Since 1972, the Nike Cortez has ruled as the ultimate combination of lightweight comfort and stability. Its original design included the first ever full-length, dual-density foam midsole, taking innovation to the next level and becoming an instant classic in the running world. But that was only the beginning. Always on the cutting-edge, the Nike Cortez has become even faster, using Flywire construction to make sure you cross the finish line feeling lighter than air. The look of the Cortez has changed as well, with a wide array of colors available in both leather and nylon making it the perfect statement shoe, no matter what your style. The iconic, over-sized Nike swoosh, however, remains a constant on every Cortez, staying true to its classic, running-inspired roots. With styles for men, women, and kids Champs Sports makes it easy for the whole family to step into the style that made Nike famous.
