Over 40 years ago, it was born. It helped to launch a brand while establishing instant credibility in an athletic shoe market that was in its infancy. “It” was the Nike Cortez, one of Nike’s most iconic shoes. Conceived and created by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman in 1972, the Cortez was a revolutionary innovation for running shoes and would be the catalyst for Nike’s meteoric rise to the top of the athletic shoe market.

For this special release, the Cortez takes a flight to the islands of Hawaii, where bright, vibrant colors shine and beautiful flowers bloom. These influences are readily apparent throughout the collection, with floral printed nylon complementing the solid suede colors. It’s a stunning update to an iconic style, and will have you dreaming of the warm Pacific Ocean and luaus on the beach.

Whether on the street or the track, the Classic Cortez Nylon Aloha Graphic Pack is—in proper Hawaiian style—the best way to say both “hello” and “goodbye.” Grab your favorite pair from the Nike Sportswear Classic Cortez Aloha Pack when it’s released this Saturday, May 18.

Good news, sneaker fans: the latest Nike x Liberty of London collection hit the streets this week. Nike’s design partnership with Liberty of London celebrates the legacy and evolution of Nike’s running innovations over four decades of style. In this collection, four legendary Nike shoes have been remixed with iconic Liberty prints for a fresh take on classic styles.

Flex grooves on the outsole enhance flexibility and the seam-free upper conforms to your foot shape for comfort—crucial in a shoe you’re going to want to wear all the time.

On Sunday, 15,000 women will run the first-ever Nike Women Half Marathon DC in our nation’s capital, and a collection of special Nike running styles is here to help commemorate the event.

The Nike Soft Hand Women’s Running Hoodie combines the softness of your favorite tee with the coverage of a cozy hoodie and the sweat-wicking power of Dri-FIT fabric. The hood, thumbholes and fold-over cuffs offer extra coverage during chilly runs. For handy storage, there’s also a zip pocket on the back right hip.

The Nike Racer Women’s Running Tank Top is another collection highlight. Available in Ice Blue and Anthracite, this tank boasts a bold graphic and a fit designed for comfort. Sweat-wicking fabric helps keep you dry from start to finish, and the scoop neck, racerback and wide armholes offer freedom to move while you run.

The collection also features select running gear, shoes, capris and more—everything you need to celebrate this weekend’s race or train for your next one.

NIKE WOMEN HALF MARATHON DC COLLECTION

At last, it’s time to shed the cool-weather garb in favor of lightweight layers to take you through the sunniest season in style. For inspiration, look no further than our latest Looks, featuring head-to-toe outfits for running, training and whatever else summer brings your way.

A great way to refresh your running wardrobe is to build it around the Nike Rival Stretch Woven Running Skirt. Worn over compression shorts, it offers coverage in an adjustable fit that won’t hold you back. A racerback tank designed for freedom of movement is the perfect complement.

The Nike Relay Print Capris are ideal for those who like a little more coverage during a workout. The flattering, flat waistband and flat seams lend comfort and the bold print takes the look way beyond basic. They’re also made with sweat-wicking fabric to help keep you cool and comfortable when your workout heats up.

The slim-fitting, super-lightweight Nike Dri-FIT Touch Harmony Tee was tailor-made for hot days. Dri-FIT Touch fabric feels natural, wicks sweat and lets a fun print sports bra peek through.

For a sport-inspired casual look, the Nike Summerized Half-Zip Jacket and Nike Sunset Leggings fit the bill. A bungee cord and toggle on the jacket let you adjust the fit, and a fade print on the leggings adds bold style for a look that goes anywhere.

NIKE SUMMER LOOKS

London. Milan. New York City. Paris. Tokyo. Five world-class cities, five unique expressions of style. The Nike Dunk Sky Hi City Pack features five iterations of the classic Nike Dunk, with a pair influenced by and representative of the trends of each city.

For fans of 1970s punk, the Union Jack, and everything else British, the Nike Dunk Sky Hi London captures the rebellious attitude of England’s most famous city. With a vibrant red plaid upper and a green patent leather Swoosh, you’ll feel like you’re strutting down Regent Street. Keep calm and carry on, indeed.

If you start your day off with a cappuccino, you’ll love the Nike Dunk Sky Hi Milan. Italians are known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail, and this shoe is no different. Pay special attention to the crocodile embossed leather upper, buttery tan leather panels and gold embellishments.

Have a New York state of mind? Rock the all-black-everything attitude of the Nike Dunk Sky Hi New York. With an eye-catching metallic reptilian upper, luxurious black pony hair quarter panels and a patent leather Swoosh, this shoe, like the city that inspired it, has just the right amount of edge.

Paris. The City of Light. The grit of a centuries-old city meets a delicate feminine aesthetic in the Nike Dunk Sky Hi Paris. A light, pale-based tweed pattern is complemented with supple white leather – a striking, beautiful contrast of styles, just like the city itself.

And then there’s Tokyo. A city unlike any other, driven by the latest high tech gadgetry, yet built upon centuries of deliberate Japanese customs and tradition. This dichotomy of old versus new is manifested in the Nike Dunk Sky Hi Tokyo, with the iridescent, jaw-dropping futuristic details weaving their way through fine, felted beige material.

The Nike Dunk Sky Hi City Pack captures the individual sensibilities of these five great cities and distills them down into a pair of  shoes that pays homage to its inspiration, while elevating your personal style to new heights. Which city best reflects your style?
