With February 14th just around the corner, a second Nike Cortez has been added to the brand’s Valentine’s Day offerings in a women’s only exclusive.

In certifiably plush style, the Nike Cortez is recieving an all-suede, all-red makeover. The palette at play here mirrors the same red & white cohesion seen on Nike releases each February, but this year marks the first cycle since 2020 where that’s made its way to the Cortez specifically. Leaning into a classy side of the festivities, the detailing here gets some touching up in kind, with the Nike branding on the back written out in cursive. The same goes for a gold “Cortez ’72” lace tab, no doubt meant to evoke wedding rings. In all, this Cortez slides in among a packed slate of releases for Nike Valentine’s Day 2024.

While some of the sneakers included in that collection are still yet to drop, the Valentine’s Day Cortez is already on sale now via the Nike website for $90.
