Nike & Tiffany Unveil Long-Awaited Sneakers With Sterling Silver Hardware
Less than a week after Nike teased its forthcoming collaboration with Tiffany & Co, the sportswear label has officially released images of the Nike x Tiffany & Co Air Force 1 1837, which are scheduled to pop up on shelves on March 7, 2023.
Over the past weekend, leaked images of the highly-anticipated item had blown up across social media, leading both brands to first unveil an image of the pair’s special Tiffany Blue sneaker box, and now, the real thing.
The classic Air Force 1 silhouette has been elevated with a luxurious black suede outer, featuring sterling silver badges on each heel for that extra “bling.” Within the box, sneakerheads will receive a sterling shoehorn, shoe brush, whistle, and dubrae (metal shoelace ornament).
As noted by GQ, Tiffany & Co has been steadily expanding into the streetwear space since it joined LVMH in 2021, gaining immense popularity with both its Supreme and Patek Philippe partnerships in recent years.
This time is a little different, however, as it’s the first time the jeweler is lending its name, hue, and hardware to footwear. Could fans eventually see more collaborations between the luxury brand and other shoemakers in the future?
There’s no doubt these kicks will sell out almost immediately, so be prepared at either Tiffany’s two New York City flagship stores, select Nike retailers, or on the Nike SNKRS application when the shoes officially launch for US$400.
