Editor's Notes: Renowned across not only the city it calls home but across all corners of the globe, CORTEIZ has spent the past few years becoming one of Gen Z’s most talked about brands, thanks to its high-energy viral marketing campaigns.
From a puffer jacket exchange to 99p cargo pants, every move that CORTEIZ has made has been carefully curated to drum up the most hype and frenzy possible. Hugely successful in doing so, it was only a matter of time before it slipped onto the radar of industry institutions.
Nike’s London imprint has always kept an ear to the streets, tapping into the communities driving conversation online, such as The Basement, from a collaborative perspective.
Following teases via the CORTEIZ and Nike Instagram pages, founder @Clint419 has revealed the upcoming pair in full.
Seen in a spoof of Bella Hadid’s infamous Complex Sneaker Shopping episode, the CORTEIZ Air Max 95 blends a palette of mixed green hues, mimicking the AM95 “Neon” OG’s gradient sidewall.
The top portion of the shoe, which is traditionally constructed in mesh, has been switched out for a fishnet fabrication, while suede is replaced by leather.
For the finishing touches, strikes of yellow color the Air bubbles, and embroidered Cortiez branding at the toe, heel, and tongue.
