Cortez Basic Nylon '06 'Midnight Navy'

A mixed-media approach defines the Nike Cortez Basic Nylon '06 'Midnight Navy' sneaker. Originally released in 1972 as Bill Bowerman's first masterpiece, the Nike Cortez was designed to defy the elements and give long-distance runners a lightweight ride. The tech benefits of the Nike Cortez take a backseat to its status as a style icon. Crafted in a classic color scheme, this version features a nylon upper accented with premium overlays and an engraved dubrae. Underfoot, a plush foam midsole and herringbone traction finish the look.
