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, but now boasts a variety of materials and colorways.
The Nylite Canvas features a plush terry lining that provides sockless comfort. Traditionalists favor the tennis whites, but the color contrasting Gullwing logo offers a fun alternative.

When I heard you could no longer get Tretorns, in their orginal style a couple of years ago, I started rationing my wear on the two pairs I had left. When I found these I was so excited!

I first bought this kind of shoe in the early 90s. They were great then and they're great now. Because I'm older and have a foot problem, I took the insoles out and put in gelsoles. I bought the wide width too. I'm on my feet a lot at work, so I wanted to make sure there was plenty of room. I've bought walking shoes that cost over $100, and they just didn't make my feet happy. I'm really happy with these shoes and will be ordering more.
Wears this shoe: At work and whenever I have a lot of walking to do.

Had never heard of Tretorn, but when I found out about how popular they were years ago and had made a come back, had to have a pair. I don't regret it.
Wears this shoe: Great weekend sneaker, good for shopping.
