Nike and Tiffany & Co. are gearing up to launch one of the most coveted kicks of 2023.
As the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s by Virgil Abloh were some of the most sought-after sneakers of 2022, many sneaker watchers, including GQ, are expecting the collaborative Air Force 1 1837—a nod to Tiffany & Co.’s founding year—to become instant classics.
Hypebeast points out that the premium black suede upper is emblazoned with a tumbled leather Nike Swoosh in Tiffany’s trademarked shade of robin egg blue, while the entire sole, laces and pebbled leather overlays are rendered in black.
The outer tongue is branded with white “Tiffany” script in cursive, and the heel features a metallic badge stamped with “925,” a reference to American silver standard set by Tiffany & Co. at 925 per 1,000 parts silver.
An all-sterling silver accessory collection accompanies the collaborative kicks: a shoe horn, shoe brush, a whistle, and the AF1 lace clips with T, C, and O overlaid lettering. All of these are sold separately from the shoes.
While the Nike x Tiffany & Co. AF1 1837 sneakers don’t launch until March 7 online and at select physical locations, the brands are already building hype with an Instagram pic of a Tiffany Blue Nike shoebox simply captioned “a legendary pair.”
If you’re quick enough to buy them from either brand before they’re sold out, expect the shoes to retail for $400 and the silver accessory collection to retail between $250 and $475.
