The Nike Cortez is Nike's oldest running shoe, still made in its 1972 shape: a low, narrow profile with a wedge midsole and a herringbone outsole. This version swaps the usual leather for nubuck with suede trim, which gives it a softer, more textured look than the standard leather Cortez. It suits people who want a retro sneaker that reads a little dressier than a canvas or mesh trainer. Against rivals like the Adidas Samba or Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, the Cortez has a thicker, softer midsole and a wider toe box, but it is heavier and less grippy on wet pavement.
