Step into Nike history with the Nike Sportswear Womens Cortez Textile, inspired by the 1972 original designed by Bill Bowerman, with iconic details, easystyling leather and a revamped design. The Nike Sportswear Womens 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. Now newly enhanced, 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. Reengineered upper is extra durable to help prevent warping, creasing and scuffing. Wider toe box provides a more comfortable fit. Firmer side panels help keep your foot in place for a more stable feel. Durable foam midsole with iconic wedge insert lets you comfortably wear them day in, day out. Herringbone outsole pattern pairs durable traction and heritage style. Padded, lowcut collar looks sleek and feels great. The first Beaverton creation to ever signal the Swoosh. Nike's Cortez is a running marvel from 1972 that's constructed from a nylon upper with suede and leather overlays. A wedged EVA midsole provides foamy cushioning, while a herringbone rubber outsole signals the model's track origins.
