Nike Classic Cortez Forrest Gump (2024)

The Nike Classic Cortez Forrest Gump (2024) is a re-release of the classic Cortez sneaker worn by Tom Hanks' character in the Oscar-winning film Forrest Gump. The sneaker features an all-white upper made of leather with Varsity Red and Varsity Blue accents. The laces and the lace cage are also in clean white. The Swoosh logos on the side panels, the leather heel tab, and the Nike stitching on the tongue display Varsity Red, while a layer of foam on the midsole provides a stripe of Varsity Blue. The full-length foam midsole has a heritage wedge shape and protects against impact. The rubber outsole features a herringbone traction pattern, which grips the ground and adds a serrated element underfoot. The metallic silver hardware on the laces displays the Nike Swoosh logo. The Nike Classic Cortez Forrest Gump (2024) was released on May 8, 2024, and retailed at $110.
