Retaining a position as a Nike mainstay, the Cortez actually had its beginnings on the track. Released in '72 as a runner, the Cortez is now a lifestyle pick, readied here in off-white and green for an uncomplicated guise that oozes retro. Uppers are leather comprised, while Swooshing opts for a green hue to match with the two-toned midsole. Foamy cushioning carries each stride, and serrated rubber soles add optimal grip and traction on variable surfaces. | DN1791-101, Leather & Synthetic Upper/ Synthetic Sole.
