First released in 1968 as the Tiger Corsair, the Cortez was later re-released and re-named in 1972, quickly becoming one of Nike's most iconic silhouettes. Constructed from nylon, the shoe features a tonal suede heel panel and suede detailing to both the lace up and the toe box. The shoe sits atop a white midsole, and features classic red Swoosh branding to both the medial and lateral side walls. The silhouette is finished with a set of flat white laces, and vintage Nike branding to both the tongue and heel counter - 898280-100, Leather & Textile Upper/Synthetic Sole.
