Everything you need to know about the Nike Cortez.
<p>It’s pretty obvious that sneakers with a great story behind it live forever.</p>
<p>The Nike Cortez is one such sneaker with an amazing backstory that has lasted for over 46 years.</p>
<p>Before coming into existence as the Nike Coretz, there was a previous chapter to the story of this sneaker.</p>
<p>The American track and field coach Bill Bowerman, who later became a co-founder of Nike , worked on a running shoe named TG-24 together with the Japanese footwear company Onitsuka Tiger (Asics). In August of 1966, Bowerman ordered 300 pairs of the “TG-24 shoe designed by Bill Bowerman w/Mexico Line” (this was the name of the shoe lol) to be distributed in the US. The shoe contained everything that a runner at that time was looking for and it went on to become one of the best selling runners if that year.</p>
