Nike Cortez Basic Nylon Compton – Jun 2017 – 902804-001

Description

The Nike Cortez Compton pays homage to the streetwear inspiration the running model has had on many barrios across the county, especially in Southern California. The Cortez was the go-to sneaker for the streets of Los Angeles during the 80s and 90s especially in the Latin American and hip-hop community. Decades later, the Cortez continues to have a strong influence on these communities and will continue to do so for the unforeseeable future. The Compton pair comes in a classic nylon and suede upper with Black taking care of the base and the White found on the leather heel tab, leather tongue and nylon tongue acting as the accented color. Compton branding is placed on the heel tab, while Gold CPT branding in Old English gives the shoe that street motif.
