Corteiz Saved Its Best (& Hairiest) Nike Huarache Till Last
There is a third Nike x Corteiz Air Huarache sneaker on the way. And it is not like the rest.
Corteiz’s previous two takes on Nike’s old-school basketball sneakers have featured neutral-hued, rugged overlays above a green-colored camo base. But according to photos circulating online, a third sneaker is arriving that doesn’t keep to this formula.
Rendered in all-black, the upcoming sneaker has a hairy finish. Like, literally, the majority of the upper is covered in what looks like black pony hair.
The shoe’s bristly overlays are joined by dark black and green camo panels along with a mesh velcro strap.
The release of this third colorway is, for now, unconfirmed, but its existence would make sense: Nike and Corteiz’s first sneaker release, a collaborative Air Max 90, also came in a trio of colorways.
Also, since the first two Corteiz x Nike Air Huarache releases have included matching apparel capsules, there’s a chance we’ll get matching fuzzy clothing to go with the shoe.
The only way to know for sure what’s coming up is to keep a close eye on Corteiz and its founder Clint's social media platforms.
The brand, a leading voice from the new generation of streetwear labels, tends to announce the release of new products or pop-ups, often without warning, exclusively via social media.
And good luck! Corteiz drops famously sell out fast, plus, sometimes, the brand leads you on a wild goose chase to secure anything.
