According to a press release by Nike, the shoes are crafted in premium black suede and feature a Tiffany blue swoosh and silver details above each heel. The company says the shoes will retail for $400.
The sneakers will be available at two Tiffany & Co. New York City locations and globally via Nike’s SNKRS app, and select Nike partner retail stores in North America.
To further celebrate the launch, Tiffany & Co. will also release a collection of limited-edition sterling silver products. The co-branded designs include a sterling silver whistle, shoe horn and shoe brush.
"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," the press release continued.
In 2019, French luxury group LVMH agreed to buy Tiffany & Co. for $16.2 billion, adding a famed star to its portfolio that already boasts Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Bulgari.
