As far as colors go, Nike keeps it as simple as possible when it comes to this colorway of the Nike Cortez. Where this pair stands out from the crowd is the materials. This offering of the Nike Cortez gets engulfed in black all over the upper as we see a tumbled leather cover the majority of the sneaker with tonal detailing on the tongues, laces, and inner liner. For contrast we see Sail on the leather Swooshes and heel tabs along with black branding on the heel tabs and tongues. Down below we see an Alabaster rubber sole unit to provide a vintage look to the sneaker.
