The Nike Cortez turned 50 in 2022. Although the milestone anniversary celebration was rather lackluster, the silhouette has continued to emerge in new styles throughout the last seven months.

Ahead of fall, the old school running model has emerged in an eye-catching mix of “White” and “Campfire Orange.” Akin to pairs associated with Tom Hanks’ Forrest Gump character, the sneaker is comprised of a smooth leather upper clad in a “colorless” arrangement. Profile swooshes and upper heel overlays deviate in citrus flair, matching the vintage-like “Nike” branding on the tongue label and sock-liners. Midsoles feature slight grey contrast, but the bulk of the outdated performance sole unit opts for a “White” makeup. Serrated outsoles round out the two-tone-heavy outfit in a clean finish.

Enjoy official photos of the pair ahead, and anticipate a nike.com launch soon.
