Clint419’s Corteiz has just presented a brand-new collection and it sees the London-based imprint expand its mainline of garments while slightly deviating away from the Alcatraz-adorned styles that have set the UK alight with its immersive pop-ups that come with a moment’s notice.
If you’re from the UK — and even if you have never purchased from Corteiz — then you will know about the cultural impact the brand has had on the country. Stretching back to the imprint’s BOLO Exchange pop-up — which saw CRTZ allow fans to swap old puffer jackets in exchange for its BOLO puffer — it set the levels for what can be possible when a once-bedroom idea can be marketed properly in line with high-profile co-signs and an overarching sense of exclusivity.
Since CRTZ’s BOLO Exchange, the brand has continued to build, which in turn, resulted in the brand’s high-profile collaboration with Nike on the still-in-demand Air Max 95 silhouette. The release of the sneaker led to streetwear-frenzied, inner-city invasions in London, New York, and Paris, and now, it appears that the entire world is looking at what Clint419 has planned next.
Now, with a newly-found global audience, Corteiz has expanded. Steering away from the consistently-dropped tracksuit co-ords and accessories, the label’s new collection still keeps them at its core, however, it also welcomes new experimental pieces that tap into denim, velour, gorp-core, and biker-influence.
Collection highlights come in the form of the new denim co-ord set, that presents customary CRTZ motifs in raised stitching, while distressed T-shirts also tap into earthy tones with U.S. motorcycle motifs. Rounding off the drop, Clint419 presents new waterproof jacket-shorts sets — fronted by UK rapper Cityboymoe — and new accessories, with the latter taking on a Paul Smith-esc print with a stitched CRTZ logo.
You can take a closer look at the new collection from Corteiz above and it will be available to shop via the brands official website from May 26 at 7 p.m. GMT.
