A true pioneering piece for runners since its original release back in 1972, the Nike Classic Cortez has since crossed boundaries into mainstream pop culture, with a little help no doubt from its appearances in both Forrest Gump and Seinfeld. In a fresh reinterpretation on a bonafide cult classic, we see here the brand new Nike CLASSIC CORTEZ AW QS. Fitted with its characteristic herringbone patterned outsole, the slick gradient white uppers canvass nicely for the lively Varsity Red markings of the Swoosh and heel tab, while Varsity Royal line the outsole in what makes for a slick triumvirate color scheme. Opting for composed simplicity, these classic silhouettes will no doubt prove an easy transition into your summer wardrobe roster. You can find the Nike CLASSIC CORTEZ AW QS at participating retailers or in store at INVINCIBLE starting June 18.
