Nike Tiffany Co. X Air Force 1 Low 1837

Designed by Bruce Kilgore and released on 7 March 2023 as part of Nike's Air Force 1 line. This release has a nubuck upper in Black/Multi-Color. From the 1980s onward Nike became a status symbol in urban and hip hop fashion, with Air Force 1s among the models that carried that status, and the AF1 in particular became a fixture of mainstream American youth dress before it was ever considered a luxury object. Putting it in the hands of a jeweller closes a loop the culture had already drawn: the AF1 has been worn as jewellery for forty years, treated as something you keep clean, replace often and judge people by. This is the Air Force 1 Low, the original low top form, carrying the number 1837 that anchors the collaboration's name. The interesting part is not that a luxury house made a sneaker. It is that the sneaker already had the status.
