Nike Cortez

Nike Classic Cortez Leather/ White/ University Blue 

DN1791-102

Design Highlights:

A clean, heritage-inspired iteration of the 1972 track icon. Released as part of the 2023–2024 "Recraft" series, it updates the original Tinker Hatfield design with a wider toe box and firmer materials to improve the overall fit and durability.

Design Highlights:

Classic Aesthetic: Features a crisp White leather base with vibrant University Blue (North Carolina-style) accents on the Swoosh and heel tab.

Updated Materials: Constructed from a re-engineered smooth leather that is designed to hold its shape better and resist warping more effectively than previous retro versions.

Signature Details:

Swoosh: A bold University Blue leather Swoosh spans the side panels.

Heel: Includes the classic "Nike" embroidery in white on a blue heel tab.

Midsole: The signature Sail-coloured foam midsole features a contrasting University Blue wedge in the heel for retro cushioning and style.

Original Tooling: Retains the iconic herringbone-pattern rubber outsole in white, providing reliable heritage traction and the classic Cortez profile.

Tongue: Features a vintage-style exposed foam tongue for an authentic 1970s feel.

Release Date: Late 2023

Usage & Care:

Fit: While the "Recraft" series offers a slightly wider toe box, the Cortez still has a notoriously narrow fit. Most users recommend going up half a size (or a full size for wider feet).

Target Gender: Unisex
