Cortez "Forrest Gump"
The Nike Cortez, a beloved sneaker since the '70s, holds a special place in sneaker culture as one of Nike's earliest models. It's deeply intertwined with hip-hop through figures like Eazy-E and has even appeared in iconic moments like Whitney Houston's Superbowl performance. Among its many iterations, the USA-themed red, white, and blue pair, famously linked to "Forrest Gump," stands out. This particular Cortez gained fame from the movie scene where Tom Hanks' character receives them before his cross-country run. Now, in 2024, a special release of the Cortez is bringing back its original look with re-engineered tooling that make it even more comfortable to wear.
- Inspired by the ’72 original
- Leather upper softens and gains vintage character with wear
- Silver lace dubraes
- Wider toe area and firmer side panels help keep your foot in place
- Foam midsole with wedge insert delivers comfort
- Padded, low-cut collar looks sleek and feels great
- Herringbone outsole pattern pairs durable traction and heritage style
Size & Fit: True to size
