With the holidays coming up, we can expect to see some festive sneakers from Nike, and leading the way is this "Day of the Dead" inspired Cortez. Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday dedicated to honoring those who have passed, and Nike has created sneakers for this tradition before.

This design's "Day of the Dead" inspiration is undeniable, with skull and flower graphics featured on the upper, heel, and insole. This sneaker mixes a mostly white, black, and grey colorway with orange, blue, and red details.

Day of the Dead begins on Oct. 31, but expect this sneaker to release some time before then.
