Nike continues to go back in time with its “Jewel” aesthetic. The Swoosh alteration will now make its way onto the classic Cortez silhouette. “Rare Ruby” and “Black Diamond” themes return as previously seen on the Nike Air Max 1 “Jewel.”  Each edition dons an all-white base as the aforementioned color monikers make their way onto the Jewel Swoosh, tongue, heel tab and midsole.

Both retailing for $100 USD, the Nike Cortez “Jewel” will launch at select retailers and online in both “Rare Ruby” and “Black Diamond” colorways on June 3.
