Makes me wonder if the "fakes" are just real ones that didn't pass quality control and get sent back down to a rejection bin and eventually get sold off cheap to a distributor as so called "fakes"🤔
@@isabellaoliveira2092 i came here to say the same thing lol... I just find a rep for R$ 150 in shoppe app, and looks like a good one, i will buy the OG, but they have a version with stranger things Collab, wich is awesome and i never seen in Brazil before.
I think it's a bit of an unfair review, you should wear them for a week with some heavy usage. See how durable and comfortable they are before saying they're comparable. But definitely love the idea behind the vid
Men’s nike Cortez’s don’t run flat in the back of the sole the rubber bottom meets the white foam so that you can’t see the middle color foam from the back
#PlotTwist: They're probably both "knock-offs" by definition. the store-bought pair looks like a slightly higher-grade than the other pair. You can ask the vendors to send images of the actual shoe and also buy a boy from them. they ship without boxes to reduce shipping costs and to avoid taxes/duties in the port of arrival.
I think real Nike's will outlast the replicas. You get what you pay for in this case. I had a fake pair of Chuck Taylors and could not wear them because they were so uncomfortable.
Yep I had in the 1990's some Converse Take Addias Superstar, the low top model not the High top original made first for Kareem in the 1970's. Though the Converse model was comfortable once the shoe had to wear in a tad, they did not last nearly as long as the Addidas Superstar would as the nose cap came off early.
I mean why are you even surprised? The current Cortez is shit quality all made in Asia. Garbage "leather" and rubber and shit materials as a whole. Probably costs 1 dollar to actually make.
I've been wearing leather Cortez since 1981. The reason you can't tell a difference in the way the exterior leather feels is Nike has lowered its quality for mass production and higher profits. I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn both companies source the leather from the same supplier IN CHINA.
you got the Cortez classic, the ones that have the 72 metal plate are the cortez basic. the difference is the leather in the classic is a better quality, other then that and the 72 metal plate they look the same. the classic cost about 20 dollars more then the basic.
EDfromtheW 29 don't buy them...the shoes are associated with the ms13 gang and if they see you with them on they can kill you. Do your research if you don't believe me.
Can you at reference the seller for the replicas as it becomes frustrating not to have the source? Different sellers will have varying prices and quality or replicas.
hello sir thanks for this wonderful video, i have a pair of cortez i brought from secondhand shop , i thought it was legit at first but after i search the searial number on the internet its different colorway appeared and upon scrolling down i saw my pair on a chinese website thank you for this video big help
It's not that hard to copy. The design is very simple on the Cortez. It's a cheap shoe . Nothing special about it other than a cultural demand. It's not even a good running shoes now compare to today's high tech running shoes.
@@forrestgump5336 yeah but you're also a hick from Alabama who don't know any better. Nike probably just give you those shoes for endorsement , and you just listen to your mama.
i bought few fake nike from ali express... you can feel that they are fake. pay more and get real nike, the fake one dont last long and are not as half as comfortable..
Yeah, the real cortez are made in Indonesia, the fake one made in vietnam. I am from Indonesia many of nike hi grade shoe are made here in Indonesia nike factory. I have cortez year of the rabbit edition and cortez midnight navy that I bought in legit retail store like atmos, footlocker, and jdsports and it is made in Indonesia. Most of the time if you get nike made in Indonesia you can be sure is the real one. If you come to Indonesia however you can easily buy cheap (or not so cheap depend on material) nike replica or fake and mostly is made in vietnam or china. It is quite hard even for Indonesian to buy nike made in Indonesia because it is sold overseas, the nike distributor in here need to import it back before sell it through legit retail store.
Yep those stitches always a thing same with suede's That's the first thing that give fake shoe away. I always wonder isn't it that hard to figure how to stitch them the right way?)) Is it a some secret that only legit shoe manufacturers know?)) And after all fake ones will be dead worn out after a few weeks maybe a month.,) So you'll have to buy a new pair each month and in the end be wearing fakes for same price of a new ✌️
Im sorry but the legit Nike Cortez for me are the ones that have the little metal piece. If it doesn’t have that I won’t buy them. And I cannot even find any like that anymore!! 😩😩 its so sad because those were my favorite!!

Its not '78' or '79' its '72'
Daniel Ortega yeah 72 that’s when they hit the stores
The 72 model of Cortez is made a bit different from Nike 78/79 model
Why would anybody buy reps of Cortez they ain't even expensive
Came here for this comment
i can't find it in brazil. even in nike's website. i didn't buy the replica but i can understand why
Well it matters to me if its real because its an iconic shoe plus the real ones are more comfortable to wear

The font is different, the K and the E don't touch on the left shoe like they do on the right shoe 5:25
Billy Breakaho yeah that’s right
U know what's wild? They probably came from the same factory
yes
Could the ones that are referred to as fake could actually be the real thing just a factory defect so they sell them at a low price just my opinion
He bought the Sureño Cortez
The font isn't correct at all 😂
Hello. Where did u buy those replicas.? They look good.
Men’s nike Cortez’s don’t run flat in the back of the sole the rubber bottom meets the white foam so that you can’t see the middle color foam from the back
Where's the link for them reps tho 👀 we ain't all got money for 100 dollar shoes
2:36 72’* not 78’ or 79’ 🤣
Project Nike's Classics right there
Where did you get the blue Cortez I can’t find them anywhere
you can buy them on line directly from Nike!

I bought the forest gump colorway and the inner part is leather not fabric. By the way I bought the real ones
Where did you get the blues?
I think they stopped selling them because I am also trying to get those
Original cortez never had that meta lace logo that 2000s and on
True
The sole was also flared. I don't like the new ones; seems like they would tip easily.
Where did you get the fake ones
Can anyone tell me if My shoes are fake 😭 Mine have a Swoosh at the back
Wish I had the link to the off brand
Real Cortez gumps have a red in-sole. Similiar to your blue having a blue in-sole.
I mean why are you even surprised?
The current Cortez is shit quality all made in Asia. Garbage "leather" and rubber and shit materials as a whole.
Probably costs 1 dollar to actually make.
Can i get your replica nike cortez? Please?
How did they hold up
I know this video is uploaded 2yrs ago but I still want to ask if this Cortez you have is really a Unisex? Hope you response 🤪. Thanks! 😊
Also note that the reps have shorter tongues than the real ones
I actually like the shape of the fakes better, thanks for the vod
Were did u buy the replicas at
Where can I find these suede ones?

both were the nylon and Leather Cortez are what the actual Nike Forest Gump models are.
Do you ever wear either one of these sockless with shorts? If so, are they comfortable?

İm so proud of it...
Salam from İndonesia.
So where can I buy these???? Asking for a friend...

@@auerov.o Ms 13 dont run shit down here in Mexico they'll get they're head chopped off if they come over with that bs.
Do you wear these sockless?

I am buying both orginal and OEM shoes. The style really looks the same. But the comfort when you are wearing it is way different.
U should of bought same color n worn one on each foot n worn em for a year then showed us if they wore down the same.
A lot of Nike shoes are made in Vietnam also. Could it be made in China but mislabeled as Vietnam? Or did Vietnam ship them to China and then to you.
The red fake ones looked pretty good until 7:00 when he was wearing them. The red ones looked really squishy on his feet
This video was pretty illustrative !!!
I wanna buy some off of Amazon but erryone is telln me they’re gonna be fake
It’s no ‘78 or ‘79 it’s ‘72
The fake leather behind the heel wears really easy
You paid 110 for cortezes what the hell I paid 50 for mine and they were legit straight from the Nike store like 53 ish with tax
Nike original from indonesia, pt. Pratama abadi industri
I have two pairs o Nike Cortez that i bought from Nike. It seems that both of your shoes are fake. No metal '72? Uh, uh...
hello sir thanks for this wonderful video, i have a pair of cortez i brought from secondhand shop , i thought it was legit at first but after i search the searial number on the internet its different colorway appeared and upon scrolling down i saw my pair on a chinese website thank you for this video big help
No plural on Cortez
New shoes on the table? My granny would shit.
M S 13' S BEST SHOES!
Man where did u buy the replicas? My english is so bad that i cant understand everything . Thx for the review
Suppose to be 72
It's not that hard to copy. The design is very simple on the Cortez. It's a cheap shoe . Nothing special about it other than a cultural demand. It's not even a good running shoes now compare to today's high tech running shoes.
Who runs in cortez's anyways
I mean nowadays of course
jtan2010 i was running in these pair of shoes for 6 years so you cant have an opinion
@@forrestgump5336 yeah but you're also a hick from Alabama who don't know any better. Nike probably just give you those shoes for endorsement , and you just listen to your mama.
@@forrestgump5336 For some reason I'm kinda digging this shoe to run in 😂😂 I might. Screw all that technology.
You payed 107 for Cortez. You got ripped off. You can tell the reps look sloppy stands. And they will probably make your feet smell like shit. Lolol
2:30 still wrong72
oh
At this point bc of all the tiktok kids ima just wear rep cortezs
Hello do u have Instagram ? I have to message you about a pair of shoes I bought I want to know if they are fake

"72"
Who cares if it’s legit or fake!? As long as You don’t wear it on your my face only on your feet! shoes are just kissing dirt and touches the ground!
you said the fakes are made in indonesia? really? a lot of you guys didn't realise he did a mistake.
Yeah, the real cortez are made in Indonesia, the fake one made in vietnam. I am from Indonesia many of nike hi grade shoe are made here in Indonesia nike factory.

It’s 72 actually
Yup 72 I'm looking at mine
Thank you..I thought I was wrong
Looks like he purchased two imitation pairs of shoes!
Yep those stitches always a thing same with suede's
That's the first thing that give fake shoe away.
I always wonder isn't it that hard to figure how to stitch them the right way?))

Never wear fake! I will stay OG for all times
Why they don't make them with natural leather anymore? Syntetic leather and nylon are so shit!
as if the real ones are actually real..
yeahhh yang original made in indonesia
Its 72
Probably only shoes i will never wear just cause is associated to gangs
thats made in Indonesia bro, my country hahaha
I’m actually afraid of buying this because i heard they can kill me for wearing them
Ivan Hernandez that’s not true just don’t wear baggy clothes & don’t buy the red ones. There are gangs that will kill you for wearing red cortez .
Serio 13 Thanks for letting me know, but i don’t really understand the reason why they can’t wear the red ones
@@IvanHernandez-kn5gg I wear the Forrest gumps and I haven't died maybe it depends on where you live
red wine I live in the frontier tecate-USA
@@IvanHernandez-kn5gg you'll be fine
If don't want those shoes can you send it over here.. pretty please.. haha lol.. so that i can give it to my brother who is working hard.. thanks.. ✌
El fucking amo❤😂😂😂😂
the fake ones wont last you even two years. Originals lasted me ten.
Comfort..
Christ stop saying "cortezez"!
that was close
id rather have the fake pair
I have no idea why they wrote "made in Indonesia"
I have no idea why you wrote this.
Gajelas lo
Cortez is the first ever Nike shoe
no it's not!!!!
+Drwwli so what's the first nike
Yes it is.
Im sorry but the legit Nike Cortez for me are the ones that have the little metal piece. If it doesn’t have that I won’t buy them. And I cannot even find any like that anymore!! 😩😩 its so sad because those were my favorite!!
like what happen to Zion, Nike shoes are made somewhat the same as their Replicas, CHEAP. Nike sacks!
Deadmatch copy.
Dope video. It's a very thin line between real and fake
In India 🇮🇳 Nike cortez replica is very funny 😅
Bro there’s no rationalizing fakes bruh stop it 🛑 ✋🏽 5
i rather get the real cortez just my opinion
kenapa yang KW harus dari indonesia cobaa
Lmao you make me laugh
Nike's quality now days is so bad, no wonder there's not much difference! ha
Who’s broke ass gonna buy fake cortez
