Product Details
The all-white Nike Classic Cortez is a wardrobe fundamental. Nike's very first running shoe — designed in 1972 — has never gone out of style, and no colourway makes that clearer than a clean head-to-toe white. This 1:1 replica of the IB1857-100 reproduces every detail of the retail version: the white leather upper, the tonal Swoosh, the padded nylon tongue, and the sculpted foam midsole wrapped in a white rubber outsole. The leather construction gives the upper just enough structure to hold its shape across months of wear, while the interior nylon lining keeps things smooth and comfortable against the foot. The full-length foam midsole is both lightweight and flexible underfoot. Low-cut collar, rounded toe. Pairs cleanly with white socks and light-wash denim for the complete minimal aesthetic, or works as a bright contrast against darker outfits. A true all-season essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the white sole yellow over time?
The sole is white vulcanized rubber that can yellow with prolonged UV exposure, same as retail. Storing them in a cool dark place or using a crep protector spray will slow this.
How does sizing compare to other Nike silhouettes?
The Cortez runs a touch narrow but length is standard Nike sizing. Most buyers order their usual Nike size and find the fit comfortable.
Is the leather real or synthetic?
These use a high-grade synthetic leather that closely replicates the feel and appearance of the retail Cortez upper. The texture and sheen are well matched.
