Union And Nike Team Up On The Nike Cortez

Los Angeles-based Union has teamed up with Nike once again and fittingly, put their touch on the Nike Cortez, a staple in Los Angeles. The sneakers share a striped canvas upper in their respective colors, with suede overlays featured throughout the sneaker. The UN/LA tag is seen on the lateral side with the Frontman logo debossed on the heeltab. Lastly, the sneakers share co-branded tongue tags and cork insoles that are co-branded as well. Check out the links and photos to the respective colorways below and keep it locked on our Sneaker Release Dates page for any updates.

This sneaker uses a striped canvas upper with tan and red suede overlays throughout. The Swoosh is seen in red suede, with the heeltab featuring the Union Frontman debossed in navy. Co-branding is seen on the tongue and on the cork insoles, with the yellow UN/LA tag seen on the lateral side underneath the lace overlays. A marbled midsole, which we speculate is made of Nike Grind rubber is seen with a rubber overlay on the toe and heel with a beige outsole finishing off the sneaker.
