Could this be sacai's next big hit?
After a previous teaser seen earlier this year, the sacai x Nike Cortez has received a closer look as unofficial images come to light of the rumoured collaboration.
With the incoming 50th anniversary of the Nike Cortez, it is heavily expected that Chitose Abe’s sacai brand will be celebrating this with their own version of the timeless sneaker. Redesigning the classic L.A. silhouette, sacai looked to have reimagined the traditional white, blue, and red colourway of 1972 and given it a typically sacai makeover. The shoe’s upper sees a white leather base being layered with the traditionally red Nike emblem, whilst blue and grey accents on the heel and lacing compartment complete the colour palette. Sacai’s traditional stacked details make their customary appearance, while a unique use of the Zoom Air bubble unit is seen towards the front of the sneaker’s sole, firmly setting this sneaker apart from Nike Cortez designs of the past.
Check out rumoured images of the collaborative sneaker below, which is expected to drop at some point this year.
