Kendrick Lamar to Collab with Nike for Another Cortez Release

The popular line of the classic Nike Cortez shoes created in collaboration with rapper Kendrick Lamar is getting a fourth colorway. There are no official images released yet, but several rumors have been popping up that give us insight on what to expect.


The first three colorways featured basic pallets of red, white and black, but this shoe is reportedly highlighted by a mix of white, thunder blue, wolf grey and turf orange. It also makes a break from the previous releases by being a slip-on.


Each Kendrick Lamar x Nike Cortez colorway has been dropped during major events like Top Dawg Entertainment’s The Championship Tour, NBA All-Star Weekend and the 2018 Grammy Awards. Sneaker enthusiasts could find the shoes at select venues via SNKRS Stash.


There is no known event that the Nike Cortez “Basic Slip” colorway is associated with. Overseas retailers have indicated that it will drop on September 22 and sell for $100.
