The return of the Nike Classic Cortez For Sale is not over yet. Today we spot two more colorways of the bejeweled version of the classic Cortez, featuring leather constructions in Team Red and Black. Unlike the rest of the Cortez Jewel colorways we’ve seen so far this year with either metallic or translucent Jewel Swooshes, these latest colorways feature solid white Swooshes to match the rest of the white accents throughout.
Entirely overshadowed by the Air Force 1’s 30th birthday in 2012 has been the 40th anniversary of Nike’s original running release. The Nike Cortez was celebrated in the ’40/40 Showcase’, and that SE Asian effort wasn’t followed by major US releases, but we’re finally starting to see some new styles arrive at select retailers. This new Classic Nike Classic Cortez For Sale is quite similar to its peer the Blazer, utilizing a tonal suede and mesh upper with a single contrasting shade, along with the unfinished nylon tongue, right down to the Sail sole (though this one conspicuously lacks any pre-yellowing).
Known as a regional favorite in Los Angeles, the Nike Classic Cortez For Sale has seen its core fanbase go so far west that it’s across the Pacific where the majority of significant recent releases have congregated. Good news, then, to see a new Classic Cortez Leather arrive at one of Europe’s top retailers.
