Corteiz Alcatraz Cargo Shorts Triple Black

The Corteiz Alcatraz Cargo Shorts in Triple Black are the summer version of the cargo that built the brand. Triple black means black fabric, black hardware and black stitching, with no contrast anywhere.

What Alcatraz stands for on a Corteiz piece

The Alcatraz mark is the brand's own emblem, and the reference is deliberate. Breaking out rather than fitting in. Clint Ogbenna built Corteiz around that idea from 2017 onwards, and the island logo has appeared on nearly every core piece since.

Why triple black is the one to own

Cargo shorts live or die on how loud they are. A camo or a two-tone pair dictates the rest of the outfit. Triple black does not, so it goes with any tee you already own. If you are buying one pair of Corteiz shorts, this is the pair that will actually get worn.

Fit and sizing

• Wide through the thigh, finishing below the knee
• Deep utility pockets on the leg
• Take your usual size rather than sizing down
• Cut to sit on the waist rather than the hip
• Available in S, M, L and XL

How to wear them

Volume on the bottom half needs a boxy top to balance it, not a fitted one. A heavier trainer works better than a slim one, because a wide short over a low-profile shoe leaves the proportions bottom-heavy.

Care

• Cold wash at 30 degrees, inside out, with darks
• Empty the cargo pockets first, as loose items tear seams in the drum
• Hang dry rather than tumble to protect the leg length
• No fabric softener on cotton twill
