Get ready to yell “Run, Forrest, run!” for the Nike Cortez Basic Leather OG “Forrest Gump” that dropped back in January 2019. This timeless model comes straight out of the 1994 film Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. The kicks were given to Forrest as a gift from his life-long love, Jenny; the reason he could run in the first place.

They feature a low-profile silhouette designed in vintage runner style upper made of White leather paired with a Varsity Red Nike Swoosh. More Red appears on the Nike branded heel counter and tongue branding. The White EVA foam midsole and herringbone rubber outsole carry a lovely Varsity Blue strip. The White tongue comes crafted from nylon. The Metallic Silver dubraes at the base of White laces complete the classic look. Ideal for runners, trainers, and everyday wear.
