When was the Nike Cortez Released?

Nike Cortez has a special place among the Swoosh brand’s footwear collection, being their first track shoe. When it was released in 1972, the sneaker that would go on to be a regular part of the Nike line-up gained immediate attention thanks to the broad appeal of its design, which featured a bold, oversized Swoosh on the side of the upper. Additionally, it boasted improved traction and a full-length midsole, a key addition for practical purposes and one that would become a staple of the industry.

The person credited with the creation of the Cortez was none other than Bill Bowerman, the legendary co-founder of Nike, who was keen to create a trainer that would meet the needs of runners, giving them the means to evolve as athletes. Today, however, the shoes are worn by people of all varieties, sporty individuals and casual fashion fans alike.

How to Wear Nike Cortez Shoes

If you want to embrace the timeless style of the Nike Cortez, the JD Sports AU selection has what you’re looking for, with several colourways, including the classic white leather alongside different-colour highlights. Across each version, the biggest standout is the brand logo, whose large size creates contrast with the dominant colour of the silhouette.

Considering that the collection originated as a running shoe, it goes without saying that these sneakers aren’t intended for formal wear. To style them properly, you’ll want to grab your more casual clothes—that is, T-shirts, shorts, tracksuit bottoms, and so on.
