NBA fans, get ready, as the Nike Cortez ‘Lakers’ emerges on the scene.
Holding weight in the sneaker scene since its debut in 1972, the Nike Cortez is widely considered a Swoosh grail. A recognisable style across streets all over the world – there’s one place in particular that the Nike Cortez has never gone out of style, and that’s Southern California. Luckily for the people that reside there, an upcoming Los Angeles Lakers-inspired iteration is en route.
We must note that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Swoosh pay homage to the Lakers. Previously delivering Jumpman entries like the Air Jordan 1 Mid and Dunk High, it only makes sense to continue the commemoration with another sneaker banger. Let’s take a look at the details!
Dressing the silhouette in the familiar hues of the legendary American basketball team, this Cortez proudly boasts hits of purple and yellow. Displayed atop an immaculately clean white base, the golden shade seamlessly enters within the midsole, tongue branding and insoles. Meanwhile, the purple floods the leather Swoosh and heel.
Although The Drop Date is yet to be confirmed, you can expect the Nike Cortez ‘Lakers’ (DM4044-106) to arrive around AUTUMN 2024. While we await the release, shop the latest from the Nike Cortez via the banner below!
