Nike moves the classic needle again, injecting more life into an iconic silhouette. Beyond its aesthetic appeal and comfort, the Nike Cortez holds a special place in sneaker history. Originally introduced the same year as the 1972 Summer Olympics, it quickly became a symbol of athletic excellence and later street style. Following the Miami Dolphins and Muslin Viotech (W), the newest addition to the pantheon of the Nike Cortez comes in Light Orewood Brown Light Armory Blue.
At first glance, the Nike Cortez Light Orewood Brown Light Armory Blue sports a white-based nylon upper with a sleek, premium look. A light armory blue premium leather Swoosh on the sides connects to the back heel tab in the same color. The light orewood brown suede overlays complete this harmonious combination. A classic white rubber sole with a light orewood brown stripe completes the look for this Nike Cortez.
The Nike Cortez Light Orewood Brown Light Armory Blue is set to release in Summer 2024, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $90. Stay tuned to the Sole Retriever mobile app for the latest updates on this release and more from the sneaker and streetwear world.
