Nike and UNION LA team up on another iteration to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Cortez, reimagining it as an expression of Los Angeles’s cultural diversity – this time in colours of the rainbow!

Subtle yet impactful updates like its woven textile underlays, thick suede overlays and rubberised toe pay tribute to the vibrancy of Angelenos and the rich history the icon has within the city. Meanwhile, the Crater Foam midsole and Nike Grind outsole both deliver a fresh lens for the modern generation as the overall look keeps you rooted to the original from ’72.
