The WMNS Nike Cortez “Picante Red” DZ2795-601 has undergone several upgrades to boost both its performance and longevity. Based on feedback from wearers, these trainers feature functional enhancements.
Engineers have redesigned the upper with materials that resist warping, creasing, and scuffing, significantly extending the shoe’s lifespan in terms of appearance. A broader toe box enhances comfort and accommodates a wider range of foot shapes without restricting movement.
The design now includes firmer side panels that stabilise the foot within the shoe, reducing internal movement and providing a solid base for support. The midsole incorporates durable foam and a classic wedge insert, offering consistent support and making the shoe suitable for all-day wear.
The outsole, designed with a herringbone pattern, provides reliable traction and preserves the traditional aesthetic of the Cortez. A padded, low-cut collar ensures comfort around the ankle, preventing chafing during movement.
The trainers come in a “Picante Red” colour, enhanced with “University Blue,” “Coconut Milk,” and “Sail” accents, giving them a distinctive appearance that subtly stands out. This makes them a versatile option for various occasions.
First released in 1972 as a pioneering running shoe, the Nike Cortez has evolved into a staple of sneaker culture, renowned for its straightforward design and reliable functionality. The latest refinements ensure the WMNS Nike Cortez continues to be a favoured choice for those prioritising performance and durability in their footwear.
