Nike Sportswear’s original Forrest Gump-approved Cortez has made a number of appearances in recent months, returning in OG 1972 form last fall before getting a chukka makeover and subsequent the Athletics West treatment earlier this month. Now the original look is getting its most modern update yet as NSW brings Ultra Moire construction to the retro low-top. The result is a sleek design that retains the old red, white and blue aesthetic while dressing it in a lightweight, perforated upper with a comfy sole to match.

Finished with subtle reflective accents, the Cortez Ultra Moire is due out later this summer.
