Nike Cortez, I Love You

I think one of the best things you can add to an outfit is a solid pair of sneakers. In my closet, sneakers have basically become a neutral. They go with everything, provide interesting contrast, and give any outfit an extra bit of edge.

There’s something to be said about the contrast between a lovely dress and a worn-in sneaker. Throwing on a pair of these makes you equally ready for brunch or for a multi-mile walk. Gotta love a shoe with versatility!

I recently rediscovered my old pair of Nike Cortez, and it’s reminded me of how much I love these shoes. I know that everyone is all about the Adidas Samba at the moment, and while those are timeless as well, there’s nothing like the funky silhouette of this Nike classic. They are truly some of my most comfortable and versatile sneakers.

I feel like I’ve worn these shoes with everything over the years, but lately I’ve been loving wearing them like this. Toned down, back to basics, just letting the shoe take center stage.
