Very happy with these shoes. They are new and improved version of the retro Cortez’s. I like the vintage styling with the updated sole. These are light and comfortable with the new sole.

Nice casual addition
LD-1000’s - 04 Aug 2025
The Nike LD-1000 Men’s shoe, is another nice addiction to my rotation. This shoes has a nice snug fit. I was able to adjust the laces and create a personal snug that feels great. The design is pretty casual. Made with two mesh side divide by a shade patch on the toe box gives this shoe a chest and clean design. A style can fits with a casual look. (Brighter colored ones look good with statement pieces). The fabric is nice and allows for the snug fit and a bit of toe dexterity. The walls sole looks and feels good. Before broken into, it did feel like the mid part of your foot was suspended with support just at the toes and heel, but that went away after a couple of wears. Not much I’d change on the shoe. Maybe make the two waffle rubbers on the front of the shoe slightly smaller. But over nice shoe.
