The Nike Classic Cortez Velvet Femmes's Chaussure is Nike's original running Chaussure, designed by Bill Bowerman and released in 1972. This edition features a velvet upper for a premium look. it put unprecedented cushioning under the fastest feet in the running world and quickly became the most popular training Chaussure in the USA. It was an unmistakable icon-a walking billboard that told your story and declaRouge your affiliation-and came to thrive with fierce style on the streets of Los Angeles. Since then, no Chaussure has expanded the definition of a running Chaussure quite like the Nike Cortez.
