Corteiz x Nike Shox R419 Metallic Silver: release date, £174.99 price and where to buy

The Corteiz x Nike Shox R419 "Metallic Silver and University Red" (IQ9951-001) goes on sale on 20 November 2026 from 8:00 on Nike SNKRS, and the price on Nike's UK launch page is £174.99 (read on 9 November 2026). Nike SNKRS is the only UK sales channel we can confirm today. No retailer has announced that it will get the pair, and trade sites describe the distribution as limited, with no promise that it will reach every shop.

Nike's UK SNKRS launch page lists availability on 20 November at 8:00 and a price of £174.99. The date on the page has no year, but with today's date (9 November 2026) it means Friday 20 November 2026. The page does not say whether the sale will be a draw or first come, first served, nor which sizes will be released, so we do not present those details as facts. Sneakerjagers says every pair in the collection comes in unisex sizing, but that comes from the site, not from Nike.

What the Shox R419 "Metallic Silver" looks like

Nike describes the design like this: Clint Ogbenna built a new frame around the toe box to show off his C-Star logo, and he changed the CRTZ Shox logos on the tongue, heel and outsole. A TPU overlay inspired by the debossed contours of the original picks out the futuristic lines of the shoe in metallic silver.

Trade sites add details that are not in Nike's description: a mesh toe, horizontal ridges on the panels, exposed columns under the heel and a base layer with a texture close to carbon fibre. The name "Silver Surfer" appears in previews from Sneaker News and Sneaker Bar Detroit. According to Sneaker Files the insoles carry the logos of both brands, and Just Fresh Kicks mentions a small bolt washer with Corteiz and Nike branding in the box. Nike does not confirm the washer, so we treat it as low-reliability information.

Where the name R419 comes from and which model it reworks

The Shox R4 debuted in 2000. The name R419 refers to Clint419, the handle Ogbenna uses online, as Sneaker Bar Detroit reports. According to Sneakerjagers the classic four-column Shox cushioning stays, while the side panels get their own Corteiz details. It is the next Nike collaboration from Corteiz after the Air Max 95 and the Air Trainer Huarache.

The other colourways and the apparel

According to Sole Retriever the collection has three pairs: Metallic Silver (IQ9951-001), Black (IQ9951-002) and Game Royal (IQ9951-400). In previews the Game Royal pair is called "Mystique" and the black pair "Black Widow". An apparel line comes with it, which Sneakerjagers puts at nine pieces.

Hypebeast reported on 2 November that the Mystique pair and the apparel would go on sale through r419.com on 4 November at 7 PM London time, with worldwide shipping. We have not checked how that sale went. Our conclusion: since Mystique had its own date and Metallic Silver has 20 November on SNKRS, the colours drop separately and through different channels. That fits HotNewHipHop's remark that Corteiz staggered its earlier drops.

Where to buy: Nike SNKRS, Corteiz and retailers

Two channels are confirmed. The first is Nike SNKRS in the UK, with the release on 20 November from 8:00. The second is the brand's own page, r419.com, where you can sign up for release alerts, but we have no confirmation that the Metallic Silver pair will be sold there.

Third-party shops are not confirmed. Sneaker Files writes that the collection is limited and will not reach every shop, and Just Fresh Kicks notes that a retailer launch has not been confirmed. For the earlier Air Max 95 releases, sales ran mainly through the Corteiz store and Nike SNKRS. Our conclusion: the most likely scenario is a SNKRS-only sale, and a pair at a third-party shop would be a possible extra.

Shops in the UK where the pair could appear

The list below is our conclusion based on the profile of these shops (multi-brand sneaker retailers), not information from Nike, Corteiz or the shops themselves. None of them has confirmed that it will sell the Shox R419 "Metallic Silver". Check the shop's site or social media on release day.

• Nike SNKRS UK: confirmed, release on 20 November from 8:00, price £174.99

• JD Sports: not confirmed, JD Sports page on Soleback

• END.: not confirmed, END. page on Soleback

• Size?: not confirmed, no Soleback store page linked

• Footpatrol: not confirmed, no Soleback store page linked

• Offspring: not confirmed, no Soleback store page linked

The links lead to shop pages on Soleback and do not mean the shop has this model. We do not give affiliate links to shops where the pair is not confirmed.

How to prepare for the SNKRS release

• Sign in to your Nike account before 20 November so you are not logging in under pressure at 8:00.

• Fill in your delivery address and payment method in advance so you do not lose time on forms.

• Check your size in other Shox models, because Nike does not list sizing on the launch page.

• Open the launch page just before 8:00 and refresh it to see how Nike runs the sale.

Cashback on Soleback for this release

Soleback works with more than 740 shops (home page read on 9 November 2026) and shows cashback of up to 14 per cent. Check the exact rate, the exclusions and the confirmation time on the shop's own card. The exclusions on shop cards include sales, hot releases and discount codes, so do not assume that cashback will cover a pair from a limited release. Nike has no cashback card on Soleback, so a purchase on SNKRS does not earn a refund. A discount code from outside Soleback can block the cashback.

Where the sources disagree

• Date: Nike gives 20 November. Earlier reports pointed to autumn 2026 and to holiday 2026, and Sneakerjagers on 19 October mentioned 31 October for the UK. We treat Nike's page as the primary source.

• Sales channels: Sneakerjagers expected the Corteiz webstore and SNKRS, Sole Retriever wrote about Nike and select retailers, and Just Fresh Kicks said retailers were not confirmed. Only SNKRS is confirmed.

• Price: earlier previews quoted prices in a different currency, and one site listed £180.00 for the Game Royal pair. For the Metallic Silver pair we use only the £174.99 shown on Nike's UK page.

How reliable the sources are

• High: the Nike SNKRS UK launch page (date, time, price, description of the design), read on 9 November 2026

• Medium: Hypebeast, Sneaker News, Sneakerjagers and Sole Retriever (colourways, style codes, look of the shoe, sales announcements)

• Low: single sites on the bolt washer and the insoles

• Conclusion: the list of shops and the view that SNKRS is the most likely channel

What to do depending on your situation

• You want the pair at retail price: get your Nike account and payment ready, and open SNKRS at 8:00 on 20 November.

• You prefer a sneaker shop: follow the shops on the list above, and when one announces the model, check its card for cashback and exclusions.

• You miss out on a pair: for the earlier Air Max 95 releases Corteiz ran further sales, for example a restock of the "Pink Beam" and a SNKRS release of the "Honey Black" after an earlier sale, but there is no guarantee of that for the Shox R419.
