Over the past 20 years, the Cortez silhouette has been redesigned several times. Leather was first used to construct the runners, however Bowerman soon realized that changing the material of the shoe's upper to nylon or suede could greatly reduce the weight of the shoe. In 2009, a new design of the nike cortez womens red - the Cortez Fly Motion -debuted. The Cortez Fly Motion instituted FlyWire: Nike’s lightweight thread made of Vectran stabilizing the upper of the shoe, further reducing the weight.
Since its release in 1972, no shoe has expanded the definition of a running shoe quite like the nike cortez pink and gold. Appearing on the silver-screen, the Cortez’s can be seen in Ernest R. Dickinson’s cult classic Juice, on the feet of George Costanza in episodes of Seinfeld, and who could forget that time Forrest Gump ran across the whole of America in a magic pair of Nike Cortez, just because he felt like running? With such a rich history and classic look, the Nike Cortez is a timeless running-inspired profile that is here to stay.
The nike cortez white and black had to begin with been sold alongside Onitsuka Tiger products, but now Blue Ribbon had inspirations to create their own brand and so Nike was formed. After a legal case it was decided that Nike would market the shoe as the Cortez, whilst Onitsuka Tiger would produce the trainer under the name Corsair. Released at the height of 1972 Munich Olympics, the Cortez was favoured by US competitors and this attention from professional athletes has been accredited with Nike’s early success as a company.
Over the years, the nike cortez blue and pink has undergone many design changes and been released in a number of materials such as leather and suede as well as the original nylon. The key to the comfort of the shoe lies in the sole, the thick rubber sole was made for durability and the raised heel helped reduce injuries such as Achilles tendon strains.
