When it comes to luxury brands, few names are as iconic as Tiffany & Co. The Robin’s egg blue box is synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and luxury. Similarly, Nike is one of the biggest names in the world of sportswear, with its signature “swoosh” logo known the world over.
A Sneakerhead’s Dream
Sneakerheads, or those obsessed with collecting sneakers, know that a shoe’s box is almost as important as the shoe itself. That’s why Tiffany & Co. and Nike’s recent collaboration is such a big deal. The two companies have created a sterling-silver shoebox, handcrafted by Tiffany & Co. jewelers, that is a work of art in and of itself. The box is made of classic Tiffany .925 sterling silver and weighs 23 pounds. Tiffany & Co. spent 155 hours creating the box, which is one-of-a-kind and not available for purchase.
The Tiffany & Co. and Nike Collaboration
Tiffany & Co. announced its collaboration with Nike on January 31, 2023, joining a long list of luxury brands such as Jacquemus, Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Off-White that have collaborated with the sportswear giant over the years. The Tiffany & Co. and Nike partnership launched with the release of the Nike Air Force 1 x Tiffany & Co. 1837 sneaker on February 1, 2023.
The Nike x Tiffany sneaker features a Tiffany Blue Swoosh on black suede, a Tiffany & Co. logo on the tongue, and sterling-silver plates on the heel listing both brands. The sneakers’ laces come in three colours: yellow, white, or Tiffany Blue. Upon release, the sneakers sold out in less than 12 hours, with a price tag of over $1,000.
