    I can't believe I got my hands on a pair of these! For those of you in their mid to late 30's, you can surely relate. These Nike Cortez sneakers are the epitome of classics - O.G.'s if you will. I rocked 'em in my teen years when I didn't know any better and I rock them now when I do; regardless they maintain their freshness as an iconic retro classic. Do consider ordering a half-size up though since they surprisingly run small. I normally wear a 9.5 but they were too uncomfortably snug and tight. The 10s fit way better. Also, they're a little narrow at first but through regular use, I'm sure they'll be much more comfortable. I went with the Navy/White and found they pair up well with my premium denims but still casual enough to floss with shorts; proving their versatility. Getting the Black/White next!

    These are really some comfy 'kicks'. Have in mind, however, when ordering, to ask for half a size up - they can run a little tight for big toes. Other than that, they're awesome.

    Absolute classic! I was shocked when Zappos finally got these. Definitely order at least half a size up as another review on here says. I had to reorder the right size which arrived a day later (thank you Zappos!) but now they fit great and look sick! Get a pair!

    "Just do it."

    Nike offers a vast array of products for an active sports lifestyle. Because every athlete wants to be better, Nike is able to outfit an athlete from the top down with high performance shoes, clothing, socks, bags, watches and eyewear. Since today’s sports are about creating great athletes and transforming them into great players, Nike is there every step of the way to enhance each training experience, making each workout count.

    Top quality and performance are key to unlocking your inner potential. With a pair of Nike Shox beneath your feet and a Nike Dri-Fit ensemble to help deflect sweat and discomfort, your goals will be within reach. No matter what your goals are, Nike knows that training and running are a way of life. Keep up with your active lifestyle and prepare for the game with the NikeFit apparel system.

    If swimming is more your game, Nike Swimwear has got you covered. From training to team swimwear, Nike remains at the forefront of new and innovative technologies. Nike Swim is constantly striving to develop new fabrics for more comfortable and effective swimwear. Since harsh, chlorinated water is hard on swimsuits, Nike has created an answer with Nike NX fabric. This chlorine-resistant, colorfast nylon fabric can withstand long hours of training and competition while retaining its shape throughout the life of the garment. Excellent shape retention and soft, lightweight comfort can be found with Nike Swimwear that utilizes Nike EVR-X poly fabric. This unique fabric blends in the revolutionary chlorine-proof Dow XLAâ„¢ fiber with a comfortable stretch for maximum performance and comfort.

    Nike continues to seek new and innovative ways to develop superior athletic products, and creative methods to communicate directly with Nike consumers. Nike Free, Nike+ and Nike Sphere are just three examples of this approach. Nike has always been at the front of technical integration, whether it is from Bill Bowerman’s wife’s waffle iron outsole, the revolutionary Nike Pegasus, to Nike Air technology; Nike is always pushing the envelope on creativity. When it comes to creativity and functionality, Nike’s motto is “Just do it.�

    I'm a big fan of Nike Cortez and wish that the company would reinstate the entire line. That said, these are fine shoes, true to size, wear well, clean easily and are comfortable. I can't ask for more.

    I ordered these shoes because I couldn't find them for women. Luckily, I found them in a smaller size for men. My granddaughter loves these shoes. I was able to find her a pair of women's about two years ago, but now I can't find them. These fit her fine.

    They're not as comfortable as I would've liked, but they're stylish and sporty, so you can wear them with jeans or to the gym.

    I ordered these early on a Tuesday morning and had them in my hands on Wednesday afternoon. Quick shipping of a great shoe that I get comments on a lot. They look great with any bright colored t-shirt and some of the older (40ish years old) guys I work with have commented on their throw-back look. Just make sure you unlace them and remove the shiny silver piece at the toe of the laces. It looks super dumb.

    Super comfortable, old-school shoe. So cushiony you could even use it as a short distance running shoe. But definitely buy a whole size larger, as the Cortez runs notoriously small.

    I love these shoes as much as I love Zappos! They were a good price, arrived super quickly, fit and look great! The only down side is I broke my foot about 2 weeks after getting them so I'll only be wearing the left one for about 2 months! At least the leftie is super comfortable and has great traction and grip! Highly recommended shoes for sure.

    I am old enough to have had the original and these are great! I had the originals in the 70's and these are true to the original with a lighter weight fabric. I normally wear 10½ and needed a 11½. As usual the swap was seamless and the bigger size arrived in 24 hours.

    I usually wear 9 so I ordered a 9. 9s were way too small. I exchanged (which Zappos is the best by far on exchanges) for a half size larger and they are still just a little snug. I would say they are in between a half to a full size smaller than marked. Zappos customer service rocks!
