A Classic Returns.
Corteiz’s Nike Air Trainer Huarache brings back a certified 90s classic, and we’re not complaining.
In a landscape where regurgitated sneaker silhouettes shine whilst also often coming second to the dress shoe, it’s nice to see a heritage sneaker being given the backing it deserves, this time around with UK streetwear titans Corteiz. Having been teased over the past week or so, including a starry drone announcement over London’s night sky, Corteiz x Nike returns for yet another season, with the duo having previously released a trio fo Air Max 95 colourways just last year. Here, we see the old but gold Nike Air Trainer Huarache get a collaborative treatment, with the high-top pair arriving in a clean and smooth “Stone” suede for the most of the upper, being underlapped by a green camouflage print. The perforated toe box includes a subtly stitched Nike Swoosh, whilst a signature Corteiz star logo also finds itself embroidered to the front of the toe. Lastly, the caged ankle, rear heel tab, an “AIR HUARACHE BY CRTZ” logo tongue tab, and co-branded velcro strapping on the upper keep this pair honest to the original silhouette.
Arriving alongside the new dose of Corteiz x Nike footwear are some matching garments, with Clint 419’s design style being clear to see. A co-branded stone grey tracksuit boasting white piping again nods to Nike silhouettes of yesteryear, whilst cherry red football jerseys, denim and tracksuit co-ords, t-shirts, and zip-up sweaters lean more in the direction of Corteiz.
Stay tuned to PAUSE for more release information as it arrives.
