Cortez

An icon of running shoes, which has been gaining beauty for generations, with all the nostalgia that goes with it. The first 'modern' running shoe in which designer and co-founder of the brand Bill Bowerman set a goal to create the lightest sneakers. He relied on the aesthetics of Onitsuka Tg 24 and set himself the task of making it easier for athletes to run long distances. Thanks to the strong rubber sole, they can resist kilometres and different surfaces. The sports shoe has become a casual sneaker that strikes the sunny streets of LA. It played in Forest Gump and the original Charlie's angels (Senorita Cortez). Over the years, it has appeared in many variations of materials - leather, suede or nylon. And, of course, the various colourways and tribute-giving adjustments referring to the pop-cultural milestones that the Cortez themselves are.
