<\/p>\n To celebrate the choice of the Cortez as the sneaker to represent the Year of the Tiger, Nike Sportswear<\/strong> partnered up with its ad agency Wieden + Kennedy in Shanghai to put together a series of painting tracing the evolution of the Cortez.<\/p>\n The Cortez was first introduced in 1975 in a nylon build, then came in leather a year later, and was left largely untouched for more than 30 years. The 2009 Cortez Flymotion<\/strong> revived the silhouette before 2010’s Chinese New Year was paid tribute with a special edition sneaker. Also be sure to check out the video of the artists painting the numerous pieces at Nike.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n |
