The Nike Cortez 'Athletic Department' is the newest model in Nike's college-themed retro collection, and it perfectly combines old charm and modern design. The first Cortez in the series is covered in plush Pale Ivory suede, and the entire line embodies classic design elements and vibrant colour accents. 

It features striking 'Deep Royal Blue' accents on the Swoosh, heel overlay, tongue, insole branding, and heel wedge. To complete the design, the classic gum rubber outsole, a hallmark feature of heritage footwear aesthetics, adds the finishing touch.
