Entirely overshadowed by the Air Force 1’s 30th birthday in 2012 has been the 40th anniversary of Nike’s original running release. The Nike Cortez was celebrated in the ’40/40 Showcase’, and that SE Asian effort wasn’t followed by major US releases, but we’re finally starting to see some new styles arrive at select retailers. This new Classic Cortez VNTG is quite similar to its peer the Blazer, utilizing a tonal suede and mesh upper with a single contrasting shade, along with the unfinished nylon tongue, right down to the Sail sole (though this one conspicuously lacks any pre-yellowing). Let us know what you think about the NSW VNTG series’ most divisive feature being omitted on this latest release and grab yours today from Titolo.
