Nike Cortez Basic NylonCompton

Product Description

Celebrating the deep cultural roots of the silhouette in Southern California, the Nike Cortez Basic Nylon "Compton" is a masterclass in regional storytelling. Dressed in a stealthy Black/White-Metallic Gold palette, the shoe features a durable nylon upper with "Compton" embroidery on the heel, honoring the city that helped turn the 1972 runner into a street-style icon. Released on June 1, 2017, for $75, it sits on the signature "wedge" midsole and a waffle rubber outsole for heritage traction. Our team values the "Metallic Gold" hits; they provide a championship-level pop to the monochromatic black base, resulting in a design that is both historically rich and stylistically aggressive. It’s a durable masterpiece built for the street, representing the very core of the Cortez legacy and its status as a cultural benchmark.
