Nike Sportswear brought back the classic Nike Cortez in a number of OG ways throughout 2015, so the fact that they thought it was necessary to extend the upper to Chukka-like proportions shouldn’t be all that surprising. We’ve seen it done to other classic running models in the past like the Nike Air Internationalist, and the Nike Cortez Chukka occupies a similar place in the sneaker world. Nike even brought back two of the most iconic colorways to help ease the transition into a hightop Cortez. What do you think? Check out more photos below and stay tuned for a release date in the coming days.
