The Nike Cortez Forrest Gump White / Varsity Red is an iconic sneaker that holds a significant place in both pop culture and athletic history. First introduced in 1972, the Nike Cortez was designed by Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman with the aim of creating a comfortable and durable running shoe. The sleek silhouette features a clean white leather upper, complemented by a striking varsity red Swoosh and a blue stripe along the midsole, which together deliver a timeless, patriotic look. The shoe's association with the 1994 film "Forrest Gump," wherein Tom Hanks' character famously dons a pair throughout his cross-country run, has cemented its status as a cultural legend, broadening its appeal beyond athletes to fashion enthusiasts and movie buffs alike.
Aside from its aesthetic allure, the Nike Cortez Forrest Gump White / Varsity Red is celebrated for its functional design. The lightweight EVA foam midsole provides excellent cushioning, making it a comfortable choice for long-distance running or everyday wear. Additionally, the herringbone-patterned rubber outsole ensures traction and durability, enhancing performance on a variety of surfaces. Over the years, the shoe has retained its original design elements, a testament to its enduring popularity and effectiveness. By embodying both historic and contemporary influences, the Cortez continues to be a versatile and beloved staple in Nike's expansive lineup, revered for its simplistic elegance and unwavering quality.

Reviewer Gloribel Gonzalez
Read the many outstanding reviews and bought a pair, love them. They are perfect for casual shoes or for mild athletic use. I use them for walking and sometimes biking.

Reviewer Sybil Y Reisch
I got these as a gift for my grandson and he says that they are very comfortable.
I definitely recommend these.
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 ROBI
Still have the black, as reviewed; also still have the white-ish that I got before the black and a silver-grey color I got after. The rubbing on the 'pinky toe' is still an issue (I love to just throw on shoes in summer, no socks. [My Boomer Mom gave up the ghost chastising me for that a looong time ago -lol] and that will cause a red, sore spot on the outside of my little toe within an hour or three. MUST WEAR THE NO SHOW SOCKS with this style.) I have highish arches. If I wear these shoes for a lot of walking or standing, at the end of the day when I take them off I will get a foot cramp as there is zero arch support. I did have to buy a pair of my old brand when my kid ended up in ICU because these are never gonna be 'standing around or pounding the pavement' comfortable. These are cute shoes first. Finally, I wear the white for every day activities. So they need washing a lot. You gotta have some sort of oxi additive and you just about need to soak or they come back yellow. Bleach worsens this, well water (how I started) or county water that is purified with chlorine (where I am now) - the white will yellow without a whitening laundry additive. So I'm down to like a 4 on my review because these shoes are too expensive to be this high maintenance.
I've worn nothing but Skechers for 12+ years. Got my first pair of Chuck Taylor Shoreline and was hooked. This was my second pair (my white pair are versatile but I needed black to match the majority of the rest of my wardrobe). Comfortable shoes BUT you will need the Chuck Taylor compatible socks, otherwise you may get a blister on the outside of a toe.
