Nike's Got More Classic Cortez Releasing Soon

More leather looks for the timeless Swoosh runner.

Nike turned heads this week by announcing the return of the Nike Cortez in the "Forrest Gump" colorway made famous by the movie of the same name.

The good news is that the retro treatment for the shoe in 2015 won't be limited to just that version of the shoe. Also on the way, as soon as this weekend at certain retailers, are these additional leather looks that are less colorful. The two pairs go straight black and white, and more or less are the inverse of each other in their values. Cortez haven't been terribly hard to come by in recent years, but leather looks like this have been somewhat sparse.

Footpatrol is one of the stores that will release this trio of Nike Cortez on Saturday, Feb. 28.
