Nike continues to fuse football inspiration with its Cortez silhouette in the new “Morse Code” iteration.

The upcoming model follows the unveiling of the Cortez “Tiempo” and arrives with sleek suede uppers in a stunning soft brown hue. Branding lands on the matching suede panel swoosh, tongue tag and debossed Nike heel insignia, while the debossed swoosh on the fold over tongue delivers an extra kick. Staying true to its name, the shoe adds subtle hints of Morse code on the lateral ankle and insoles that spell out “N I K E.”

The sneaker then rests on a matching midsole and Gum outsole, while black laces tie them together for a neat finish.
