Bill Bowerman’s timeless runner, in its most understated finish.
Since the 1970s
A Bowerman icon, blacked out.
Created by Bill Bowerman in the 1970s, the Cortez won runners and fashion alike with its lightweight build, cushioned midsole and improved traction. Through iterations and collaborations it has evolved without losing its sleek silhouette, distinctive Swoosh and street appeal — here in a clean Triple Black.
Fifty years on, still effortless.
