The Nike Cortez is no doubt one of the most bare-bones of Nike’s retro models, born during the first wave of innovation from Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight as they broke out from their Onitsuka Tiger affiliation. The sneaker has enjoyed a long lifespan bolstered by big screen appearances, with Forrest Gump famously repping a pair and George Costanza rocking them on the regular. The latest retro treatment is above and beyond the standard fare, with the Nike Cortez Classic OG Leather going for the fine leather look in place of nylon uppers. Follow us after the jump for some detailed shots of this red, white, and blue pair that should show up as a quickstrike release. via ST
