Much like the Nike Air Force 1 reigned throughout the boroughs of New York City, and the Reebok Classic Leather did much of the same in New Orleans in the late 90’s, similarly, the Nike Cortez‘s claim to fame is the streets of Compton, California.
The staple west coast silhouette, fittingly, honors the city where it was popularized decades ago. In a smart and subtle ode to Compton, the Cortez releases in tonal black and white colorways dressed in lush nylon fabrication with suede paneling. 1972 is embroidered at the heel for further distinction.
Both these new Nike Cortez colorways will be available starting April 29 at Oneness.
