The Cortez’s classic “Forrest Gump” look isn’t going anywhere anytime soon; over the past few months alone the timeless White/Varsity Royal-Varsity Red combo has graced the likes of the Cortez 72, “Athletics West” drop and Ultra Moire make-up and now the colorway is back yet again — this time on the Classic Cortez OG. As per usual, a white leather upper dons bold red accents while a dash of blue graces the midsole. On this particular drop, OG nods come in the form of retro branding and exposed padding on the nylon tongue.

This reintroduction of the 1972 release is due out this Thursday, July 14 at select NSW spots and nike.com.
