I'm not sure if there's already a thread for the Nike Cortez despite trying to check for it. But there's a Cortez/Union collaboration coming out.

I like

I don’t know if I can get down. They’re cool but the Cortez was always simple and sleek, all of the panels make it too busy IMO

No cap, these look like children's shoes to me.

But I guess you can say the same thing about a lot of kicks these days

Wow zero hype for these huh? I’ll be trying for them in the morning. Are they gonna be brick city?

If Union 2s bricked, then these are guaranteed to. It should be a easy cop for anyone who wants them.

Well those FLEW. Got in immediately and sold out by the time I was on the checkout page. And this is coming from a guy that hit the Union 2's and had a confirmation email within the first minute of them going live. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ can't win em all.

edit - I'm guessing they scrapped their bot protection based on what happened last time and bots ATE. Hope they enjoy making a tiny amount per shoe, lol. (if not losing money)

Copped the blue one… remind me of Mexican blankets.

Easy pass on these but the Sacai's are where it's at. Will shoot for those instea.d

 

[VisualMalaise]

I love the Cortez, but the extra material on these was too much for me. They’re cool I just don’t think I could rock em. I was eyeballing those and the ISPA Link but I’m gonna get the new MOC 3.5 instead

 

[dnp23]

Anyone able to speak to how these fit yet? From my experience Cortez run a bit tight but wondering if the materials on these make them different.

 

[shawn_chrystafur]

anyone that owns a pair? Did you order TTS or Size up?

 

[nylon]

Ez pass on these cortez. Can't make it work with my current wears.

 

[Arcanum512]

Hit on the sneaker politics raffle! I went .5 size up. Hope that works out.

Copped the black pair (union “exclusive” lol) on undefeated and hit the tan pair for my wife on SNKRS. Love when the resale ain’t there so the bots don’t feast.

 

[1212theory]

ah crap, is going up half a size a must for these? just went with tts for the tan joints.

 

[bob sacamano]

Copped black off undefeated too. Don’t care if they brick. Seattle colorway

I’ve never worn a pair, but I looked up reviews and comments online for Cortez and the consensus seemed to be .5 up helped because they’re very narrow. But if you’re not a wide footer you might be ok tts.

 

[ed_shed]

well I hit on these, which means that they'll be sitting on shelves for two weeks and then will go on sale/to the outlets. yay..

My true size is a US 11 a bit on the wider side. I wear an 11.5 in most air maxes and adidas running sneakers. I go a full size up in all Yeezys. I go a half size down in 990 series new balance and I go a half size down in timberlands and air force 1s. True to size 11 in most everything else. I bought these union cortez in my true size 11 and they fit fine. An afternoon or all-day wear will be more telling but it felt fine on the try on. Even had a bit of heel slip while laced loosely but I'm sure when tied they will not slip at all. Sorry for the novel but, I know how it feels to want to make sure you get the right side in a shoe you probably will never get a chance to just try on first.
