Nike Cortez: A Retro Star Makes a Comeback
If you were in the 70s, you would have them on your feet. If you are now, you will again. Nike Cortez have soared to the top of the fashion Olympus. Their low silhouette, subtle nostalgia, and perfect compatibility with wide-leg pants, varsity jackets, and midi skirts make them the Chanel of sneakers.
And yes, you can wear them to a meeting or brunch with your favorite editor without any shame. Unless, of course, you're a barefoot evangelist.
