Nike Cortez
The Cortez is one of Nike's most legendary models, and its origins go all the way back to 1972, when they were first introduced. Among other things, this was the company's first running shoe. Aside from being clearly one of the most successful silhouettes, this reasonably priced sneaker is focused on the urban athlete. With fine synthetic leather, light padding and a comfortable exterior, they are not only a feast for the eyes, but also boast functionality. The Cortez sole features an iconic herringbone pattern that provides just the right grip - regardless of whether you've decided to spend the day in the spirit of running or "running" errands.

These sneakers were also introduced to the world in 1972.

The minimalist exterior is characterized by leather, which is complemented by subtle branding and colors on the tongue and heel, and the OrthoLite insole ensures that you are comfortable in them.
