With the impending drop of Nike’s Forrest Gump Cortez, the timeless running silhouette is back in focus. More than ever, Swoosh creatives are using the model to express trendy seasonal colors, exactly the case with the upcoming “Safety Orange/Life Lime” edition.

This shoe blends together two characteristic hi-vis shades, dominated by radiant tones on the canvas upper that are refracted slightly for burnt orange suede panels. While it doesn’t take up as much real estate, glow-in-the-dark-like “Life Lime” drives home the energetic atmosphere of this colorway by painting the heel cup and Swoosh. The opposing shades are about. as bright as you can find, making this a true statement look for the Nike Cortez, typically clad in more low-key arrangements.

No release date has been set for the Nike Cortez “Safety Orange,” but we project a Summer release and the typical $90 retail price. Check out the official image gallery embedded below for a closer look before the shoe materializes.

Shifting to the Jordan Release Dates 2024 calendar, the long-awaited Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” gets its wide release May 4th. Follow the link for our comprehensive buyer’s guide.
