The Nike Cortez leather sneakers feature a reengineered upper that is extra durable to help prevent warping, creasing and scuffing. The sneakers incorporate a wider toe box for a more comfortable fit, and firmer side panels to help keep the foot in place for a more stable feel. The durable foam midsole features an iconic wedge insert, while the herringbone outsole pattern pairs durable traction and heritage style. These are low top and athletic sneakers.
