I love these shoes! Most comfortable lifestyle shoes ever. They're super cute and go with just about every outfit, but practical and comfortable enough for a day of walking at the fair. I've had mine for about a year and a half, and while they are starting to show their age, they have the same distressed look as Golden Gooses do. Ordered the Air Force 1 Shadows as a back up, but the Cortez's will always have a special place in my heart!

Cute but not keepers. They look cute on, but are not comfortable. I usually wear Nike Free RN so these are stiff in comparison. These do not “breathe” either. Look wise they are adorable. I got the yellow. Very cute. The shoe fit perfect. I wear a 6 in Nike and these fit just as good as every other Nike I own. The one think that maybe bothered me was the shoe is almost pointy-the toe box/tip of shoe has a point. It’s not a big point but I wish it was more round.

Bought these a few weeks ago to have something different from Sambas. They are very comfortable and stylish. I always get a half size up in trainers, and these fit perfectly. Very happy.

These trainers are GORGEOUS! I loved the colour and style. Most trainers nowadays look like some horrific pair of moon boots, but these were just perfect and lush! It pained me to return them as my usual size 8 was just way too big and practically falling off my feet. With Nike, I've since learned I'm a size 7.5. So now I'm waiting for the 7.5 to come back in stock. Please re-stock as soon as possible asos.
I sized up as per reviews, they were loose at the back and the nose was so tight it hurt my feet. I do have wide feet at the front though so might work for some people who don't have wide feet. They do look nice though I was quite gutted.
I love these shorts, the length is shorter than typical gym shorts which for me is nice. I use them for lifting in the gym but also like to trail run in them. I was looking for a pair of shorts that had a cool look but were not super baggy like basketball shorts. These are perfect. I have a medium to larger body build with larger legs than say a guy thats a runner. 5'11 and 185. I can tell you tho I tried on the Smalls, Mediums and Larges and i usually wear Medium gym shorts or a 33 waist with jeans sometimes 34 depending on the brand and I was debating on even getting the size small bc i wanted a more athletic fit. I was in the dressing room doing squat motions to see how the shorts would ride up my legs as i bent my legs and to tell you the truth i was a little ... MoreI love these shorts, the length is shorter than typical gym shorts which for me is nice.

I was in the dressing room doing squat motions to see how the shorts would ride up my legs as i bent my legs and to tell you the truth i was a little torn bc there wasn't much diff between small and medium too me. But i did go with medium at the end and so far I'm glad i did. These things are awesome for a guy that like to hit the gym, do trail running or go play basketball. And one more side note: They are really comfortable with out boxers on so that to me was an added bonus so i sleep in these things too. I am deff going to get a few more pair in the future, too me they are a little expensive but I believe in buying quality gear and these are pretty nice.
I have loved the Nike Cortez since I was in high school. When I was in school, my original pair was stolen, so my grandma took me out and bought me a new pair. These were the shoes I loved dearly. I cleaned them with a nice leather cleaner, and I took extra special care of them. I wore the sides out of them and I fixed them with shoe glue, and when that stopped helping, I used Super Glue. I loved those shoes until the day they died, and have been looking for a new pair ever since. Well, I found these and I was oh so excited to see them again and ordered a pair. Tried them on this morning, and I was sorely disappointed. Both my feet and the shoe have changed. So, I am going to see what lies ahead for us. I get tired of being the one who has the bad feet and cannot ... MoreI have loved the Nike Cortez since I was in high school.

I get tired of being the one who has the bad feet and cannot ever give sneakers a chance!!! I am gonna or maybe my daughter might like them. She and I have the same big feet!!!
Wish I could give zero stars. Have had these Nike Cortez sneakers for less than two months and already it’s falling apart. The rubber sole is beginning to unstickfrom the shoe. Macy’s said they can not process an exchange nor issue a refund because the shoes were worn and it’s been over a month since I’ve had them. I expected better quality because they are Nike. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this purchase. I might as well have flushed my hard earned money down the toilet.
These sneakers are perfect!!!! They are like new! I owned a pair in high school (more than 40 years ago) and thought that Nike stopped making the Cortez style. I was wrong! Thank you:)
