The Constitution doesn't really establish any courts; Article III, Section 1 mandates (requires) the creation of a Supreme Court. The Judiary Act of 1789actually established the Supreme Court and a rudimentary federal judicial system. The Supreme Court didn't exist in the period between the Constitution's adoption (September 17, 1787), ratification by the states (June 21, 1788) and passage of the first Judiciary Act (September 24, 1789).
Article III
Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
While differentiating between the words "establish" and "mandate" may seem like unnecessary semantics, it's important to remember the Constitution forms a foundation and a set of guiding principles for the US government, but leaves most of the details to Congress and the President (the Supreme Court doesn't play a direct legislative role in government).
