The iconic Nike Cortez silhouette is back with a suitable upgrade. A staple silhouette of the sneaker community since its birth in 1972, leather makes its way onto the simple upper without compromising its original construction. The popular “Triple Black” colorway covers the Cortez as it rests atop of an EVA midsole and rubber outsole. Black branding is found along the silhouette via its lateral and medial Swoosh logos in addition to Nike hits on the heel and tongue. Offering a subtle gleam and shine with light bouncing off at the perfect angle, this icon and its makeover are one of the cleanest summer drops.

The Nike Cortez Leather “Triple Black” is currently available at select Nike Sportswear retailers such as Xtreme for approximately $100 USD.
