The wait is finally over! Tiffany & Co has been putting out teasers of a crossover with Nike over the past week, with visuals of a Tiffany Blue sneaker box that hints at a potential shoe collaboration.
The American jeweller just dropped the first images of the Nike Air Force 1s featuring the house’s signature shade as part of the celebration surrounding the shoe’s 40th-anniversary celebration.
The Nike x Tiffany & Co Air Force 1 1837 is set to release on 7 March alongside a collection of sterling silver accessories marking the anniversary.
The black suede shoe is marked with a Tiffany Blue Swoosh and features a silver plaque engraved with the co-branding on each heel.
The collabo kicks will set you back US$400 if you can get your hands on them. The sneakers will be sold exclusively at the Tiffany & Co. flagship in New York City as well as the SoHo boutique, plus via Nike’s SNKRS app and selected retailers. There’s no word yet on how many pairs of these are available, but these will likely stir up plenty of interest in the sneaker community and on resale platforms.
Launched alongside the sneaker is a capsule collection of limited-edition sterling silver accessories, including a whistle, shoe horn, shoe brush and a dubrae, all engraved with the Nike x Tiffany & Co marking.
Tiffany & Co has a longstanding history with the sports world. The jeweller is a regarded trophy maker and has been handcrafting trophies for elite sports leagues, including the NBA and NFL and even for the e-sports tournament League of Legends.
