The Nike Cortez GS White / Varsity Blue pays homage to a classic silhouette that has been an emblem of street style and athletic culture since its debut in 1972. Originally designed by Bill Bowerman, the Cortez was created to provide comfort and durability for runners, quickly gaining popularity beyond the track. This specific iteration, part of the Grade School (GS) line, retains the timeless charm and sleek design of the original, making it suitable for younger sneaker enthusiasts. The shoe features a crisp white leather upper accented by the iconic Varsity Blue swoosh, offering a striking yet minimalist aesthetic. The red detailing around the midsole adds a touch of retro flair, completing the nostalgic look that has kept the Cortez relevant for decades.
In terms of performance, the Nike Cortez GS provides more than just a vintage appeal. The shoe's design prioritizes comfort, maintained through its lightweight construction and cushioned sole that absorbs impact with ease. This makes the Cortez an ideal choice for both casual wear and sporty activities, as it effortlessly blends style with functionality. The herringbone-patterned outsole ensures a good grip, while the durable materials promise longevity even with regular use. As an iconic sneaker that bridges generations, the White / Varsity Blue version of the Nike Cortez GS allows young wearers to connect with a piece of fashion history, ensuring the legacy of the Cortez lives on in contemporary style.

Excellent product. Excellent service.
Reviewer Erica J Villiotte
This is the THIRD pair of these bought for hubby. He is 87 now and still walks MILES daily and loves these shoes. He has a hand problem, so the velcro straps are absolutely the perfect thing for him. These are very smart looking as well as comfortable and functional. Highly recommended by us.
Reviewer Sarah K Briggs
This well-made leather sneaker is perfect for someone looking for something that is a step up from a skate shoe, but one that remains stylish. The black leather looks great with jeans and looks a little dressier than a typical athletic shoe. The Lacoste alligator logo looks great on the side of the shoe; it's noticeable but not gaudy. In addition to looking good, the shoe is also lightweight and comfortable which is just as important. This product definitely lives up to the Lacoste brand.

When my 12-year old son said that he wanted these shoes, I ordered them. I have purchased several New Balance products (for my family) in the past, and have found them to be durable and comfortable. When these arrived (quickly and ahead of schedule I might add), I was pleasantly surprised. They look better in person than the photo. The shoes run true to size (my son wears a 10 ½) and he says that they are very comfortable. He even thinks that they extremely stylish (or as stylish as green shoes, with camouflage accents and orange laces can be). And I will be able to tell you in about 4 months how well they wear (traditionally tennis shoes last about 6 months before they begin to tear up) after he puts some more miles on them. But overall, I give them 5 stars.

My size 11's fit great. Feet will start to hurt a little if standing for hours but that's rare. Look great!
Reviewer Airthief
Very nice fit and secures the ankle
Reviewer Benjamin Solah
Like other reviews I have read I had to size down. I’m a woman’s size 6 and I bought a size 4 (originally) and it was too big. I look like I had clown shoes on. So I bought a size 3 and they fit perfectly!! I could have got a 3.5 and been fine, but I strictly use these for lifting on leg days only and I prefer them just a tad bit more snug, however they aren’t uncomfortable in any way! Love them!

Unfortunately for me Sperry doesn't make men's size 12.5 sneakers. But fortunately I could buy size 13 and use sole inserts to attain a great fit. These sneakers in black are understated cool. Not "athletic" looking but still casual. Great price too!
