In continuing with their tradition of releasing Chinese Zodiac-based kicks, Nike has released a Nike Cortez commemorating the Year of the Tiger, following the sacai x Nike Blazer Low Medium Green Grey of the same motif. Inspired by the white tiger, this special edition of the Nike Cortez embodies what the tiger represents: Fearlessness, rebellion, and passion. The nylon upper features two-toned white tiger stripes, and the heel, toe, and swoosh are fashioned with pony hair to give these Year of the Tiger Nike Cortez a feral yet angelic look. On the insole is a printed date of the Chinese New Year, which falls on the fourteenth of February, and an embossed BaZi emblem with a centered Chinese character for “Tiger” on the tongue. These will hit Nike Sportswear retailers in the upcoming months so stay tuned to Urlfreeze News for more info. via Freshnessmag.
