Corteiz OG Island Tee: The Alcatraz Logo Explained

The Corteiz OG Island Tee is a Corteiz T-shirt built around the brand's Alcatraz Island logo. The island stands for a prison, and the idea behind it is escape: breaking out of the restraints society places on you to do what you actually want. Three versions are live now: 'Reflective Black' (2025), 'Black' and 'White' (2023).

The OG Island Tee 'Reflective Black' (2025) is live now at PUSHAS, alongside the wider Corteiz range, and every piece is authenticated by hand. Below: where the Alcatraz logo comes from, how the brand drops its pieces, and ideas for wearing the tee in black, white and reflective black.

Who is behind Corteiz

Corteiz was started in 2017 in London by its founder Clint, who goes by Clint419 online. The brand's attitude is summed up in its tagline, "Rules The World".

What the Alcatraz logo means

The Corteiz logo shows Alcatraz Island and its prison. Clint has explained the idea in interviews: living in society can feel like being in a prison, and Corteiz is about escaping the restraints you grew up with to pursue what you really want to do.

On the OG Island Tee, that logo is the main graphic, so the story travels with the tee wherever you wear it.

The drop model: passwords and locations

The brand's website is password-protected. Alongside the online drops, Corteiz runs in-person releases where the location is only revealed on social media on the day of the drop.

In 2023 Corteiz released a collaboration on the Nike Air Max 95. For the OG Island Tee, the story is the logo, the password and the location drop.

The three colourways

The OG Island Tee 'Reflective Black' (2025) is the hero of this guide. The 'Reflective Black' colourway carries the island logo, and you can see it in detail on the live listing.

The OG Island Logo Tee 'Black' puts the island logo on a black tee. It works as an everyday piece in a Corteiz wardrobe.

The OG Island Tee 'White' (2023) flips the palette to white. Try the white tee layered under an overshirt.

How it fits and how to style it

Sizing reports for the OG Island Tee are limited, so check the size chart on each listing before you choose, and compare it against a tee you already own and like the fit of. If in doubt, measure.

For styling, try the 'Reflective Black' colourway with black cargos and a dark shell jacket for an all-black look. The 'Black' logo tee works with washed denim and a pair of Air Max, a nod to the brand's own Nike collaboration. The white tee works under an open overshirt or a varsity jacket, with light-wash jeans or track pants. For a full Corteiz look, try any of the three with cargos; for something more restrained, let the tee be the only branded piece and keep the rest of the outfit plain.

In colder months, try the tee under a zip-up hoodie or a bomber, with the island logo showing at the chest. In summer, it works on its own with shorts and a clean pair of runners.
