Nike Cortez Sale style is provided by a white and grey nylon upper with navy and orange accents, and “House Shoes” is printed vertically across the large tongue. To complete the combination of two Left Coast classics, “Preferably Wear With Shorts And Tall Socks” appears on the insole.
Leather uppers on this 1972 silhouette boast the classic “Black/Summit White” scheme that’s become a staple in places like Boyle Heights. This Nike Cortez Men adds hits of “Laser Orange,” which soon arrives on an SB Dunk Low, across branded tongue tags, sockliners and heel overlays, as well as part of the midsole. Elsewhere, “Vivid Purple” animates “NIKE AIR” text on the insole and the full-length serrated tread underfoot.
Nike Cortez Cheap Restrained in terms of color, the pair attains intricacy with subtler tweaks: the leather construction is swapped for a satin-like nylon and the swooshes at the side bear a layered execution marked by contrasting black stitch just in between. Branding at the tongue exhibits a half-half motif — sporting two logos side by side — while dubraes finish with a metallic silver polish vintage-esque “Cortez” debossing.
