Available Now // Nike Cortez "University Red"

A sneaker that has transitioned from its early 1970s running roots to becoming a symbolic piece of West Coast streetwear culture, the Nike Cortez continues to evolve for the 21st century while still honoring its rich heritage.

This new women's-exclusive edition of the Cortez is all about the allure of plush red suede. The shoe's upper is completely enveloped in this vibrant and luxurious material, setting a tone of upper-crust elegance. The boldness of the red is tastefully contrasted with white accents, which are thoughtfully placed on the thick-cut premium leather Swoosh, heel, and tongue tag overlays. The sole unit maintains the sneaker's traditional design with a contemporary twist. A bold red streak runs across the sole, echoing the upper's color and ensuring a consistent and cohesive aesthetic. Adding a touch of luxury and a nod to the sneaker's legacy, the shoe is finished with premium gold Cortez '72 dubraes, reminding them of Cortez's enduring appeal and its ongoing journey through sneaker history.
