The Iconic Nike Cortez Returns to JD
The Nike Cortez in White/Varsity Red/Varsity Blue is back at JD Sports, bringing a piece of athletic history to the streets.
Originally launched in 1972, the Cortez was one of Nike’s first running shoes, designed for both performance and style. Its iconic colorway in white with varsity red and blue accents quickly became a cultural symbol, later popularized in movies and embraced by streetwear enthusiasts worldwide.
This latest release stays true to the classic design, featuring a smooth leather upper for a clean and durable finish. The standout red Swoosh and blue detailing on the midsole pay homage to the shoe’s roots while keeping it fresh and versatile.
The foam midsole offers lightweight cushioning, making it as comfortable today as it was back in the day. The Cortez’s herringbone-patterned rubber outsole provides reliable traction and a signature look, making it perfect for pairing with everything from jeans and joggers to shorts. Whether you’re looking for a retro style statement or a reliable everyday sneaker, the Nike Cortez checks all the boxes. Ready to add this classic to your rotation?
