The cacao wow Nike Cortez refreshes the classic low-top with leather uppers and different textures on top of a mixed midsole with variations on the heel tabs and a mesh tongue. It features smooth sail leather across the quarter panel and eyestays, while cacao wow leather overlays form the Swoosh and wrap around the heel. Khaki heel tabs with embossed Nike logos add a unique touch. The breathable mesh lining in the tongue and collar, combined with EVA foam midsoles, offers added cushioning. The rubber outsoles are designed with a herringbone tread pattern for grip on varied surfaces, all tracing back to Bill Bowerman’s 1972 design for lightweight running shoes. This model includes an EVA midsole with a signature wedge insert for reliable support and consistent traction on various surfaces.
