Nike is reimagining its iconic Cortez silhouette with a fresh soccer-inspired twist. Following its fusion of the Air Max Plus and Tiempo lines, Nike introduces the Cortez Leather SE “Metallic Cool Grey.” This release blends elements from Nike’s famous soccer boots with the timeless style of the Cortez, creating a modern upgrade.

The standout feature of this revamped Cortez is the oversized tongue flap. Inspired by the Tiempo soccer boots, the tongue showcases a bold Swoosh logo. Additionally, the “72” embroidery on the heel honors the Cortez’s debut year, highlighting its rich heritage. The upper comes dressed in a sleek “Metallic Cool Grey” color, offering a futuristic and polished aesthetic. Black accents on the Swoosh and heel tab create a sharp contrast, adding depth to the overall design.

While the shoe embraces modern updates, it retains the traditional low-cut collar and streamlined profile. These elements preserve the essence of the original Cortez design, balancing sport and streetwear influences perfectly. This mix of styles ensures the Nike Cortez “Metallic Cool Grey” stands out in Nike’s fall 2024 lineup.

The Nike Cortez Leather SE “Metallic Cool Grey” is expected to release in September 2024. You can find it at select Nike Sportswear retailers, both in-store and online, including Nike.com. Priced at $90 USD, this edition is a must-have for Cortez fans and sneakerheads alike.

Keep an eye out for this fresh take on a classic, perfect for those looking to add a unique pair to their collection.
