The Nike Cortez, originally designed by Bill Bowerman in 1972 with the goal of creating the lightest and most comfortable shoe possible, has become an enduring icon in pop culture. This updated version maintains the retro appeal while incorporating modern comfort and durability enhancements. It features a wider toe area for a comfortable fit and firmer side panels, with re-engineered textile to prevent warping and creasing.
