You spoke. We listened. The iconic Nike Cortez returns in a fresh “Infinite Gold” colourway, updated based on your feedback while preserving the retro charm you adore. This version features a wider toe area and firmer side panels, ensuring you can comfortably wear these trainers all day. The re-engineered textile upper is designed to prevent warping and creasing, making this a must-have for every Cortez fan.
The re-engineered upper, with suede accents, is now extra durable, helping to prevent warping, creasing, and scuffing. A wider toe area offers a more comfortable fit, allowing for extended wear without discomfort. Firmer side panels keep your foot securely in place, providing better support. The foam midsole with a wedge insert delivers lightweight cushioning, making each step feel softer. Meanwhile, the herringbone outsole pattern combines durable traction with a classic look.
Designed in 1972 by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, the Nike Cortez was created to be lighter and more comfortable than any other running shoe at the time. It quickly became the most popular running shoe in the country and has since evolved into a cultural icon. With its distinctive design, the Cortez is more than just a trainer; it’s a piece of history.
