The first Nike Cortez shoe was designed in the early 70s for track athletes. Lamar had been spotted rocking the shoes over the past few months.

According to Sole Collector, Lamar has rapped about his love for the Cortez before:

In his heralded “Control” verse, Kendrick famously proclaimed, “And I ain’t rockin’ no more designer sh*t, white tees and Nike Cortez, this red Corvette’s anonymous.”

There is still no official word or statement from Nike on the collaboration.
