After the Air Max 95 and the Air Trainer Huarache, Corteiz is taking on the Nike Shox. The Shox R4, first released in 2000, becomes the Shox R419, a direct nod to the alias of Clint, founder of the London label. Three colourways have been announced: Metallic Silver, Black and Game Royal, all accented with University Red. The release is expected between late October and early November 2026, with no French date confirmed so far.
Why this collaboration matters
Corteiz is no longer just a London streetwear label: since 2023, every Nike pair signed by Clint419 has sold out very quickly, from the Air Max 95 “Gutta Green” to the 2025 “Honey Black”, by way of the 2024 Air Trainer Huarache. Choosing the Shox R4 is no coincidence. Nike's column model left its mark on the streets of London in the early 2000s and has been enjoying a real comeback for the past two years, driven by the Y2K revival.
The detail that changes everything: the “419” isn't printed, it's moulded directly into the sole and the side panels. Clint unveiled the silver pair on Instagram next to a Mercedes in the same colour, and a nine-piece apparel capsule (football jerseys, nylon tracksuits, shorts, utility vest) accompanies the release. For Corteiz fans and Shox lovers alike, this is the pair of the year's end.
The 3 colourways in detail
Silver Surfer, Clint's silver · IQ9951-001
This is the version Clint showed first. The Metallic Silver upper picks up the retro-futuristic lines of the R4, with ribbed side panels and a carbon-style finish. Laces, lining and the top of the tongue switch to black, while the “C” and the CRTZ SHOX logo are in University Red. Style code IQ9951-001, announced price $180 in the US; availability in France to be confirmed.
Black Widow, the easiest to wear · IQ9951-002
Black base, University Red accents and Metallic Silver touches on the columns: the “Black Widow” is the easiest colourway to work into an outfit, and probably the most sought after. The official colourway is Black/Black-University Red-Metallic Silver, style code IQ9951-002. Same announced price as the other two versions; European price to be confirmed when it goes online.

In stock · Sizes available from 36 to 48.5
Mystique, the Game Royal blue · IQ9951-400
The “Mystique” dresses the Shox R419 in a deep Game Royal blue, with a silver Swoosh and University Red and black details. It's the colourway closest to Corteiz's football DNA, and the one most reminiscent of the 2000s Shox R4. Style code IQ9951-400. As with the other two pairs, the European release date is still to be confirmed.
Price and release date
The price reported by sneaker media is $180 in the US and £180 in the UK. No European price has been announced by Nike or Corteiz: expect a similar figure, to be confirmed on release day. As for timing, the window mentioned runs from late October to early November 2026, with Saturday 31 October circulating for the UK. Other sources point to December instead. Neither Nike nor Corteiz has confirmed a date, and Corteiz usually launches its pairs with an in-person activation before the online release. Registration is already open on r419.com.
Where to buy the Corteiz x Nike Shox R419 in France
There are three options. First, the Corteiz website: registering on r419.com (name, country, size, colourway) gives you access to launch information, and Corteiz drops are often organised by city or by country. Second, Nike SNKRS, which hosted some of the previous collaborations; nothing has been announced for this pair, so we're keeping an eye on the app. Third, resellers and the secondary market: at The Last Step, we're following the release closely and this article will be updated on the day with the available product pages. Until then, the Nike Shox collection and the Corteiz x Nike pairs already in stock are available in our stores in Montpellier, Biarritz and Toulouse and on thelaststep.fr.

How to wear the Shox R419 this autumn
The Shox works best with volume down below: wide-leg jeans or nylon sweatpants that break over the tongue, and a more fitted top to balance the silhouette. A full Corteiz look works, for example with the Corteiz x Nike NRG Gully Grey jacket, but all three colourways also go with a simple black hoodie. If you're torn between several Shox, our Nike Shox collection brings together the R4, TL and Ride 2 in stock, and our selection of the best men's sneakers in 2026 puts the Shox among the pairs that matter this year.
