owned both the leather and nylon pairs back in high school... both were super comfortable , though I like the feel of the nylon version more

i rocked cortez's back in the 80's. i been collecting cortez's for about 10 yrs now.

 

[mr coordinate]

i think i still have a pair somewhere,they are real comfortable. just reminds me of an average looking shoe. like the NB line, no offense to anyone, just not my cup of tea

 

[airjordan jb23]

I think George Costanza every time the Cortez comes up.

Always kinda liked em, but I was never the right dude to own a pair... Saw theyre up on NikeId right now.

My first thoughts as well.
I kinda want a pair though, I think they are dope.

love these shoes. a damn shame its labeled a gang shoe. love the leather versions the best although the nylon and suede ones are sick aswell.

I remember The Rock use to rock the white/navy ones...best colorway imo

 

[baldgrill]

cortez's will always have a spot in my heart. used to wear nylon/suede ones back in the day.

i saw a pair of fire red leather/metallic gold last year at a 49er tailgate. the guy said they were his dad's pair from way back. i check ebay for them whenever i remember and i've never come across another pair. they're my cortez grails.

 

[timcity2000]

i like them too, but not sure they'd look right on me.

isn't the cortez the longest running continuous production shoe nike has made?

the cortez will never be poor

 

[sosickening]

They're too gangsta for me. Seriously.

 

[zapatohead408]

I love them, but around my way all the cholos would be trying to check me for my pair.

They've been part of the gang culture out in California. Even if it wasn't still an ugly shoe.

I like the Cortez AKA the Costanzas (owned 3 pairs of them over my life time) they used to be comfy, however, today they are nothing short of wearing cardboard on your feet. I had the chance to try on a set a few months back and they were painful to walk in, absolutely no cushion and the cheapest leather possible.
