The Union x Nike Cortez ‘Beige’ (DR1413-200) has been given an almost complete remodel and makeover by Union LA, giving it a more contemporary look and futuristic, somewhat dystopian design. Instead of the classic leather, suede panels cover a multi-coloured canvas base, with patched eye-stays and textured front and back-end caps giving it a rugged vibe, as do the pock-marked midsole and speckled outsole. The pink laces, Swoosh, tongue label and heel tab blend well with the over-all light tan colorway. Union branding can be seen on the heel, forefoot, tongue, and cork insole.
