How Clint419 Came To Rule Streetwear

From humble beginnings in his bedroom to a dominant force in streetwear, meet @clint419 , the British-Nigerian entrepreneur behind Corteiz.

Starting with modest prints, Corteiz has evolved into a powerhouse in the fashion industry. However, Corteiz wasn't Clint's first foray into fashion. Prior to its inception, there was Cade on The Map, a venture that saw fleeting success. Undeterred, Clint embarked on a new journey, giving birth to Corteiz, a brand veiled in mystique and intrigue.

Following the strategy of industry giants like Supreme, Clint's designs piqued interest with limited releases and discreet pop-up events. The outcome? A fervent demand for Corteiz.
With its iconic logo depicting the Alcatraz prison and the slogan "Corteiz Rules the World," the brand stands as a symbol of rebellion against convention.

Endorsements from notable figures such as Central Cee and Stormzy propelled Corteiz to prominence, culminating in noteworthy events like the Bolo jacket swap for the homeless. During the event, held on January 21st, 2022, Corteiz orchestrated a unique exchange where attendees traded their own jackets for one of fifty exclusive Bolo jackets. Chaos ensued as fans stormed the streets, leaping fences for a chance at these coveted pieces. The collected loot, ranging from North Face to Moncler and even a rare Drake x Nike Nocta gem, was later donated to the homeless community, reflecting Corteiz's commitment to social responsibility.

In the aftermath, the online release of the Bolo jackets sold out within minutes, propelling Corteiz into viral fame and catching the attention of industry heavyweights. This groundbreaking event not only showcased Corteiz's innovative approach but also highlighted its impact beyond the fashion realm.

In a landscape where streetwear risks losing its essence, Corteiz emerges as a beacon of innovation. The future holds endless possibilities for this groundbreaking brand.
