Continuing to captivate the market more than five decades after its introduction, the iconic Nike Cortez has been injected with a revitalization throughout 2023. Spearheaded by an extensive roster of general releases, the Forest Gump-synonymous silhouette now flaunts a rich burgundy outfit.

From the suede vamp and heel counter to the soft textile of the sidewalls and the nylon inner lining, the near-entirety of the upper is cured in shades of “Team Red”. Silver metallic dubraes bring a premium finish to the OG color blocking while crisp white contrasts illuminate the profile swooshes, serrated sole unit and both the tongue and heel tab. While the foxing is attributed with an embroidered red logo, the tongue tab favors an “Obsidian” appearance much like the insoles and sliver of the midsole.
