Originally released in 1972, this well known colour-up of the Cortez is back and reissued once again.

The Cortez is one of the great Nike running shoes and this white/red/blue version is one of the most popular colour-ups. The upper features nylon and suede materials, which is a combo that replaces the OG leather construction, and hits of leather on the swoosh and heel tab are also in the mix. The red looks quite peachy here, with a lighter tone than the deeper, rich red on the previous versions. It’s a classic, simple and clean make-up that will always be a welcome reissue.

Available now from SoleHeaven for £49.
