Nike Classic Cortez Kenny Moore Broken Foot

Description

As the Nike Cortez celebrated its 45th Anniversary in 2017, Nike payed homage to Bill Bowerman’s first product test, Kenny Moore with a special collection. Known as the « Broken Foot » edition, this Nike Classic Cortez draws inspiration from the blue sneaker Moore broke his right foot in while running in 1985. This prompted Bowerman to rip the sneaker apart and construct a new model, one built for his standards with superior cushioning and support. Coming in a varsity royal and sail colorway, this pair sports a full premium suede upper with a nylon tongue, leather Swoosh on the sides, debossed heel branding and a custom printed sockliner of Moore’s X-ray from his fracture. Their release date was August 25th, 2017. They retailed for $100 and were available exclusively in men’s sizing. Another must-have Nike Cortez, this pair gives a whole new meaning to the phrase « blue suede shoes. » If you’re interested in adding a pair to your collection, hit up the marketplace and buy them. Those who have a pair to sell can do so online as well.
