<p>This sneaker has been updated for 2019, coming in even lighter despite the use of premium leather. This time around, Nike has ensured the Cortez is well cushioned so there is less impact on your feet.</p>

<p>This iconic shoe has most definitely become a lifestyle statement with its distinctive slim swoosh logo and herringbone-patterned soles.</p>
