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 leather upper with Varsity Red and Varsity Blue accents. The laces and lace cage are also white. The Swoosh logos on the side panels, the leather heel tab, and the NIKE stitching on the tongue are in Varsity Red, while a layer of foam on the midsole provides a stripe of Varsity Blue.
