Matt Varga Forrest Gump and Oregon track stars may have taken the first crack at the Nike Cortez, but the throwback silhouette has long sprinted past its running origins to become one of the true lifestyle titans for the Swoosh.
That remains unchanged as we enter the new year, expected to continue its dominance into its eye-popping 54th year. Yet proving that old dogs can learn new tricks is a fresh “White/Coconut Milk” variation. While the base leather arrangement sticks around for this spring-ready edition, exposed stitching throughout is the guiding light for this colorway, making subtler impacts in the middle of the eyestay, with pastels on the tongue, and in scattered fashion on the heel. The most visible touch, of course, is a DIY-style corded arrangement that replaces the traditional panelled Swoosh, executing a “skeleton” style inversion of the usual brand.
The Nike Cortez “White/Coconut Milk” is fittingly due out as part of the Spring 2026 slate, likely to carry a slight premium on its $100 retail price given the extra spice here. Catch official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page in mind for more updates as those surface.
