The Nike Cortez, officially released in 1972, is many things: a shining example of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman's drive to better equipment for runners, and the first Nike shoe to offer visible technology and an endearing pop culture icon.

Over the years, the shoe has propelled champion runners, graced both small and silver screens, and has become a staple of west coast hip-hop street style.
As the Cortez marks its 45-year journey in the footwear scene, Nike is set to drop one new colorway and two rereleases we're already drooling over. Check them out!
