In the lead-up to next year’s Valentine’s Day celebrations, we’ve seen previews of multiple Nike sneakers that Cupid’s arrow has hit. So far, The Swoosh has given love-inspired makeovers to the Ja 2, Jordan 3, Vomero 5, and AF1 Low, with another classic Nike silhouette now joining the party — the Nike Cortez.
Coated in red hues, this kids’ exclusive Cortez features suede details in dark red on the toe cap, eyestays, and heel overlay. Below these panels sits a nylon base layer in red with 8-bit heart graphics stamped throughout the design. More heart details are found on the tongue tag, which comes with pink hearts, the reverse of the tongue tag, containing the phrase “Love is in the pair,” and the added hang tag that can be paired with another hang tag to complete the heart. White hues appear on the leather Swoosh on the midfoot and the heel tab, while metallic silver finds a home on the Swoosh-laden lace dubrae. Underfoot sits a white foam midsole with red details near the heel paired with a grooved rubber outsole.
The Nike Cortez Valentine’s Day GS will release in Spring 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in GS sizing, the retail price is set at $75.
