The Nike Cortez has been around since 1972, which officially cements its status as a retro street style staple.
First arriving as a running shoe, this sleek silhouette is complete with a serrated outsole and oversized Swoosh branding.
The OG red, white and blue Cortez was so iconic that it was rewarded with a feature in legendary '90s movie Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks.
Although Nike's classic colourways are still highly sought after, the brand's range of exciting women's exclusive designs certainly shouldn't be slept on.
