The women's version of the Classic Cortez, known as the Wmns Classic Cortez SE 'Diffused Taupe' sneaker, is a remarkable creation by Bill Bowerman that first hit the market in 1972. This revamped edition maintains the iconic style of its predecessor but introduces tonal suede overlays and matching laces in a captivating Diffused Taupe shade, replacing the original lightweight nylon upper. To add a touch of elegance, the sneaker features gold foil branding along the quarter panel and heel cap. Completing the look, serrated rubber outsoles provide the finishing touch to this timeless design.
