Nike Cortez Light Orewood Brown Fauna Brown SAMPLE

Condition: Brand New with Defects

Size: 7W/5.5Y

This pair is a Nike sample, created during the design and development process and not intended for retail sale. Sample pairs are produced in minimal quantities and are often one-of-one, with details that can differ from the final public release. On this pair specifically, the heel tabs show slight differences from each other and from the retail version.

Condition & Sample Notes

This pair is a genuine Nike sample. Sample sneakers are produced for internal purposes such as design evaluation, wear testing, photography, or promotional use and are not intended for retail sale. Because of this, they often differ from standard retail pairs in packaging and condition.

This pair does not include its original Nike box, as sample pairs are typically not packaged for consumers. A replacement box with a custom label has been provided for protection and presentation.

The shoes are brand new, but they do show cosmetic marks and imperfections consistent with most sample pairs. Since samples are frequently handled internally, transported without retail packaging, and passed through multiple stages before reaching collectors, minor scuffs, marks, and handling wear are considered normal. Please review all photos carefully for the exact condition.

Why This Pair Hits

Owning a true Nike sample means owning a piece of the sneaker development process. Produced in extremely limited quantities and never intended for retail shelves, sample pairs offer a level of rarity and exclusivity that standard releases simply can’t match. For collectors, they’re more than just sneakers—they’re a unique piece of Nike history.
