The Nike Cortez Union LA Lemon Frost features a light purple and red striped, woven construction referencing Mexican sarape blankets and their presence in Southern California. Light brown suede overlays and bright yellow Swooshes frame the woven material, adding durability. At the base, a speckled sole containing recycled materials offers traction and support. The Union LA x Nike Cortez SP ‘Lemon Frost’ reimagines the heritage silhouette in honor of its 50th anniversary. Inspired by the cultural diversity of Los Angeles, the low-top sports a patchwork upper that blends tan suede with woven textile underlays in lavender and hot pink. Bright yellow accents enliven the shoe’s branding elements, including a retro suede Swoosh, Union tongue tag, and a foldover heel tab displaying the retailer’s Frontman logo. A speckled Crater foam midsole is underpinned by a herringbone-traction rubber outsole composed of 10% Nike Grind.
