The Nike Cortez is the first track shoe released by Nike in 1972, which was designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman,an Olympic-class track coach, who felt that athletes needed a comfortable and durable running shoe designed for distance training and road running. This version of the silhouette plays around with new elements: woven textiles outfit the base, backlighting the rubberized toe and rearranged suede overlays. What’s more, Crater Foam builds out the midsole, cork is used for the insole, and Union LA branding marks both the forefoot as well as the heel.
