Two words, OLD SCHOOL! You have to be a man of a certain age to know about the Nike Cortez. First released in 1968 and originally called the Tiger Corsair, the Cortez was later re-released and re-named in 1972 when it was introduced during the Olympics as a track shoe. The Cortez was originally designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, a legendary collegiate level track coach. Over it’s 40 year history the Nike Cortez has risen to iconic status becoming a classic collectable sneaker.

Originally a running trainer, the Cortez has become more of a classic collectable sneaker. The Cortez featured in the photo above is made of a premium black leather upper and features a two-toned foam sole with a woven Nike brand on the tongue. The red leather Nike swoosh branding is on the side.
