UPDATE 29/04/2025:
London-based streetwear brand Corteiz has officially confirmed the launch of its latest collaboration with Nike, regrouping around the hot topic Air Max 95 to outfit the model with a stealthy new look that coincides with the 30-year anniversary of Sergio Lozano’s rugged runner.
The latest entry from Corteiz and Nike looks to help the argument that the Air Max 95 is a true “London shoe” - after much contention between the capital city and Liverpool - especially in the past few weeks as Air Max 95 fever reached boiling point following the “blink and you’ll miss it” release of the anniversary “Neon Big Bubble” iteration that’s now selling for over double its retail price on secondary markets.
Joining Cortez’s run of “Gutta Green”, ”Aegean Storm” and “Pink Beam” Nike Air Max 95 colourways from 2023, the latest iteration, dubbed “Honey Black”, follows the same formula of darker-toned uppers with contrasting neon detailing - materialised here in the form of gradient-less black leather panels highlighted by bright yellow branding hits and air units to match.
The release was announced with a frenetic video campaign showing off the worldwide appeal of Corteiz as a brand, while also exhibiting the unlimited applications of Nike’s Air Max 95 - be it for a quick-game of 5-a-side, dirtbike rideouts on the estate or studio sessions with legendary UK emcees JME and Skepta.
Corteiz has also revealed a coordinating lineup of apparel to drop alongside its “Honey Black” Air Max 95s - redesigning brand staples like tracksuits, jerseys, and sweats to suit the stealthy design profile of its centrepiece collaboration.
Priced at £170 GBP/ $190 USD, the Corteiz x Nike Air Max 95 “Honey Black” will release exclusively via the Corteiz website on Wednesday, April 30.
UPDATE 09/03/2025:
Corteiz has just confirmed the release window for its latest Nike Air Max 95 collaboration, delivering a fresh take on the silhouette that’s slated to drop later this April.
Returning to work on the silhouette that kicked off the duo’s fruitful partnership in 2023, Corteiz adds to its “Gutta Green”, ”Aegean Storm” and “Pink Beam” Nike Air Max 95 colourways with a new, stealthier combination dubbed by the official Corteiz Instagram account as the ”Honey Blacks”.
As per early stock images that surfaced back in September, we can expect the shoe to feature bright “honey” yellow highlights set against black leather uppers, with more of the same branding placements and details carried over from the initial run of Corteiz Air Max 95s.
Considering Corteiz’s history with maximising release hype through physical activations across some of the world’s most iconic cities, the inclusion of a “Rio de Janeiro” location tag on their announcement post hints towards potential for a chaotic drop day in Brazil when the shoe drops in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned for official details.

Corteiz’s next big-name collaboration with Nike is now set in stone, as images have surfaced showing the fourth Air Max 95 design to come from the partnership, this time opting for an even stealthier outlook than that of Corteiz’s initial, headline-grabbing trio from 2023.
Corteiz’s debut collaboration with Nike was a huge milestone for the brand.
Not only were the streetwear savvy crowds of London, New York and Paris treated to rambunctious physical drop-days, where founder Clint flexed his guerrilla-marketing muscles, but the wider streetwear community was put on notice that Corteiz is a serious player in the game and after ramping up production quality and celebrity endorsements, before dropping another major partnership with Supreme, Corteiz continues to rule the world, with yet another Nike collaboration looming large.
