Nike Cortez Be True

Reimagine what it means to be you. Celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community, this fresh take on our boundary-pushing icon honors motion and fluidity. Vibrant, overlapping Swooshes energize your look, gradient coloring blurs the traditional rainbow design, and shimmering, silk-like material makes your style look effortless. A shoe you'll reach for again and again, it's bold and meant to be seen—just like you.

No Straight Lines

Reimagining the classic Cortez design, we've transformed the upper with flowing deco stitching and lines on the eyestays. And because almost none of the lines are straight, it's full of energy and movement.

A New Rainbow

Gradient coloring in the midsole reinvents the traditional rainbow design, blending colors together in a symbol of fluidity. The result: An all-encompassing and exciting look that's easy to style and wear 365 days a year.

Premium Materials

Soft, silk-like material on the upper moves with you, breaks in beautifully and adds a shimmer to your step while suede accents keep it classic.

Takeaway

The included gradient carabiner lets you carry what is meaningful to you about the LGBTQIA+ community.

Be True

Be True started in 2012 as a grassroots effort led by Nike employees in the PRIDE Network seeking to build a company culture diverse in orientation, identity and expression. Since then, Nike has taken action to support the LGBTQIA+ community, recognizing that inclusive spaces in sport create a better world for all. This year, Nike recognized 18 organizations advancing the LGBTQIA+ community and provided them with a total of $625,000 in donations.
