases a liner, laces, and branding made entirely from 100% recycled materials. To enhance visual appeal, subtle grey accents grace the Swoosh and midsole, introducing an elegant contrast to the overall design.
