The Union LA x Nike Cortez SP ‘Grain’ celebrates the silhouette’s 50th anniversary with a revamped design inspired by the people and communities of Los Angeles. The low-top sports a mixed-material upper, highlighted by a striped woven textile base with peach-colored suede overlays and a pink suede Swoosh. Unique branding elements include a gold ‘UN/LA’ tag affixed to the lateral eyestay, a Frontman logo stamped on the fold-over heel tab, and a repeating ‘Union’ wordmark printed on the cork insole. The sneaker rests on a speckled Crater Foam midsole, reinforced underfoot by a herringbone-traction outsole made with Nike Grind
