Women's Nike Cortez trainers

The Nike Cortez is a super sleek running silhouette, which has grown to become a street style staple in recent years. After gaining fame in the movie Forrest Gump, the OG white, red, and blue Cortez was hailed as an instant classic, and was followed up by a variety of new colourways.

The Cortez made its debut in 1972, featuring retro style notes including an oversized Swoosh on the lateral side and serrated detailing across the upper and midsole. Contrasting colours also appear in a stripe across the midsole, which adds to the chic design of this sneaker.

Hip-hop icon Kendrick Lamar has also put his own stamp on the Cortez, releasing a collection of high heat designs in collaboration with the Swoosh Brand.

This year, Nike has modernised the Cortez with a range of women's exclusive renditions featuring metallic Swooshes. Nylon designs have also been unveiled, replacing the Cortez's signature leather upper.
