Michael Le Union LA is undoubtedly one of the most exciting collaborators of the time, as they’ve previously drew in quite the crowd with the release of their many Air Jordans. And the same continues to be the case with the boutique’s Nike Cortez, whose “Smoke Grey” and “Lemon Frost” colorways are set to hit retailers tomorrow.
Dubbed the “Un-Cortez” by Union themselves, the collaboration near completely reimagines the beloved silhouette, affixing additional panels and new materials to its construction. The upcoming “Smoke Grey” and “Lemon Frost” colorways echo the same beats and themes seen with the prior two releases. Suedes alternate between neutrals and bright colors, while the canvas weave underneath complements with a similarly bold pattern. And alongside the Union branding — which marks the cork insole, forefoot, and tongue — the shoe features dilapidated midsoles and dubraes that call out the Cortez’s debut year.
For another look at the latest batch of Union LA x Nike Cortez colorways, see below. Both are slated to hit select retailers tomorrow, so keep an eye out on the stores listed below.
In other news, the Bad Bunny Forum Low Blue Tint should be releasing next month.
