A legendary pair.
Contrary to those who refuse to acknowledge the obvious, that streetwear is indeed here and going nowhere, the latest luxurious refined take from the Swoosh comes to us this spring. Tiffany & Co.'s rich history of fine trinkets, jewelry and accessories is finding itself in the ultimate crossover. Taking Bruce Kilgore's 1982 Air Force 1 and marrying the ethos of the Swoosh with that of the New York mainstay which was founded back in 1837. Nearly two centuries of Tiffany & Co. history is embodied in this black nubuck Air Force 1 Low, armed with a bright Tiffany Blue Swoosh across the lateral and medial paneling; along with a Tiffany branded tongue tab and a solid silver plate on the heel. Matching black textured leather comprising the eyestay and heel tab as well. The pairing is another venture outside of the brand's conventional ethos as we've seen before with their work with Supreme. And now, the pairing with the Swoosh; which can be akin to Nike's partnership with Louis Vuitton – both under the LVMH umbrella.
And in true Tiffany & Co. fashion, accessories are part of the fray with that being a toothbrush; likened to Nike's nod to using the utensil to keep your AF1s clean and an important part of sneaker culture. To a shoehorn, whistle and Tiffany Blue laces with a silver lacelock. The luxurious take on the Forces will drop on March 7th, to the tune of $400.
Update: The Tiffany x Nike Air Force 1 will release on SNKRS.
