Step into Nike history with the Nike Sportswear Cortez Textile, inspired by the 1972 original designed by Bill Bowerman, with iconic details, easy-styling leather and a revamped design. The Nike Sportswear Cortez Textile celebrates a serious running heritage, using inspiration from the original Cortez shoe from 1972. Designed by Nike cofounder Bill Bowerman, the iconic silhouette is returned to your feet with classic comfy leather and the iconic wedge insert. This version of the Cortez widens the toe box and offers a more durable feel. A padded low collar and classic herringbone outsole all help support you, in a colourway that pairs nicely with anything that could benefit from a touch of retro. The reengineered upper is extra durable to help prevent warping, creasing and scuffing. The wider toe box provides a more comfortable fit. Firmer side panels help keep your foot in place for a more stable feel. The durable foam midsole with iconic wedge insert lets you comfortably wear them day in, day out. The herringbone outsole pattern pairs durable traction and heritage style. The padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great.
