There only a handful of truly iconic sneaker-meets-silver screen moments, and Tom Hanks’ portrayal of the luckiest accidental hero and historical figure chiseled the Cortez running shoe into the modern day fabric of popular culture.
If you recall, Forrest received the shoes from his long-time friend Jenny. Faced with yet another abandonment by his childhood pal, Gump went on a light jog that took him from coast to coast as he greeted both the Atlantic and Pacific and several onlookers on the way.
The Cortez is the brand’s first-ever track shoe designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, but it later became a significant piece of street fashion in Los Angeles for its clean style and low price. Nike continues to keep the shoe relatively affordable with its $90 price-tag, and thankfully its most iconic white/red/royal iteration commonly associated with Gump is back in action this Summer.
