The Nike Cortez is making a definite classic comeback, especially with the October release of the Nike Classic Cortez Leather SI. The Classic Cortez sports full white leather uppers in two colorways: white/midnight navy and white/red. Both use perforated swooshes to keep with what’s popular, and a patterned cut around the lace area. The tongue tag, heel panel, and midsole are decked out in the respective contrasting colors to make these pairs anything but plain. Jump back in time with these babies, as they’re out this month.

Once again, Onitsuka Tiger takes some classic flavor and puts a modern touch on it. The latest project is the Onitsuka Tiger Tsunahiki, which comes in a black/black colorway. The Tsunahiki combines black leather and nubuck on the upper to create a Chukka-style shoe with a moccasin feel. The black outsole was taken from Onitsuka’s Tug of War model from 1982.  Red accents are found on the tongue tag and stitching, which nicely adds some flavor to the dark shoe. It’s available now for almost $150 online overseas.

It looks like Christmas came early with the latest releases of the Nike Sweet Classic. For the month of September, two similar colorways of the Nike Sweet Classic Leather have released: white/varsity red and white/pine green. The two shoes are exact in every way, except for the color. Although both have white perforated leather uppers, they differ in having varsity red and pine green. The varsity red pair features a red leather swoosh and red accents throughout the shoe, while the other follows suit in pine green. These are definitely some clean pairs of shoes which also remind us of the red and green colors of Christmas. The Nike Sweets are available now from $69-$74, depending on size.

The Hugo by Hugo Boss brand is known to many, if not most, of the world for its mark on the fashion world. But that mark has rarely been molded by the brand’s sneaker experimentation. Perhaps it is about time for that to change. SneakerFiles brings you news of Hugo by Hugo Boss designing the high-top sneaker pictured here, which is sure to catch the eye of anyone- sneakerhead or not. It is composed of black premium leather material and even includes a stylish zipper that reaches from the top of the tongue to the beginning of the toe box, although it doesn’t completely replace the shoelaces that still come with the shoe. These are now available at select Hugo Boss retailers.
