Nike Zoom Cortez SP sacai White University Red Blue

The Nike Cortez 40 Sacai White University Red Blue is a sneaker that came as a collaboration between the Japanese fashion brand Sacai and Nike. The Nike Cortez 40 Sacai in Red and Blue has double-stacked detailing, technical enhancements, and a blue color scheme. It has a sharply-lined midsole with an extended slab of foam on the heel and a puck-like exposed Zoom Air unit on the forefoot. The top half is a mixture of leather and suede. The sneaker features two swooshes, heel overlays, tongues, and a second collar, rising slightly above its counterpart. The Nike Cortez 40 Sacai White University Red Blue retailed at $160 upon its release date on the 31st of August, 2022. The sacai x Nike Zoom Cortez SP ‘OG’ celebrates the vintage running shoe’s 50th anniversary with a modern build conceived by Chitose Abe. The designer’s signature double-themed design makes a return on this pair, highlighted by a white nylon upper with a second collar and tongue finished in a contrasting navy hue. Crimson accents land on the retro leather Swoosh and dual-branded heel tab, partially obscured by stacked overlays in royal blue and grey suede. A hairy grey suede overlay atop the toe maintains the shoe’s vintage ‘70s aesthetic. The foam midsole is updated with a protruding heel piece and exposed Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot.
