CORTEZ CLOT CLOTEZ

Recommend half or one size up. Nike CORTEZ is released back in 1972 Summer Olympics and is the first track shoe made by Nike. Co-founder Bill Bowerman determine to design a comfortable and durable running shoe, so he implemented leather upper, foam midsole and rubber outsole into the design. Cortez is soon adapted by the public and the feature of 1994 film made its popularity to its peak. A transformable, 3-in-1 design, the CLOT x Nike CLOTEZ embodies Yin and Yang in two main ways. Alongside echoing the black-on-white duality, the model features the very symbol across its drawstring fastener. References to Kung Fu are equally overt, with the characters that represent the art embroidered onto the heel. The collaboration can be worn as is or separated into two separate pieces: one is meant for the indoors, boasting a design much closer to the original Cortez; the other, a slip-on, draws more direct cues from Kung Fu shoes.
