The NikeLab Roshe Cortez has been officially introduced and now we take a look at the Black and White colorway.

Introduced in the mid-1960s, the Nike Cortez was first designed by legendary Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman, with insights directly from his long-distance running pupils. Now, it’s reconstructed with Roshe One natural motion tooling for an updated take on a lifestyle legend.

The latest Cortez iteration finds itself at the intersection of heritage and hybrid design, blending iconic design lines with modern updates, including premium leather, natural motion tooling, and vintage-treated accents.

True to form, the iconic design is dressed in an original Cortez colorway. Updates include a leather heel tab, a rubber toe guard, and a vintage-treated tongue for classic style.

Check out the additional photos below and look for the NikeLab Roshe Cortez “Black/White” to release this Thursday, June 18th at select NikeLab locations worldwide.
