Nylites, born in 1967, were soon regarded as the first luxury sports shoe. These canvas tennis shoes reigned supreme on courts around the world in the 1970s.
With a distinct "v" toe shape and lightweight rubber outsole, today's Nylite maintains the same timeless design.
The Tretorn Nylite Canvas features a soft lining that provides sockless comfort. Traditionalists favor the tennis whites, but the color-contrasting Gullwing logo and lining offer a fun alternative.

I like the Tretorn canvas sneakers very well. I am wearing a 2-year old pair right now which I have been more than happy with. I ordered the new pair from you because my older ones are starting to fray; I wear them close to every day. My existing pair has been very satisfactory. The things I like about them are: 1) they are not loud, i.e. garish and splashy; 2) they are very comfortable and easy to walk in and live with; and 3) they are versatile and relatively light-weight. For a foot sneaker, they are just plain nice; and they are made of cotton (for the most part) not oil. That's all. Thanks for your interest. John

I bought the sneakers (is that what you still call them?) for my boat, because they were low profile and looked like they could fit under the tow rail of my boat while I fished. When they arrived and I tried them on, I found them so comfy, I use them for all purposes, not only for my boat. They minimize my foot size and, as a result, minimize other parts of my body (which is good and bad).

These fit well, and the color and style are good. The comfort is great, and the shoe is as advertised

I have yet to use the new tennis shoes. They are back ups for when my present shoes are too worn to be used.
Still the same

Always enjoyed these shoes in "the old days" and was pleased to discover they're still available and still light and comfortable.
