Cortez Basic Leather '06 'White Navy'

In 1972, Nike released Bill Bowerman's first masterpiece—the Nike Cortez—to be lighter and more weather-resistant than any other long-distance running shoe at the time. Since then, it's been reimagined again and again, and the tech benefits have taken a back seat to its status as a style icon. The Nike Cortez Basic Leather '06 'White Navy' sneaker recalls the original with its leather upper cast in a classic color palette. A foam midsole and herringbone traction pattern ride below.
