The Nike Cortez has long been considered a West Coast shoe, a connection that Nike will mine with its latest campaign around the retro model. Releasing on June 1 are these two special California colorways, one tied to Compton and one tied to Long Beach.

Both pairs have embroidery on the heel and writing on the heeltab referencing the connected locations.

These two Cortezes will be available here and here via Nike SNKRS at 10 a.m. EST on June 1.

Nike's other efforts around this shoe at the moment include an Oregon colorway tied to the brand's home state and a photo of Nike-signed model Bella Hadid recreating Farrah Fawcett's vintage shot in the shoes.
