The running shoe that started a running empire is back with a midnight-blue motif and white branding on a premium build. The Nike Cortez Basic Leather 'Obsidian' was released mid-July 2019 with the same look and feel of the running sneaker from '72 developed by Swoosh co-founder and Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman. A full-leather iteration in two-toned detail, it nods to the original's top-quality construction and classic athletic contrast.
