The Nike Cortez Sail / University Red is a classic sneaker that pays homage to Nike's rich history and timeless design ethos. Originally introduced in 1972, the Cortez has become synonymous with both athletic performance and casual street style, consistently appealing to a wide range of sneaker enthusiasts. This specific iteration, the Sail / University Red, features a clean and minimalist design that emphasizes the shoe's iconic silhouette. The upper is crafted from high-quality leather in a subtle sail color, which is a soft, off-white shade that offers versatility and elegance. The striking University Red accents, prominently displayed on the signature Nike Swoosh and heel tab, provide a vibrant contrast that captures attention while maintaining a sense of classic simplicity.
Over the years, the Nike Cortez has evolved from a groundbreaking running shoe to a cultural staple, often seen at the crossroads of sport, music, and fashion. This model, with its Sail / University Red colorway, continues that legacy by combining nostalgia with modern style sensibilities. The shoe's comfort-oriented design, which includes a lightweight foam midsole and durable rubber outsole with a herringbone pattern for enhanced traction, remains one of its most attractive features. The Nike Cortez Sail / University Red is not just a sneaker; it's a statement piece that carries the essence of both retro charm and contemporary cool, making it a coveted item for collectors and casual wearers alike. Whether paired with activewear or integrated into a more fashion-forward outfit, the Cortez effortlessly bridges the gap between sport and style.

The last pair of PUMA's I owned was about 30 years ago. At the time, they seemed cheap and I didn't like them.
Fast forward to today and I like the way PUMA's look. I've been wanting these for a while and found them on sale recently. I'm glad I did.
I haven't the slightest idea how well these will wear, but I strongly disagree with those who say that they're uncomfortable. Believe me when I say that, because I'm all about comfort and I know how hard it can be to find comfortable shoes, that are still affordable, today. They're not a running shoe with a squishy sole, but they're still one of the more comfortable pairs of shoes that I own. The sole has far more cushion than a pair of Adidas Sambas I own, which I find extremely uncomfortable.
Of course they look nice too, but I'll wrap this up by describing the fit. They probably do run slightly narrow and short, but I think some of the reviews exaggerate how much. They're bigger than many shoes I own, including my Sambas. In fact, I'm between sizes and have no problem with the smaller size. The arch support doesn't seem like much, but it's more than adequate, because they're so comfortable. The cushioned soles do their part in the comfort of the shoe, too.
Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe and will probably be buying more pairs in the future.

My husband's absolute favorite hiking/urban shoe -- he has 4 pairs and if they ever wear out, my guess is he'll buy more.
Reviewer R Pettijohn
My husband has to stand on his feet for twelve hours a work day and says they fit perfect and do not bother his feet at all.
Reviewer SJT
Wasn’t sure about this brand of shoe. I ordered it for my daughter as she started her own business painting designs on shoes. Didn’t think it wouldn’t be comfortable but was wrong. It served its purpose and actually worked better than expected.
Reviewer Rita Novella
These are perfect classic tennys to wear all day. Neither too masculine or feminine, light to medium grays in the color. Sole is stable & comfortable without being clunky on. Inside some padding, outer is a strong netting on top of shoe and a layer of material underneath that. I'm 67 and feet have flattened out with time but, these are comfortable support for me all day
Reviewer Quentin Kramer
These are styled like oxfords but more casual cool. Great soles are comfortable and not bulkily heavy. You can brush off the suede with damp cloth. Perfect spring/summer shoe..good look w/jeans or shorts
Reviewer Julian Winston
I have them on display / They are exremely stylish for the price // for cosplay / cyberpunk / future goth .. these shoes look great //
Reviewer joenmattsmom
The only complaint is there WAS a very small black mark on the foremost back left side about the size and shape of two pin heads.It is not worth the bother to return them. The shoes fit very well and I am overall happy with the purchase...minus that mark
Reviewer Katelyn J Miller
Stiff-feeling - especially around the ankle. I've gone through three pairs of these shoes in black/oatmeal, and they were not stiff at all at any point in time. Not sure what is up with this particular pair. Hoping they will break-in fairly quickly once Spring comes and I wear them more often.
