The classic Nike Cortez is receiving an aged treatment, this time in a new set of colorways including the upcoming “Black/Sail” makeup.

The shoe keeps it its clean and sleek aesthetic, easily worn with various outfits. The Nike Cortez comes dressed in a black, sail and alabaster color scheme and is constructed in a mostly premium leather build along the upper. Utilizing both tumbled and smooth leather, the Cortez has various points of interest, while mesh materials give the sneaker a comfort-focused feature. The black base matches the tongues and inner lining while sail highlights the Swooshes, heel tabs and branding on the insole. Black branding can also be seen on the heel. The shoe sits atop an alabaster sole to give the Cortez its vintage aesthetic.

Look out for the Nike Cortez “Black/Sail” arriving in the coming months at select retailers and online at Nike for $110 USD.
