Rumour has it that Nike co-founder Phil Knight’s finest selling memoir will be getting its own sneaker collection, aptly dubbed ‘Shoe Dog’. According to sneaker insiders @pyleaks as well as @spicychickenwings, the pack will develop on the famous Cortez – a silhouette that has played a big part in the Beaverton brand’s history.

Comprising of three sneakers, they are all painted in a red, white, as well as blue colour schemes as well as feature Carolyn Davidson’s original skinny Swoosh, a streamlined Peregrine Falcon logo, as well as a dimension six moon motif. If you’re wondering what the relevance of the last two are, they’re actually alternate brand names that Knight as well as Nike’s other co-founder Bill Bowerman sugg ested, before they settled on what is probably the most famous brand name in the world.

In terms of materials, it appears like the shoes will be crafted from ultra clean leather with the famous ridged midsole beneath in rubber, providing the shoes a tastefully old institution aesthetic that’s sure to turn heads.

At this moment in time, the Swoosh have yet to officially verify the Nike Cortez ‘Shoe Dog’ collection, however they’re expected to hit merchants in July! let us understand which pair you’d add to your everyday rotation, and while you’re here, be sure to take a look at the full Nike sneaker range!
