Nike and Tiffany & Co. Make Quite the Legendary Pair
Both brands announced the collaboration following leaked images went viral.
One is the pinnacle of sneaker excellence, and the other is a world-renowned jewelry brand. What happens when one meets the other in an electrifying collision of giants? The Legendary Pair, Tiffany & Co.’s take on the iconic Nike Air Force 1. After images of the sneakers leaked online over the weekend, both brands officially announced the collaboration, setting the sneaker world ablaze.
Via joint-Instagram post, the brands teased the release with an image of a Nike shoebox in Tiffany & Co.’s iconic robin egg blue shade.
Officially referred to as the Air Force 1 1837 – a hint at Tiffany’s founding year – the shoe is a premium black suede AF1 complete with a signature Tiffany Blue® Swoosh, co-branded silver badges on the heel, and “Tiffany” script across the tongue. Beyond just the sneakers, the collaboration also features the ultimate set of sterling silver accessories for sneakerheads, including a shoe horn, shoe brush, whistle, and deubré.
However, the collaboration isn’t Tiffany’s first dip into the world of streetwear and hype culture. In 2021, the jewelry powerhouse teamed up with the likes of Supreme and Patek Philippe, catapulting their brand onto the Instagrams of countless self-proclaimed hypebeasts and fashion aficionados. Collaborating with Nike proves yet again that the lines between buzzy lifestyle brands and timeless jewelry makers are increasingly blurring.
The much-anticipated Air Force 1 1837 will be available on the Nike SNKRS app, Tiffany’s two NYC flagships and select Nike retailers. The pair will retail for $400 USD.
