The Nike Cortez is a silhouette that only gets better over time. Whether it's new patterns, different textures, or the occasional jeweled Swoosh, the Cortez stays on top as an iconic Nike shoe. Fresh for 2024, the Nike Cortez Vintage Chlorophyll has the ladies in mind. A women's exclusive, this pair continues a style scheme that harkens to Nike's roots.
This Nike Cortez Vintage stands out aesthetically as you see the fuzzy nap of chlorophyll suede. This hairy suede is crafted by sanding or rubbing the inside layer of the leather. A method more commonly seen on higher-end shoes. The result of the process is evident by the length and quality of the suede, making it look like tall grass or a throwback to shag carpets.
The break in this green oasis is the light sail-colored iconic Nike Swoosh on the sides, back heel tab, nylon tongue, and cotton lining. Classic Nike branding sits atop the tongue tag in black, with a safety orange Swoosh behind it. Light Photo Blue accents are seen via the Nike branding on the back heel, as well as the midsole stripe that wraps around the heel of the shoe. A coconut milk-colored foam sole and an extra set of chlorophyll green laces complete the look for this Nike Cortez Vintage.
The Nike Cortez Vintage Chlorophyll W will release Spring 2024, through Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in women’s sizing, the retail price is set at $100. Keep it locked to our Twitter and the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on the latest releases, raffles, and more from the world of sneakers and streetwear.
