In celebration of the 50^th anniversary of the Cortez, originally released in 1972, Nike has teamed up with a tightly-edited cast of collaborators, including Sacai’s Chitose Abe, for inventive re-issues.  

While Abe chose to repropose the vintage classic Nike Running colorway - “White/Varsity Royal/Varsity Red” – the trail-blazing designer completely redesigned the sneaker’s sole unit with her hallmark traits. Featuring multiple layers, a protruding heel, and an exposed Zoom Air system, this new revisitation will quickly become a coveted collector’s item for sneakerheads and beyond. Our raffle is now live, ending on Aug. 31 at 10:00 am.
