Born in 1972, during the brand's second official year under the Nike name, the is officially 45 years old – but not a day out of style. We can expect some impressive anniversary make-ups to hit the classic this year, the first of which is a tribute to Long Beach, California.
A West Coast staple since its debut, the sneaker has continually proved a favourite out on the streets of Long Beach – especially on the feet of LB local Snoop Dogg – making it a fitting location to receive its own Cortez. This limited edition make-up features a basic nylon upper, dyed a regal blue for the city. Crisp white hits and accents of gold keep things clean, while the heel is adorned with a proud and loud shoutout to the Aquatic Capital of America.
The Nike Cortez XLV 'Long Beach' will be available June 1 through and select Nike stockists.
