Source: 【ACROMOUNT SERIES】Noteworthy News: Archive Models of the 1970s Updated in Modern Style
Nike has updated the Cortez with its Move to Zero platform, but it has yet to place a modern spin on the Cortez. The 66 shoe that basically birth the Swoosh was redesigned for the 70s and now it has been updated for a modern appeal for the fashion centered. “The model, overseen by Creative Director Andrea Pompilio, is a contemporary design sneaker reborn for the modern age, inspired by Archive Models of the 1970s.”
For its part, the middle-cut ACROMOUNT MT has a beautiful slim form, creating an impression of refinement. Both shoes have the large Onitsuka Tiger stripe, lending them an outstanding sense of presence and contributing to a classical design accent.
From the functional perspective, a sole wide in the middle and tapering off at the toes (characteristic of track and field spikes of the 1970s) has been updated with lightweight sponge and rubber, creating an airy, comfortable feeling suited to contemporary lifestyles.
There is also the ACROMOUNT KNIT, with a combination of knit uppers and soles. A soft sensation envelops the entire foot, creating a satisfying sensation of fit that only knit offers. The upper-side line features a line used on training jackets of the 1970s; Andrea has fused elements of heritage and fashion into a single shoe reinterpreted for the modern age.
While this model is available in Onitsuka Stores in Japan, you can pick up a pair June 1, 2021.
