Product Details
The Nike Cortez is where it all began. Launched in 1972 as Nike's first ever running shoe, the Cortez's clean low-profile shape, leather upper, and nylon lining have made it a timeless icon that transcends sport, music, and street culture. This 1:1 replica of the IR1332-002 colourway in black and white reproduces the split-coloured leather and nylon upper, the padded nylon tongue, the clean Swoosh in contrasting white, and the full-length foam midsole with durable rubber outsole. The lightweight nylon lining keeps the interior smooth and breathable, while the moulded foam midsole cushions each step with understated but reliable comfort. The low-cut, rounded-toe silhouette lends itself to almost any wardrobe — from vintage-inspired ensembles to everyday casual looks. A premium piece of sneaker history, replicated with care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these true to size?
The Classic Cortez runs slightly narrow. If you have wider feet, sizing up half a size is recommended. Standard width feet should order their usual size.
What is the upper material like?
The upper features a leather and nylon construction that closely mirrors the original Cortez build -- the leather panels feel supple and the nylon mesh insets are accurate.
Can I clean these with a damp cloth?
Yes, a slightly damp cloth works well on the leather panels. Avoid soaking the nylon mesh. Air dry away from direct heat to maintain shape.
