Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Fashion
Corteiz is releasing Nike Shox R419 sneakers in Black, Metallic Silver, and Game Royal, with matching apparel launching alongside them. The collaboration follows a 2021 lawsuit in which Nike sued Corteiz over the Corteiz name.
Why it matters
The release brings together a London streetwear label and a major sportswear brand despite a prior legal dispute over the Corteiz name. It highlights how independent fashion brands are increasingly working with established athletic companies on coordinated sneaker and apparel drops.
The Shox R419 is offered in three colourways (Black, Metallic Silver, Game Royal), each paired with a matching apparel piece including track jackets, bottoms, AeroLoft vests, pro base layers, jerseys, and shorts. Retail pricing and exact availability have not been confirmed.

Culture Shift
The collaboration follows Nike's 2021 lawsuit against Corteiz over the Corteiz name, marking a shift from legal conflict to co-branded release between the two companies. It reflects a broader pattern in which independent streetwear labels partner with major sportswear brands to tap into resale-driven sneaker culture.
