The ultimate street-style sneaker. Modeled initially as a running shoe, the Nike Cortez has become a street icon for urban neighborhoods worldwide. The lightweight feel, underfoot cushioning, and effortless style are only some of the reasons why this shoe is still so popular today. This iteration features a classic black Swoosh with a matching heel and blue midsole stripe. Inspired by the ’72 original, the foam midsole with iconic wedge insert delivers comfort from the get-go. Leather upper is easy to clean and easy to style. Rubber sole with herringbone pattern gives you plenty of traction. Padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great.
