Nike comes up with sneakers sporting this look and material once in a blue moon. It is thus a joy to see the brand come out with something similar but entirely different.

Take a look at the Nike Cortez Leather SI sneaker and wait for its release by 2010. The Cortez model actually comes in several styles, usually made of nylon, but this one is the latest we have seen and it has caught our attention.

The Nike Cortez Leather SI sneaker comes in white leather upper including the Nike swoosh. It also sports a white tongue and white sole with accents of red or midnight blue on the sole, the heel tab and the tongue tag, depending on your choice of color.

The base of the laces is also in white and the swoosh is only actually noticed because of the perforations forming the swoosh. The midfoot area is padded, providing some detail to an otherwise simple sneaker.

You can wear the Nike Cortez Leather SI sneaker with a pair of 501s and white shirt and still look elegant.
