Defined as an all-time classic, the Nike Cortez has become a hallmark of fashion and sneaker culture, further emphasized by its unapologetically simple design. Seen in fashion editorials, on the streets, and in the 1994 hit film Forrest Gump, the vintage runner has cemented itself within history. In a recent wave of branding experiments by the Beaverton brand, extra swooshes and notes of typography have been adorned on the uppers of many of their silhouettes, which carries on in the upcoming take on the iconic Cortez. Finished in a luxe red leather with an extra set of logo hits along the heel and forefoot, the shoe comes in a bold arrival while the black and white sole unit maintain a more minimal identity. Retailing at $100 USD, the Nike Cortez “Red Orbit” will be released November 21st at Nike.com and Swoosh stockists
