Nike introduces its latest collaborative snekaer model made alongside sacai and it spotlights the signature Cortez 4.0 silhouette for the season with the OG colorway. It is set to join the ongoing 50th-anniversary celebrations of the shoe -- it is detailed with a classic blend of white with Light Cream and University Red.
This is the original design that was done by Nike's co-founder Bill Bowerman back in 1972. It has a white leather material that makes up the base foundation of the shoe before it is detailed with grey suede overlaying on top along with touches of blue and red for tonal contrast. Details by sacai include the signature stacked look to elevate the shoe.
