On January 29, 2023, the official announcement of Tiffany & Co. and Nike‘s Air Force 1 Low collaboration was made public on the Internet via the Tiffany & Co. Twitter page, causing a massive uproar of excitement from both sneaker-heads and jewelry enthusiasts alike.
Although only the robin’s egg blue box that housed the shoes was officially unveiled that day, this small taste of the collaboration was enough to start discussions about it on social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. The news of this collaboration was surprising, given that Tiffany & Co. is known for its elegant, classic jewelry style and accessories. However, many people agreed that the pairing made sense; after all, Nike has been one of the most popular brands in footwear since it was first introduced in 1964.
Following an early leak and Nike’s “Legendary Pair” statement, Tiffany & Co. has officially unveiled its take on the Nike Air Force 1 Low sneaker. In addition to that new offering, however—and in partnership with the athletic-wear giant—the luxury jeweler also debuted a line of limited-edition silver pieces made by both brands together.
“Each design is as much a celebration of the Nike x Tiffany & Co. Air Force 1 1837 as it is a display of the House’s unparalleled savoir-faire and craftsmanship,” Tiffany & Co. and Nike said in a joint media release, creating a beautiful marriage of two brands’ cultures through artisan-ship.

What Does the Tiffany x Nike Air Force 1 1837 Look Like?
The Air Force 1 1837, named in honor of Tiffany & Co.’s founding year and Nike’s 40th anniversary of the iconic sneaker, features “Tiffany Blue” Swooshes on each side of a quality black suede upper. The “Tiffany” script on the tongue and silver co-branded embellishment on the heel exemplify how this shoe embodies a creative synthesis. The shoe’s all-black sole unit is a visually striking complement to the laces, pebbled leather overlays, and dubrae.
When Does the Tiffany x Nike Air Force 1 1837 Come Out?
The Tiffany & Co. x Nike Air Force 1 1837 will be released on March 7 via two Tiffany & Co. locations in New York City—the Tiffany Flagship Next Door and Tiffany & Co. SoHo—as well as internationally via the Nike Snkrs app; a small number can also be purchased from select Nike partner retail stores across North America.
What Kind of Nike x Tiffany Accessories Are There?
Accessories with co-branded sneakers—such as the shoe horn, brush, and ornamental tag developed for Nike x Tiffany & Co.’s Air Force 1 1837 laces ($250–$475)—are among the sterling silver pieces that Tiffany & Co. has released and which will be available via Tiffany.com in the United States.
Tiffany & Co. x Nike Air Force 1 1837‘s Price
The shoe will be USD 400 and come in a full-size range from US 3.5M to US 18M in limited quantities. The Air Force 1 ’07, Nike’s most luxurious version of the famous sneaker, costs $290 less, but it does not include a Tiffany script tag or a set of sterling silver heel tabs.
Bottom Line
At the end of the day, we can’t wait to see what other collaborations are in store for us. Meanwhile, we’ll be watching this collaboration’s effect on the bottom line—the distinction between high-end and affordable street-wear is becoming increasingly unclear due to this partnership. Nike, one of the most well-known athletic brands in the world, has worked with some of luxury’s highest-profile companies—including Sacai and Dior. At retail, these more expensive Tiffany & Co. x Nike sneakers frequently cost more than a standard Nike shoe; on resale sites, they can go for considerably higher amounts.
