CORTEIZ has been having an amazing 2023 - their 5th year in business 🔥
The past few drops have been real crowdpleasers, with some even saying the last one was the best drop ever! Clint419 has, without doubt, taken the necessary steps to prove his brand not only lives up to the hype but can also hold its own without relying too heavily on the potency of the Alcatraz icon 💯
Earlier in the year, Corteiz was underfire as critics, and disgruntled supporters of the brand questioned its creative direction ⁉️
Shortly after the CRTZ x Nike collab was announced in January, Reece Wabara (head of Maniere De Voir) put out a tweet that many took as a direct reference to the trajectory of Corteiz (slide 2) 📉
Later, in April, Corteiz did their annual anniversary drop, which was also met with much criticism from the brands supporters as they felt the pieces lacked imagination. These remarks led to others alleging that Clint is always dressed in dope, unreleased pieces, which he never drops 🕳
(Tbf, in this week's drop, Clint's finally releasing the varsity jacket he's been rocking since the start of the year 😅)
By the looks of things, the designs are improving, and Clint is really taking the time to source and tap in with manufacturers that can bring his vision for Corteiz to life ✨️
