Andrew Rizzo Calling all Boy Scouts; Nike is releasing a new Cortez style featuring some cryptic morse code branding.
The sneaker is compelling enough as is, dressed in “Parachute Beige” nubuck along with a removable tongue flap for some added soccer shoe flair. The real highlight lives on the insoles and lateral side of the heel, both reading “NIKE” in morse code.
For what it’s worth, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Nike use morse code. In the early 2000s, the Beaverton brand released an “Urban Series” of footwear and apparel featuring the communication, including some pieces with translation guides. Just as it was back then, the underlying concept behind this Nike Cortez is fairly ambiguous.
The Nike Cortez “Morse Code” is an SE release, meaning we’ll likely get a markup over the model’s usual $90. We’re expecting a Fall/Winter 2025 arrival via nike.com and retailers; see official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page handy for more.
