Now that’s a Tiffany sneaker.
Nike’s announcement with Tiffany & Co revealing they were tying up for collaborative footwear was met with much fanfare. Alas, when sneakerheads learned that the shoes would be all-black with only a slight swoosh of the robin-egg treatment, some were left feeling a little blue indeed.
True-blue fashionistas might be pleased to learn that the brands have one more design up their sleeve, and this one should be closer to what many have had in mind. Ahead of the Nike x Tiffany & Co launch on March 7, Alexandre Arnault—son of LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault and Tiffany’s executive VP of Product and Communications—has pulled the wraps off a version that’s nearly all Tiffany blue.
The surprise low-top is splashed in the luxurious paint job on the leather upper and outsole, and is balanced out with a white midsole and silver hardware on the heel. The shoe is punctuated with black on the Swoosh, laces, sides, tongue, and upper heel, creating an alter ego for the black iteration.

Unfortunately, there’s a chance this variation won’t be available for retail. Sneaker news sites are speculating that this is a friends-and-family-only design, suggesting that it could be exclusive to celebrities.

Though, one can only dream, can’t they? And if those dreams are dashed, they could still gawk at these AI remakes.
