This sneaker is perhaps the subtlest take on the Year of The Tiger design we have seen so far. Most sneaker brands came up with really bold and aggressive designs and colorways for their Tiger sneakers. This isn’t the case with the Nike “Year of the Tiger” Classic Cortez sneaker.

The Nike “Year of the Tiger” Classic Cortez is guaranteed to be a hit among fans of the Classic Cortez kicks. For one, the sneaker comes in a beautiful silk screened nylon upper with golden tiger stripes.

Golden horse hair is also used for the toe and the heel panel, keeping the sneaker looking for real. With golden horse hair for the Nike swoosh, no one would be able to say no to this sneaker, not even those who are scared of the Tiger.

Accent comes in the form of the minimal red strip on the collar, on the tongue and the Nike branding on the ankle. By the way, it is only the right shoe that comes with the red strip on the collar.

The Nike “Year of the Tiger” Classic Cortez sneaker will be released on a limited basis, with only 200 pairs to be produced worldwide. The sneaker will come in a special shoe box which will come with a five-finger grip opening much like the bowling ball. The box will also be embossed.
