The Nike Cortez “Light Crimson” Brings Bold Retro Heat for Summer 2025
This season is looking bright—literally—as Nike unveils this women’s exclusive. This isn’t your average throwback. It’s a fiery suede remix with enough red to make stop signs jealous.
Swapping the usual white leather for vibrant crimson suede, this Cortez is bold and unapologetic. The large white Swoosh? Still here and still flexing. Classic blue accents pop along the midsole, throwing it back to the OG colorway with a modern twist. And yes, the herringbone outsole is still ready for action—retro vibes with extra grip.
The Cortez has always balanced sporty style with laid-back cool. This colorway doubles down on that magic formula, delivering vintage DNA with a punch of attitude. Whether you’re running errands or running the world, these sneakers have flair to spare.
Expect the Nike Cortez “Light Crimson” to launch on July 20, 2025. It’ll be available on Nike.com and at select retailers. Don’t sleep—these are red hot.
