Nike's Cortez sneaker has been hot. And now in rich suede, the celeb-loved shoe is also crazy sweet. If not, a little caffeinated. Basically, the Swoosh is extra charged-up.

Since it first dropped as a football shoe in 1972, the Cortez has taken on many forms, but there are none more luxe than the flip-tongued version.

There's just an innate level of chicness that comes with an extra long tongue. In case there was any doubt that Wales Bonner's influence transcends brands, there you have it.

Couple this elevated design with the Cortez's full suede nubuck upper, and the hardy runner instantly transforms into a cortado-coded stunner.

Available on the Nike website, the Cortez wears a full suede upper with a tonal Swoosh on the midfoot and the tongue.

The mocha-toned madness continues with chocolate laces and a matching rubber outsole, solidifying this sneaker as the definition of decadence.

This isn't the first time the Swoosh has taken its Cortez through the chocolate factory.

Nike's Parachute Beige Cortez has a similarly latte-infused aura, as does the hole-ridden tan version of the sneaker. These sneakers are more than just up — they're wide awake.
