Nike Cortez X CLOT Black/White 2023

The Nike Cortez X CLOT Black/White has a 3-in-1 design inspired by a traditional kung fu shoe. These shoes were released in February 2023, and are ideal for those looking for a combination of aesthetics and utility. It features a black-and-white yin-yang theme, which is Edison Chen's reinterpreted take on the classic aesthetic. Based on the Cortez, this shoe has a white leather top with a black Swoosh that contrasts with it. The matching slip-on has a sleek matte black finish and a heel drawstring closure. With every step, a foam midsole fashioned like a wedge provides gentle cushioning. This limited-edition sneaker blends present-day materials with a traditional design. The outsole is composed of sturdy rubber for traction, while the midsole is composed of lightweight foam for support. There are mismatched tongue tags from Nike and CLOT visible on both shoes. Each rear tab has the Chinese characters '功' and '夫' meaning Kung Fu engraved on it. The tongue and heel tab bear CLOT branding, while the side is embroidered with the recognizable Swoosh logo.
