The Nike Cortez “Black/Sail” is stepping back into the spotlight for Summer 2025, dressed to impress. This time, it trades its typical nylon for a plush combo of black nubuck and suede. That’s right—Nike put the nylon on vacation and brought out the good stuff.
Soft sail suede accents on the Swoosh, heel tab, and tongue tag add a crisp contrast that feels both retro and refined. The oversized Swoosh practically screams, “I’m timeless, and I know it.”
Underfoot, it keeps things classic with a white foam midsole and a black wedge insert. Meanwhile, the sawtooth outsole grips like a champ—just in case you need to chase down the ice cream truck. A metallic silver lace dubrae adds just enough bling without going full disco ball.
Whether you’re a longtime Cortez fan or new to the game, this “Black/Sail” edition offers that perfect mix of old-school cool and premium flair. It’s simple, stylish, and built to last.
The Nike Cortez “Black/Sail” releases in Summer 2025 for $100 at Nike.com and select stores.
