The Nike Cortez is a shoe that needs no introduction. From its celebrated debut during the 1972 Olympics to becoming a symbol of SoCal street style, the Bill Bowerman-designed silhouette is one of a select few to earn “timeless” status, standing tall as a go-to for fans of the neo-vintage aesthetic. If you count yourself among them, you might find a winner in this new “Dark Russet” colorway.

Delivering an autumn-appropriate feel, Nike engrosses the base in shaggy suede. “Flax” dots the insoles and 1972-style tongue branding, while “Sail” hops on the Swoosh, tongue, backtab, and laces. Rounding out the palette, Nike calls in bold “Muslin” heel lettering to match the midsole accent underfoot.

Nike hasn’t set a firm release date, but pairs should start cropping up at retailers in the near future for $100 a pop. Scroll through official images below if you’re considering adding a pair to your fall rotation.
