Nike Adds Seasonal Warmth to the Cortez “Light British Tan”

The Nike Cortez has long been a West Coast staple, but its appeal stretches far beyond California’s borders, cementing its legacy as one of the brand’s most enduring silhouettes. With each season, the classic runner finds new ways to stay fresh, and for Fall 2025, it takes on a rich “Light British Tan” finish perfect for cooler months.

This edition keeps it rooted in tradition, featuring a classic nylon base in a deep mocha tone, with contrasting overlays of lighter tan leather at the Swoosh and heel. A vintage-styled sail midsole keeps things grounded in Cortez heritage, while a creamy heel wedge and bright orange tongue branding offer subtle nods to Nike’s early running days.

Expect the Nike Cortez “Light British Tan” to arrive on Nike.com and select retailers this Fall.
