If you can see it, you can be it 💥💫
Our history books will likely view the bond between Skepta and Clint419 with similar cultural significance to Jay and Ye's relationship (without the fall out, hopefully 🤞🏾)
The two have openly expressed an immense amount of respect for one another and clearly have much in common. Both are proud British-Nigerian creatives from North/North West London, with a fondness for fashion. And both have iconic sneaker collabs with Nike 👟
Clint got off to a rocky start with Nike due to his brand name "Corteiz" being too close to "Cortez", one of Nike's most popular sneakers. But that didn't stop him from dropping a collab with his favourite footwear brand just two years after they had his trademark invalidated 💼™️
When Clint started Corteiz he was just 20 years old, and while he certainly deserves a lot of credit for what he's accomplished over the years, there's no doubt that the people he's kept around him along the way have played a key role in his success.
Skepta was already an active DJ in the underground music scene when Clint was just five years old. He's now a globally recognised musician, high fashion model, Global Ambassador to Puma, and much more. All the lessons he's learned and connections he's made over the years make him an invaluable friend and mentor to Clint💯
