The Women's Nike Cortez Appears In "Light Crimson" For Fall 2025

Nike is rolling out a fresh women’s exclusive for Fall 2025 with the Nike Cortez arriving in a bold “Light Crimson” colorway—one that flips the script on the beloved “Forrest Gump” palette.

Swapping out the classic white base for vibrant red suede, this version delivers a striking update while still keeping the vintage DNA intact. The iconic oversized Swoosh remains in crisp white, creating a familiar contrast, while touches of blue at the midsole nod directly to the original Cortez styling. A white midsole and traditional herringbone outsole round out the design.

With its timeless shape and heritage track look, the Cortez remains a staple in Nike’s retro catalog—and this vivid take keeps it both relevant and fresh.

Expect the Women’s Nike Cortez “Light Crimson” to release Fall 2025 via Nike.com and select retailers.

In other news from Nike, the Jumpman will be bringing back the Undefeated x Air Jordan 4 OG in August 2025.
