Matt Varga Whether it’s Forrest Gump’s or Kendrick Lamar’s pair, some of the most iconic looks for the Nike Cortez have come in red. Thus, it makes sense that Nike continues to heavily rely on that as they unveil each successive season’s versions of the retro runner. The next, a women’s exclusive, uses “Fire Red” as a contrast while primarily dressing the shoe in “Medium Soft Pink.”
Viewing these simply from their silhouette, the “Medium Soft Pink” Nike Cortez don’t vary all too much formally from past editions. They hold onto the textile upper, suede panels and leather Swoosh, the former two dressed in the titular rosy shade while the latter gets a Fire Red adornment.
Acute observers will note the one structural change from standard Cortez releases here, a Nike Blazer like exposed foam tongue replacing the traditional leather one. Though they may not twist the formula all too much here, the “since ’72” sneakers are just as classic as ever, with the palette chosen here making these a fit for any spring wardrobe.
No release date nor retail price has been set for the Nike Cortez “Medium Soft Pink.” In the absence of concrete info, we project a wide women’s size release in the next few weeks. If past price points hold, you can expect these to command between $90 and $110.
On the other side of the sneaker world, the Off-White “The Baller” were just unveiled at Milan Fashion Week.
