Where to Buy the Nike Cortez “Summit White”

Nike Cortez "Summit White/Muslin/Gum" | Nike

While certainly not reaching the heights of the Air Jordan 1 or the Dunk, the Nike Cortez is starting to become a common platform for innovation in Beaverton.

Having already established a significant niche in the lifestyle market, we’re witnessing designs like the Satin Cortez that debuted in June, alongside a series of textured “Vintage Suede” releases, which includes the “Summit White” variant highlighted here.

Long-haired suede takes the spotlight in this design, a significant shift from the typical nylon material that usually characterizes the Cortez, or even from variants using leather or nubuck.

To maintain a sense of familiarity in the overall silhouette, a traditionally neutral color scheme acts as a perfect counterbalance. Bone “Summit White” envelops that plush fabric, while crisp white accents the shoe’s midsole and deep black flows from the Swoosh to the heel.

Completing the design, an earthy “Gum Medium Brown” sole acts as a visual anchor at the very base of the shoe. As winter draws near, currently trending vintage runners might be too light to withstand the elements, but a fortified version like this could pave the way for the Cortez to remain part of your cold-weather lineup.

The Nike Cortez “Summit White” is now available on Nike.com in women’s sizes, priced at $100.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
