Nike is switching out the Cortez silhouette’s smooth traditional leather build with its “Black/Sail” offering.
Unlike the typical model, this shoe trades its smooth leather uppers for black nubuck leather. Meanwhile, suede lands on the panel swoosh and heel, both of which arrive in a complementing soft gray hue. Additional branding can be found on black and white tongue tag and insoles, as well as the black Nike heel embroidery. The sneaker then rests on a white midsole and herringbone outsole. Tying it together for a neat finish are black rope laces, fitted with silver lace dubraes for a final pop.
