Nike aims to redeem the relatively quiet 50th-anniversary celebration of the Nike Cortez by releasing new ensembles of the iconic 1972 running sneaker. The latest release features an exclusive ‘Midnight Navy’ and ‘White’ color scheme, following the tradition of other iconic Cortez pairs with a two-tone arrangement on the upper and sole unit. 

The upper combines nylon and suede, while leather is used for the profile swooshes and upper heel panels. The serrated outsole showcases a strip of the ‘Midnight Navy’ tone just above it. This straightforward yet refreshing design option is tailored exclusively for women but will appeal to both long-time fans and newcomers of the Nike Cortez.
