Even though the Cortez's massive 50th anniversary was this year, it looks like the birthday celebrations are set to continue all the way into 2023. After checking out the "Earth" and "Running Rabbit" earlier this week, we're now taking our very first look at the Nike Cortez "Sail Lucky Green." Destined to be a future classic, make sure you read on to find out everything that we know so far, including potential release information and pricing details.
Boasting a crisp sail upper, this Cortez is crafted predominantly from smooth leather while buttery suede wraps around the toebox, lacing system, and heel. Towards the lateral and medial side panels, you'll find a bold lucky green Swoosh that's sure to turn heads wherever you go. This lush hue extends towards the heel badge, where "Nike" is finely debossed in upper case. Underfoot, you'll find the classic midsole that's dipped in pale vanilla and black. This is then lined with a gum rubber outsole that offers unrivaled traction even after five decades.
Releasing in Spring 2023, the Nike Cortez Sail Lucky Green will drop in men's sizes via Nike and select retailers online and in physical locations, with a retail price set at $100. As you might have already guessed, more colorways are rumored to launch very soon, so make sure you follow Sole Retriever on Twitter and download ourMobile App to find out everything that you need to know and more!
