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.

The Nike Cortez is definitely making a comeback this approaching Spring, as another colorway has surfaced for our viewing pleasure. The Nike Sportswear Classic Cortez Nylon comes in a pine green/white-vibrant yellow colorway. This Oakland A’s-esque shoe uses a pine green nylon and suede upper, along with a white leather swoosh to match the inner lining, laces, and white and vibrant yellow sole. Vibrant yellow is also placed on the Nike logo on the back panel to finish off this clean colorway. It’s set to release in February 2010, so please be patient.
