Matt Varga Is there a better lifestyle proposition in the Beaverton catalog than the Nike Cortez? In the past year and change, the simplistic retro runner has become a true tentpole product for the Swoosh, joining the likes of the Nike Dunk, Air Jordan 1 and Zoom Vomero 5 as shoes that roll out in countless colorways to fit into as many wardrobes as possible. The latest women’s offering casts a wide net, pasting coral tones over a hard-to-argue with off-white base.
Especially in this cloud-like tonality, the plush atmosphere of the Cortez’s fabric siding is enhanced even more. Sneaking in rust pink accents in the margins (the insole, Swoosh & heel cap the most obvious showcases) allows vivacity without compromising the “all-white” summertime formula. As compared to mainline Cortez drops, the only additional difference comes with the laces, sized up in chunky fashion to further set this shoe apart from the crowd.
The Nike Cortez “Sail/Pink” is expected to hit shelves & Nike channels in the coming weeks; anticipate a $90 MSRP. In the meantime, get a better sense of this pair via the official images just ahead.
