The post teased fans with a simple picture of the iconic Tiffany Blue box, paired with Nike’s white swoosh. The Nike x Tiffany collaboration has generated a lot of excitement and hype amongst fans of both brands. The unique combination of sportswear and luxury has fans eagerly awaiting its release.
The Details
The Nike x Tiffany Air Force 1 1873 is a limited-edition collaboration between the sportswear brand Nike and the jewelry company Tiffany & Co. The Air Force 1, being one of Nike’s fan favourite styles, and 1873 being the year Tiffany & Co. was founded, combine to create the legendary pair. As expected, the Nike x Tiffany Air Force 1 1873 sneakers come packaged in a classic Tiffany Blue box. The collaboration appeals to fans of both brands and offers a unique and highly coveted collection that blends the best of both worlds.
The Nike x Tiffany Air Force 1 1873s are set to retail for $400. Available in both women’s and men’s sizes, be sure to sign up here for the latest updates. The collaboration features classic design elements from both Tiffany & Co. and Nike. Nike’s classic and fan-favourite Air Force 1 design is showcased in a low-top, suede, all-black colour. While Tiffany’s design elements are represented by the classic Tiffany Blue coloured Nike swoosh, Tiffany script sewn onto the tongue tag, and the 925 sterling silver heel tabs.
The Accessories
Not only does this collaboration include a pair of killer Air Force 1s, but it also features a collection of sterling silver accessories. In true Tiffany fashion, they have collaborated to release Nike x Tiffany 925 sterling silver accessories. The first is a pair of dubraes, followed by a whistle, shoe horn, and shoe brush. Accessories range in price from $250-$475. While the majority of these accessories are strictly for the novelty collector, the dubraes are sure to turn heads and elevate your Air Force 1 1873s.
The Takeaway
Could these be the break-the-internet collaboration of 2023? While the year is still young, they have definitely left the fashion community in anticipation of their drop. Priced at $400, over double the price of Nike’s classic Air Force 1 sneaker, this collaboration doesn’t come cheap. So what’s the hype? This isn’t the first time Nike has collaborated with a luxury brand. The iconic Air Force 1 is once again getting fancy. After collaborating with luxury giant Louis Vuitton in Spring-Summer 2022, the Nike Air Force 1 collaboration sneakers have grown a cult-like following. A quick search on STOCKX and you will find that the Nike x Louis Vuitton Air Force 1s are reselling for upwards of $4,000. With all the hype surrounding the Nike x Tiffany collab, one can only imagine what these babies will sell for on the resale market.
