In 1972, Nike authored one of its biggest success stories by debuting the Nike Cortez at the Munich Olympic Games, jump-starting extreme consumer demand and charting a promising path for the track shoe turned lifestyle icon. Now that the model has made its way back to the mainline in recent years, a special “Olympic” colorway […]

A new sneaker isn’t completely street-valid until it passes the Triple Black test. In the case of the Air Max Plus Drift, Nike’s newest Sportswear model for 2024 passes with flying colors.
