With a growing international presence, Nike has established new themes that celebrate the cultures it has established connections to. For Korea, Hangul Day — also known as Korean Alphabet Day — commemorates the founding of the alphabet. Tapping into this, the Swoosh has produced “Hangul Day” colorways for the past couple of years with 2023 seeing the Dunk Low, Air Force 1 Low, Air Max 1 and now the Cortez dressed for the occasion.

For the Cortez, it rocks a brown that is darker than the hue found on the other silhouettes. This chocolate flavor covers the leather and suede upper with off-white chiming in at the Swooshes, tongue, lining and sole unit. The tongue tag showcases typical Nike branding while the heel tabs carry “Hangul Day”-themed hits that go with the sockliner graphics to complete the pair.

Despite revealing the four aforementioned “Hangul Day”-themed colorways, no release details have been shared by Nike regarding the capsule. Look for this version of the Cortez and its accompanying looks to land on shelves in Asia via Nike and select retailers this October with a global launch to follow afterwards.
