The vibe is '70's SoCal, sun in the sky and wind in your hair. The Nike Pacific is our callback to the type of casual, old-school sneakers that look good everywhere, even laying in the sand while you splash in the waves. A herringbone outsole and suede overlays give them a look that's as premium as it is classic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this pair of shoes. The materials were high quality, and the design was well made. They are sleek looking yet still have personality. They are really nice for a dressier look/business casual vibe. They are clean and look nice! I think they are great for all occasions but would be ideal for both sports and non-sports occasions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are perfect for play time and casual wearing out for my six year old! He loves how they can slip on and off easily. I think they look stylish with a lot of his clothes. Love these!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family just boarded a week long cruise to Mexico and Honduras this last week, so shoes and outfits were a huge part of our journey. Every night the cruise ship asks you to wear certain colors or styles (non mandatory) but we wanted to comply the best we could. The Nike Pacific were perfect on some of these nights because they’re lowkey and look professional. The suede and blue colorway helped my son (Elliot) look and feel sophisticated. He was able to wear them comfortably as dinner shoes and off in Mexico in the port as casual walking shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to get my son these Nike Pacific shoes and from the moment he saw them he said dad are these for me because I like them a lot. From the moment I put them on him he was running around jumping around just about everything a 5 year old would do. These shoes are made to be comfortable and durable while also being very stylish to wear with just about anything. We walk a lot and he did not complain at all. These shoes are also very easy to clean due to the fabric it was made. The shoes fit very true to size at first they might be a bit snug but as you wear them in they have stretched out and become more true size. Over all he’s happy with his shoes and me as a dad I am super happy that I found a shoe that would last him more then just one month and is also a shoe that goes with everything I would recommend them to all the parents at his school.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are super cute shoes I need to get an adult size to match. I love the gum soles, they slip on but look like real laces. Super comfy but a great casual sneaker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these sneakers for my 7 nephew who typically only likes the Nike court borough mid 2 high tops- those have become his comfort shoe(he is slowly branching out). Upon trying these on he was in love! He was so happy with how light weight these were and how they did not dig into his ankle! He has worn them every single day and is eager to get them in different colors! He said this sneaker makes him feel “comfy and cool”! He was very excited to show every one he loves his new sneakers!! He especially loved the suede because they feel soft and he said his toes can breathe! He’s even tried to wear them to his indoor soccer practice, I think they would work well!! A glowing review from a very picky 7 year old!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has been loving her Nike Pacific sneakers! The classic black and white colors with the gum sole is timeless and pairs well with just about any outfit for a nearly 9 year old. She finds them very comfortable, and the synthetic upper and rubber outsole have held up well to everyday wear without showing too much signs of wear (about two weeks so far). While these are more of a lifestyle sneaker than a performance shoe, they are perfect for kids who want something stylish and durable for daily use. Overall, we highly recommend them for any parent looking for a comfortable, great-looking sneaker for their child! They fit true to size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Are these what Nike used to call Cortez’s? Because they look almost the same as the Cortez’s I grew up with! My daughter loves these shoes and part of the reason why is because she doesn’t have to tie them. She also likes how they look. She said they are very comfortable and fit perfectly but can feel a little bit tight due to the elastic (since there are no laces). The fabric is also not stretchy so that probably contributes to the tightness as well. I love the retro look to them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the retro design of the Pacific shoe. Very light weight and easy to get on and off. These are a great option for an everyday shoe. Also they are extremely comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall: Classic silhouette, premium materials and an oh so comfy fit. Easy to get on for little ones. This is a no brainer. Comfort: My kid loves it. Very easy to put on. Says the shoe is so comfortable and light, that it doesn’t feel like he has anything on. Grip: He loves the sole and finds them grippy and flexible. Durability: Not sure how lighter colors work but so far, the darker color has held up to a good week of abuse.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These quickly became one of my son’s favorite pairs of shoes, and not just because the elastic laces mean he doesn’t have to tie them. They’re clearly retro inspired, with a lot of the styling directly pulled from 70s runners like the Daybreak, but they have a lot of nice contemporary improvements. The heel is wider which means better stability, the forefoot doesn’t seem to taper as aggressively which means less pinky toe squishing, and the shoe has a helpful pull tab. As mentioned above, the laces are actually elastic which makes the shoe a slip-on, but they look like laces and probably will last longer than Velcro. The outsole is not a waffle pattern but rather a fun wavy one that provides solid grip. The fit is comfortable, plenty wide enough for my son’s standard width foot, and the cushioning is a nice balance of support and compression. They’re not too heavy and the quality is top notch with pretty nice materials throughout. The classic style in this black and white colorway in particular goes with pretty much everything, from casual shorts and tees to dressier fits (as long as they’re clean). If I were to make any changes, a gusseted tongue could be nice, especially since it’s a slip-on shoe which means the tongue is more likely to migrate or fold over, and maybe a bit more ventilation would be nice, but these are minor complaints. I would say fit is true to size, a bit bigger than his Air Max 90s but smaller than his Sabrinas in the same listed size. It’s a great model in Nike’s casual lineup and it will be seeing a lot of use here.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike Pacific Little Kids’ Shoes have a simple design that makes them easy to pair with almost anything. They work well whether they’re dressed up a bit or just worn casually, which makes them a practical everyday option. The fit felt comfortable overall, and once they were broken in they molded nicely and became easy for my child to wear throughout the day. The materials feel durable enough to hold up to regular use, which is always important with kids’ shoes. They also broke in fairly quickly, and after a short period they became much more flexible and comfortable. What I liked most was how versatile they were and how well they matched with different outfits. The main thing I would change is that they felt a little stiff when brand new, which made them slightly harder to get on at first. Once they broke in, though, that wasn’t much of an issue. Overall, they’re a comfortable, stylish, and durable option for everyday wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great kids shoe! It fits really well for wide feet, which can be hard to find. The classic OG Nike design looks awesome and never goes out of style. It’s also very durable and holds up great for active kids. Stylish and practical—definitely recommend!
Jessica
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are super lightweight and comfortable. They are way to get on and off which is important when picking out a shoe for a child. They seem like they would dry quickly when getting wet, which is also important. They are stylish and could be a little more dressy if the occasion called for it. All in all, a great versatile shoe that is perfect for the warmer weather.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loved these shoes. She did struggle at first to slip them on independently, but once she figured it out, she’s been able to do it with ease. I was a little nervous about the suede on the shoe – but it has held up nicely to normal wear and they are still very breathable. My daughter said to me “Mom, these are great shoes I wore them all day and my feet didn’t sweat too much, and they’re great in the mud and dirt!” Not exactly what a mom wants to hear, but so happy she loves them! She has also used them to "dress up" her normal school outfits which makes me happy that she can wear supportive shoes that she feels fancy in!
