m W THE TURKEY SAYS: "You no longer need two pairs of shoes for cross coun try season. NIKE is revolutionizing road running shoes. The new Waffle Trainer was designed for cross country train ing, but it is light enough for the racing you will be doing. It is also an excellent shoe for training on any kind of track surface. Remember the Cortez? Many people felt that it was the best training shoe on the market. However, at NIKE, we are always looking for ways to improve shoes. We have widened the heel and constructed a much more stable heel counter. On the new Cortez, the sole is much more durable and the shoe is much lighter. The Cortez is not only an ideal training shoe, but is ideal for racing as well. The Cortez now comes in every PAC-8 color!" PRICES: Nike Cortez ($24.95) or only ($20.75 for 5 or more).
