Nike has just added another colorway to its upcoming 2023 lineup of Nike Cortez releases. The simple color combination has elements of the winning recipe found in the J. Crew Killshot 2 and sees a green “Aloe Vera” mixed in with Sail.

The classic shoe also sees a mixture of suede on the toe and heel, where the uppers sit on a triple-toned gum sole unit. Adding more retro flair is a large Swoosh in the Aloe Vera along with a debossed Nike panel at the heel. The trainer is finished off with orange insoles.

Set for an early 2023 release, the Nike Cortez in Sail/Aloe Vera is priced at $120 USD.
