The Nike Cortez continues to maintain its status as one of Nike’s most dependable lifestyle models. While the upcoming launch of the Forrest Gump Cortez will once again thrust it into the limelight, releases like the “Baltic Blue” edition offer readily available and consistently stylish seasonal choices.
The upper part of the shoe is predominantly immersed in the distinctive “Baltic Blue” hue, with “Team Gold” accents adding a faux-vintage touch to the midsole. This combination gives the shoes a distinctly tropical vibe overall, yet the addition of black and orange details on the Swoosh and branding tabs keeps them firmly grounded. The color palette makes them versatile enough to complement various sports team colors, from the Dolphins to the Giants to the Knicks. However, they also serve as an ideal summer footwear option, regardless of the occasion.
The Nike Cortez “Baltic Blue” is priced at $90 and is set for release in the summer of ’24.
