Kendrick Lamar and Nike are at it again. The new Nike Cortez Basic Slip Kendrick Lamar White sneakers from the Nike Cortez line are a fresh take on Nike’s retro models and have very little in common with previous Nike Cortez sneakers.
Instead, you’ll notice similarities between the Nike Cortez Basic and the Nike retro shoes. The thin orange accents on the midsole, the tongue, the upper, and the sole are eye-catching. There’s also a blue Nike Swoosh and accents in the form of gray suede overlays across different parts of the shoe.
A bit of blue can be noticed on the logo and on the heel. The slip-on design makes a lot of sense given the shape and the colorway. Finally, the absence of laces helps bring all the pieces together without making the design seem overly complicated.
The Nike Cortez Basic Slip Kendrick Lamar White was launched with an original retail price of $100 which makes it one of the more affordable non-leather new releases. These shoes look amazing with any type of jeans and they’re slowly increasing in value. If you want yours now, strike the iron while it’s hot.
