Nike’s iconic Cortez has undergone a bit of a change, with the American shoe giant announcing that a full ‘Flyleather’ edition will now be available to the public.<\/p>\n

But, what is Flyleather? It’s Nike’s\u00a0sustainable material that is\u00a0made with at least 50 percent\u00a0leather fibre.\u00a0The manufacturing process starts with Nike gathering all the off-cut leather scraps that come from their other products. Then they take synthetic fibres in roughly a 50\/50 split with the scrap leather, and in a high-pressure bonding process, the materials are fused.<\/p>\n

The result is improved durability and a lighter weight for the shoe, as is the case with the new Flyleather Cortez, which retails for\u00a0around $110 (around R1,500) a pair.<\/p>\n

Nike has also experimented with Flyleather editions of the Air Max and classic Tennis Classic, but the Cortez mark the first full-production range available to consumers.<\/p>\n

Nike isn’t the only company focusing on eco-friendly footwear, as Reebok recently unveiled their\u00a0<\/em>new plant-based footwear initiative!<\/a><\/p>\n
