[lbcol]

i got love for the cortez, personally i own the dark blue nylon pair, or as i like to call them, the "costanzas"

 

[benny blanco]

Only Mexicans from Cali wear these

 

[yungdeadmike]

 I noticed alot cheerleaders rock Cortez.

I only rock nylon, saw a pair a Gabriel brothers in Neutral Grey with white swoosh for like 30 bills. 1/2 size too small tho.

I didn't know these dropped. Anyone know where I can find a pair for a fair price? I see they're on eBay for like $150, willing to pay that amount but not at the moment. I want to rock these for Memorial Day or the 4th to represent my favorite fictional American Hero, Forrest Gump.


Any info on these will be greatly appreciated.

if any hispanic or black male wears them they are basically a target for any gang to ask them where they're from. i rarely see anyone wearing cortez's anymore besides old school gang bangers stuck in the 90s
i had pairs as a kid and pairs as a teenager when i was into the whole bangin %*!#.

I like it whatever people say. Specifically, vintage one tho.

 

[emier2]

original dope boy shoe

 

[putting in work]

Do Cortez run true to size?

 

[aeropooch]

I love my one pair of Burgundy Cortez's, but there is a lot of stereotypes behind the shoe unfortunately- The comfort level is insane! from 72!?? wow- ahead of it's time.

 

[heatking]

im surprised they havnt made cortez a SB shoe version

i mean the classics and bruins kind of look like them but i always think they would of done it

 

[rich24smith]

So wrong

 

[trinhovo]

The Cortez brings back memories for me. I rocked those for a solid 2 years in middle school.

 

[jay219]

do they fit tts anyone?

Gotta say this is one of my favorite shoes. Growing up in Los Angeles during the 80s- mid 90s it seemed that everyone had a pair of Cortez. Totally a gang related shoe. All my boys had at least 3 pair. It just sucks that the price has jumped so high for such a simple shoe. Anyway, cortez are dope and I still rock them, just at sale price. Haahaa

 

[sized13]

Yes tts
