The Nike Cortez "Sesame" is Now Available

Nike's classic Cortez model is back, this time gracing the sneaker scene in a new "Sesame" colorway.

This latest iteration emphasizes minimalist aesthetics, with a uniform all-leather upper dressed entirely in the titular hue. From there, neatly tucked within a sail midsole, sits a color-matched insert. Inside, tonal yet slightly lighter textile liners nod to Nike's attention to detail, delivering comfort with a whisper of visual interest.

Amid the muted "Sesame" backdrop, the pair features bright white Swooshes at the midfoot. Constructed of lightly tumbled leather, they add a tactile element and create a distinctive contrast, shattering the monochrome aesthetic.

White laces and nylon tongues further complement the design. They serve a functional role and contribute to the overall visual appeal, enhancing the minimalist design by drawing the eye toward the silhouette's iconic profile.

Although the US release date for this new Nike Cortez "Sesame" remains undisclosed, those Down Under can pick up pairs today from Hype DC.
