It barely took a whole day for Tiffany & Co. to fully unveil its major collaboration with Nike. Whether that was the plan all along or either brand simply couldn’t afford any more leaked images popping up, this high-end joint effort remains the year’s biggest shoe — for now, at least.
As countless photos suggested through the rumor mill, this collaborative take on the all-time famous Air Force 1 silhouette boasts a blacked-out suede upper, sole, and Tiffany blue swoosh. It is further embellished with a Tiffany-branded patch on the tongue to acknowledge the shoe-game-shifting partnership. Of course, the limited edition pair is packaged in the signature-colored shoebox that first hinted at the release.
And while they are already dropping one of the most coveted pairs of kicks for hypebeasts and fashion aficionados alike, the world-famous companies couldn’t just leave it that. In addition to the Air Force 1 1837 (named after the expert jeweler’s founding year), the capsule is equipped with a gluttony of hooper-approved, sterling silver-made accessories, including a shoe horn, shoe brush, whistle, and dubraes. In the long run, expecting these to live up to the appeal of the iconic Diamond Supply Co. Dunks may be a bold claim, but it’s more plausible than you’d think. As Nike’s recent collection with Louis Vuitton remains one of last year’s most coveted releases across the fashion world, don’t be surprised to see this follow suit.
Although prices for the accessories have not been officially unveiled, the shoes will be available through participating Nike and Tiffany retailers, as well as the SNKRS app, on March 7 for $400.
