Each year, sneakerheads look forward to Nike and Jordan Brand’s collaborations with Union, and this year, the sneaker boutique refuses to disappoint. After dropping a trio of travel-inspired Dunks and a full Air Jordan 2 collection, Union is bringing more heat with its own version of the Nike Cortez.
While the Cortez isn’t as hyped as Union’s past offerings, its silhouette is an important part of Los Angeles’ sneaker culture, connecting the model to the Los Angeles-based sneaker boutique. Launched in 1972, the Cortez also celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, making this collaboration especially memorable. Like Union’s previous partnerships, multiple iterations of the shoe are expected to launch, although only one has received official imagery so far.
