Cortez, to me, has become like split pea soup. As a kid, I had zero taste for them, but as I got older, I’ve learned to appreciate them. The struggle now is to find a pair that has decent leather quality. Might look into these, though. Solid review, my guy!
Nike say thwy have re engineered these so that they dont lose their shape like they used ro.....whats your thoughts,apparentkt the toe and side panels are reinforced
These look great but after owning a pair a few years ago, my feet hurt just watching this video. My pair felt like I was walking on a 1X2 piece of wood.
I really want to like the Cortez. They have a place in my heart, as I used to rock a pair of OG Cortez with metallic swoosh back in highschool, and they were DA SHIT! But sneakers tech have come too far, and these I'm afraid, have been left in the dust.
Funny how they have outlasted any other sneaker you can name though. These are Nikes first products from 1972. Name anything from the 1972 that is still here
That's hilarious you mention that because I had a personal pair of bowling shoes about 20 years ago where I wore a hole through the uppers because of my leg swing on my follow-through. I replaced the uppers with a pair of cheap (at the time) Nike Cortez because I had the same thought, they looked amazing and turning heads. If there was more of a market, I would love to turn sneakers into proper bowling shoes. Not that the current higher-end bowling shoes are necessarily bad, but I'd love to be bowling while styling some heat. 😂✅
