Jennifer Aniston, known for her iconic role as Rachel Green in Friends, continues to influence fashion trends. Recently, she drew inspiration from Farrah Fawcett’s 1976 skateboarding photo by sporting a pair of Nike Cortez trainers. An Instagram post by Jen showcased her new footwear, identical to the ones Farrah wore, featuring an all-white leather upper, a red swoosh and heel tab, and a blue stripe on the sole, available for purchase at £89.99.
The Nike Cortez trainers, an original design by Nike, maintain their retro silhouette and style, earning them a spot as a fashion staple. Besides Jennifer Aniston, stylish celebrities like Bella Hadid and Alexa Chung have also been spotted donning these classic trainers. Originally designed as running shoes, the Cortez trainers offer comfort and support with a soft midsole and flexible detailing for various activities.
According to Nike, the Cortez trainers tend to run small, recommending customers to opt for at least a half size larger for a perfect fit. These trainers are available in sizes ranging from 2.5 to 9.5. Apart from Nike’s Cortez trainers, other retro styles making a comeback include the adidas Originals Gazelle Indoor trainers from the 90s and the Reebok Club C 85 in White & Green from the 80s.
Reviews for the Nike Cortez trainers highlight their comfort and style, with some customers suggesting going up half a size due to the small fit. The trainers have received a 4.8-star rating on the Nike website, with customers reminiscing about the nostalgia and style they bring. Additionally, the resurgence of retro styles in footwear has been evident, with classic designs gaining popularity among fashion enthusiasts.
