Nike and Tiffany & Co. have teamed together to release a pair of personalized Air Force 1 1837s for the general public. Tiffany's distinctive blue appears on the Nike Swoosh and contrasts with the black suede used in the sneaker's construction. Each heel also has co-branded silver decorations. Other accessories included with this silhouette include a whistle made of sterling silver, a shoe horn, a shoe bush, and a tag for the shoe laces.
"Each design is as much a celebration of the Nike x Tiffany & Co. Air Force 1 1837, as a representation of the house's unparalleled savoir-faire and craftsmanship," the duo commented.
The Tiffany & Co. x Nike shoe will be on sale on March 7th, extending Nike's celebrations for the Air Force 1's 40th birthday. The joint venture will be available via Nike's SNKRS app and in a few Nike partner stores in North America, including two Tiffany & Co. locations in New York City.
