The Nike Cortez was designed for the 1972 Munich Olympics by Bill Bowermann, former athletics coach at the University of Oregon and one of the founders of the swoosh brand. The Cortez running shoe has been used by athletes for its flexible, grippy, pounds waffle sole, topped with a shock-absorbing rubber sole. Subsequently, the Nike Cortez was quickly adopted by the street in the Los Angeles area and then in the world. The emblematic pair has marked a generation with its appearance in Steve Prefontaine's film Forrest Gump. Since then, Nike reissues the Cortez in many colors that will seduce you inevitably. The American firm collaborates regularly to release special editions of the icon of the world of sneakers like the Kendrick Lamar collab x Nike Cortez Basic Slip or the Stranger Things x Nike Cortez.
