As a tribute to the forthcoming Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) – the Mexican holiday to celebrate spiritual journeys of departed loved ones after life, Nike has released a new rendition of its Cortez silhouette. The Cortez Basic Premium QS has been decked-out in a Black/Black-Sail premium nylon and suede which features intricate designs of sugar skulls and marigold flowers that are synonymous with the holiday. The sneaker also boasts an orange and navy blue inner and Swoosh, with a white outsole, and bright orange accents rounding off the design.
The Nike Cortez Basic Premium QS “Day of the Dead” will be available on October 29 from Wish ATL, just in time for the Day of the Dead festivities.
