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 shoe fit pretty good except that the back was a bit too short and it wasnt as deep as hoped for the insert. Have a hard time finding shoes for size 17 long toe foot. Usually cant find a wide enough toe bow so have been trying the wide width. They were so close to being what was wanted, but did return the shoes. Burgendy/hemp is not as bad as red, but I'll wear most colors if I can just find the right fit.
Reviewer AlanGould
Good shoes - I enjoy them. They are absolutely flat so there is no arch support. If you are bothered by walking without the support you won't enjoy these, but they look and feel good otherwise and I can wear them all day. I wouldn't try and run in them!
Reviewer Tyler Collins
This is the first work shoe that is narrow enough for my husband’s foot. We are buying a second pair to have on hand because they are so comfortable and sturdy.
Reviewer Terry McGee
These shoes are as advertized. They are both comfortable to wear and look excellent. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a medium priced everyday shoe.
Reviewer Adam Segal
Though the listing pictures make these shoes look “cream”, they are indeed white in-person. At least the upper portion. The bottom sole is gray. It shows on the label that the entire shoe is man-made. The bottom sole does not feel like rubber. It has the feel of pressed paper. There is nice arch support, and a fair amount of padding inside. Some padding around the ankle as well. These shoes are Made in China. They may be a little wide for some. These look more for those in the nursing profession.
Reviewer Barham F Kennedy
Yours are a little tight.
Having a high arch I didn't expect much support. Adding my arch pass was a simple thing.
Now they got well. They always stretch and fit like a glove after a few weeks.
Soles last a good while.
Offer good protection from rocks and have good grip.

This shoe in size 13 fits me as expected/true to size. They're pretty comfortable. I really like them. I left off one star just because there's a spot on the side that looks a little wrinkled but its only minor. I want the other colors now 👍
Reviewer David C Cramer
Great buy at the price point
Reviewer Christoph Kelly
Order half a size up. I couldn't tell you whether there truly is a sizing isshuns or if Americans just like their shoes a little bigger, but I'm a perfect 9.5 and the 10s I received today fit right into the Zen zone. Nice and lightweight, I do not recommend running down wet stairs at full-tilt until the soles have broken in. Or I guess unless there's a bear drinking straight from your liquor cabinet. Don't even study the soles if that's happening. Quit drooling on your phone and run, AWAY from the bear.
I shall amend this review after bootages have been rendered in capital-producing laborious activities.

The only two brands of shoes I can wear are Altra and Merrell and so far, these are the best Altra's I have had. I use these to ride my stationary exercise bike and walk my dogs at the park. It looks like they aren't making the 3.5 anymore and now have a 4.0 so I hope that shoe is as good as this one. It took maybe two part time days to break it and then they were great. The toe box is amazing as I have really screwed up toes on one foot and other issues. These shoes are comfortable throughout the day.
