True to size with a catch

Cortez SP’s bohemian aesthetics

While a number pooled that Union Cortez has “too much colors” for their taste or there’s “too much going on” in its design, a considerable number of sneakerheads still think that “the color blocking is a hit.” They appreciate how “creativity and character were infused back into sneakers” with this collaboration.

Out of the four vibrant colorways of Cortez SP, its Sesame bred specifically provides a strong association to Union x Jordan 4’s Guava Ice.
