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 Randy J Seals
The fit is decent, very low top - the color in person is a little washed out, which you can see in the pictures. It's just that you don't realize how desaturated the color is until you're wearing them and that isn't necessarily a bad thing it's just something I didn't think about until I saw them in person - I actually think I prefer it. I'd love them if they were just a tad darker and more "true" red but that is my preference not the fault of the product.

I have 10+ pairs of Cole Haan shoes and they're all great, but these are the most comfortable out of all of them.
Reviewer Minister General
My husband loves these. I purchased a woman's pair and told him they were the most comfortable sneakers I'd ever tried. He decided to order and is very happy. They are comfortable and he can't say enough good things about the fit. He's been paying $123 for sneakers at a sport shop - these beat those sneakers hands down. We will purchase these again.
Reviewer Craig Williamson
Fits exactly as expected. Good deal.
Reviewer T Peiser
Love these shoes. Be sure to order a half size smaller. I have nothing negative to say. Great shoes, great price.
Reviewer Chip Mitchell
I hadn't worn a pair of Chuck Taylor's for over 40 years and bought them for old times sake. Wow! They handle an orthotic very well and are surprisingly comfortable. They've become my shoe of choice and I wear them most of the time now. It's also great to be able to throw them in the wash with the clothes.
Reviewer Ronald G Deagle
I usually go for new balance but these are very nice. I found a new favorite show.
Reviewer H Dindial
Outstanding shoe great price
Reviewer Sharon Greer
My grandson loves these great-looking sneakers. They’re comfortable and mold to the foot, and are perfect for hiking - and just lounging around. He said he would not have thought of this style sneaker for himself, but now finds himself reaching for them whatever the plan for the day is. They look great with jeans, khakis or even dress pants. He gives these 5 stars!
Reviewer Troy Wallis
I purchased these for my man he normally wears a 12 which is what I ordered they fit better with thin socks or no socks at all. He would had prefer a 13 but decided to keep these.He really likes them they just run small so I would order a size up
