Bill Bowerman worked with Onitsuka Tiger to adapt Japanese models to American feet. Mixing the materials in a flip-flop with various athletic shoes, Bowerman designed the Onitsuka Aztec, named after the influence of the Olympic games in Mexico 1968. However, adidas had already created an Aztec Mexico, so Bowerman had to rename it. They were determined to end with the Aztec and Bowerman chose the name of ‘the Spanish that ended with the Aztecs’. Thus, the
nike cortez ultra was born.
In 1972, Bill Bowerman stopped working with Onitsuka and created his own brand, Nike. As a designer of the Cortez, he wanted to introduce the shoe to the new brand and a judge had to make the decision. Both Nike and Onitsuka could continue selling the same product, but only Nike had the right to call it Cortez. The different names given to that shoe were not the only changes: almost every season, the Cortez suffered small changes to suit runners. It was the perfect reason to have a thousand new versions to reedit.
