The coveted Union LA x Nike Cortez collaboration is coming to the SNKRS app soon.
The sportswear giant and the famed retailer have teamed up to celebrate the Cortez’s 50th anniversary, giving the iconic sneaker a look described as “an expression of Los Angeles’ cultural diversity.”
The shoe features woven textile underlays, thick suede overlays, and rubberized toe caps that Nike says “pay homage to the vibrancy of Angelenos and the rich history the icon has in the city.” Additionally, this iteration is executed with durability-focused Crater Foam midsoles and Nike Grind outsoles, both of which are made with at least 10% Nike Grind.
The LA x Nike Cortez Union arrives via SNKRS on June 28 at 10 a.m. ET. It will cost $130.

Longtime collaborators Union Los Angeles and Nike have a new sneaker project in the works.
After delivering three new dip low styles in March, product images have now emerged of the global shoe store and the sportswear giant’s upcoming Cortez collab Courtesy of @Solelinks on Twitter.
A first look at the Union LA x Nike Cortez surfaced on social media in December 2021, which revealed the shoe features a deconstructed look on the upper and comes dressed in a predominantly Brown shade. To break up the look, red hits cover the Swoosh branding along with multi-colored stripe detailing to the sides. The design is completed with multi-colored laces, a “UN/LA” tag on the eyepiece, red heel tab, brown foam midsole and matching rubber outsole.

In addition to the upcoming collaboration with Cortez, Union also teamed up with Nike subsidiary Jordan Brand in April to deliver two new Air Jordan 2 collaborations.
