Nike Classic Cortez Kenny Moore Track Spike

Description

This Nike Classic Cortez was designed to pay homage to Bill Bowerman’s first product tester, Kenny Moore. Nicknamed the “Track Spike” edition, this pair comes in an off white, sail and terra orange colorway. They draw inspiration from one of the first prototypes produced by Bowerman, predating the Swoosh. The sneaker features an off white leather upper with debossed branding on the heel, a suede tongue, orange accents and a sail colored sole. Details include: “MOORE” written on the lateral sides, a Swoosh on the medial sides and signed, custom printed insoles featuring old track and field training schedules. Bowerman’s training regimens featured on the sockliners pay homage to the early days of Moore’s product testing of what would eventually turn into the Nike Cortez. It was during that time that he would win two events at a 1965 conference championship. Their release date was August 25th, 2017 where they retailed for $100 in men’s sizes only. Nike Cortez fans need to have this pair in their collection. A true piece of Nike history. If you have a pair, hit up the marketplace and see what they are currently going for online. It might be a good time to invest and buy a new pair or, sell the one(s) you have.
