Nike’s Blue Ribbon Sports origins are usually lost on the modern day consumer so entrenched in the infamous Swoosh apparel and current offerings. Luckily Nike occasionally references the early beginnings of their running shoe creations like here with the Nike Roshe Cortez. Taking one of the most popular shoes across the board today in the Nike Roshe Run, Nike combines the pair with one of their first silhouettes in the Nike Cortez. What results is a combination of both new and old, as the vintage oversized Swoosh stands out in white to match the natural motion outsole while new tonal suede offerings arrive in University Red, Game Royal, or a Deep Forrest Green. A nod to Blue Ribbon Sports can be found on the insole with the original BRS logo in white on a royal blue backdrop. Are you a fan of any of these lifestyle-inclined Roshe Cortez pairs?
