Nike and Tiffany & Co. to launch US$400 sneakers: the Air Force 1 ‘1837’ limited-edition shoe collaboration comes after the LVMH brand worked with Beyoncé and Jay-Z – but some are calling it ‘lazy’
It’s official: a Nike and Tiffany & Co. collaboration trainer is on the way!
The trainer, dubbed the Nike Air Force 1 Low Tiffany & Co. “1837” features an all-black nubuck leather on the upper with a swoosh in Tiffany blue, the light medium robin’s egg blue of the brand’s jewellery boxes, according to unofficial images leaked online.
The collaboration has been rumoured for weeks, but is now expected to release this spring and retail for US$400. Shoe quantities will be very limited, according to Sole Retriever.
The shoe marks Tiffany & Co’s first collaboration with Nike. But in 2005, the jeweller’s banner colours were the inspiration for the Diamond Supply Co and Nike SB Dunk lauded by skateboarders and sneakerheads alike. Resale for the shoe starts at US$1,850 on StockX.
So far, trainer collectors on Twitter are not as impressed with the upcoming Nike and Tiffany & Co. collaboration. Some are calling the shoe design lazy.
