Nike is back with another summer classic, this time bringing the Cortez back in a new “Sesame” colorway. The iconic silhouette has been staking its claim in the footwear world since 1972 and has returned in time for the warmer months.

The latest colorway sees a blend of sesame, sail and white hues, giving the Nike Cortez iteration a combination of smooth and tumbled leather. The shoe arrives with mesh tongues and inner linings for added comfort while much of the sneaker is highlighted in the sesame colored based. Contrasting the upper is the Swoosh in crisp white, matching the heels, tabs and tongues. Nike’s branding is prominently placed on the tongue labels, heels and insoles while the shoe rounds out with sai laces and a rubber outsole.

Take a look above at the Nike Cortes “Sesame” slated to arrive in the coming weeks for $90 USD at select retailers and online at Nike.
