The historic “Oregon” colorway of the influential Nike Cortez silhouette is set to make a comeback this year.
Crafted with nylon uppers and suede overlays, the upcoming model pays homage to Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman’s 24-year tenure as the track and field coach of the University of Oregon. The dual-toned shoe features the Oregon Ducks’ green and yellow school colors, with the former serving as the base and the latter landing on the leather panel swoosh and heel.
Additional branding details can be found on the tongue tag, insoles and embroidered heel logo — all of which feature the classic cursive Nike emblem. The sneaker rests on a yellow-streaked white midsole and and outsole, while white laces with silver dubraes tie the shoe together for a clean finish.
Check out the iteration above. The Nike Cortez “Oregon” is set to release this Summer via Nike and select retailers for a retail price of $90 USD.
