Spotted on pop culture figures like Jorja Smith, slowthai, Stormzy, and more, Corteiz has been making massive waves in the underground fashion scene and continues its meteoric rise into 2023 all through viral social media moments. While the brand previously held drops such as “DA GREAT BOLO EXCHANGE” in which customers had to trade North Face Nuptse Jackets to receive Corteiz jackets, their upcoming teased collaboration with Nike is likely to stick to a more traditional route.
In the weeks following the teaser of the collaboration between Nike and Corteiz, photos emerged of Corteiz's take on the Nike Air Max 95. Clint, founder of Corteiz, takes an earth-toned approach to the color scheme of his first collaborative piece of footwear as olive green hues take over the leather panels along the profile while a lighter shade of olive appears on the mesh, laces, and tongue. Corteiz branding is spotted along the lateral heel, toe, and tongue while the design comes complete with a blacked-out midsole and outsole featuring neon green hits on the visible Air units. Later two other colorways were revealed that featured darker shades of gridiron and black mixed with pink branding details on one rendition and blue on the other.
The Corteiz x Nike Air Max 95 in its three colorways are set to release in 2023. Corteiz announced that the "Sequioa" pair will launch on their website (crtz.xyz) on March 10th, 2023 at 2:00 PM ET/11:00 AM PT and following this the "Gridiron Pink Beam" will drop at a pop-up in NYC on March 21st, 2023 with the location revealed on the day of the drop. This pink pair will also see a release online via Corteiz's website on March 24th, 2023 at 3:00 PM EDT/12:00 PM PDT.
The "Aegean Storm" pair is set to release on April 14th, 2023 through crtz.xyz. Like previous Corteiz website drops, shipping will be limited to Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
