Nike is paying homage to their early beginnings as they’ll be bringing back the Nike Cortez in the “Oregon” colorway. Nike’s ties to Oregon comes from Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight, co-founders of Nike, as Bowerman was the coach of the track team and Knight was a member of the team. This Nike Cortez comes covered in Oregon’s school team colors as we see Gorge Green covering the upper in a nylon and suede build while Yellow Ochre hits the leather Swooshes and heel tabs. Additional details include vintage Nike branding on the tongues and insoles, white embroidered Nike branding on the heels, and contrasting White detailing on the tongues, laces, inner liner, and the entire rubber sole unit. Fans of the Cortez can expect this “Oregon” colorway to release this summer for $90.
