One of the most iconic silhouettes in Nike's rich footwear history is getting a slight makeover as NikeLab unveiled its upcoming 1972 Classic Cortez Big Tooth.
As the name indicates, Nike has reworked the Cortez's signature toothy, herringbone patterned outsole to incorporate a larger set of proportionally sized chompers. In addition, Nike also makes use of a neoprene upper coupled with suede hits and leather lining in a tonal package that results in a modern, luxurious take on a timeless classic that long time Cortez fans should truly appreciate. Considering how real the hype is with NikeLab releases, you'll want to be on top of your game when these drop July 9 on NikeLab and NikeLab retailers.
