Was 1972. Now 2023. Sometimes more is better. Recrafting the revered look, we've refreshed the Nike Cortez "Forrest Gump" Men's Shoe with a wider toe area and firmer side panels so you can comfortably wear them day in, day out. Reengineered materials help prevent warping and add durability while maintaining the classic '72 shape you fell in love with. Lace up, because tradition keeps getting better.
