Ever since Supreme and Louis Vuitton collaborated for the former’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection, streetwear and high fashion have been more intertwined than ever. Off-White and Nike conceptualized “The 10” in 2017, Dior and Jordan Brand co-designed an Air Jordan 1 High and Air Jordan 1 Low in 2020, and Gucci and adidas released a collection of goods in 2022. All of these partnerships have bridged the gap between streetwear’s casual, graphic-heavy vibe and high fashion’s opulent flavoring.
If you do a little digging, you’ll actually see streetwear and high fashion had been riffing on each other’s aesthetic years before their worlds began orbiting around one another. In 2000, Supreme released a collection of skateboards featuring Louis Vuitton’s famous monogram print—sans any official involvement from Louis Vuitton. A few years later, Diamond Supply Co. and Nike SB released the “Tiffany” Dunk, a colorway adorned with accents in Tiffany and Co.’s iconic Tiffany Blue hue.
Noticing a theme?
When Supreme and Louis Vuitton finally buried the hatchet (Louis Vuitton hit Supreme with a cease and desist over the use of its monogram print), the brands came together to create a monumental collaboration that was once thought to be impossible to imagine. The same thing is about to happen with Tiffany and Co. and Nike. Almost two decades after Diamond Supply Co.’s “Tiffany” SB Dunk, the New York based luxury jewelry company and Nike are finally coming together on a sneaker collaboration: the “1837” Air Force 1 Low.
Just like with Supreme and Louis Vuitton, the pairing of Tiffany and Co. and Nike was worth the wait. The new “1837” will be one of the most coveted releases of 2023. It should fetch a significant sum on the aftermarket from the moment it is released in March. With an official Tiffany and Co. shoe on the market, that should only do wonders for the resale value of original SB Dunk “Tiffany,” and the alternate Nike SB Dunk High “Tiffany” from 2014. It’s not hard to imagine Diamond Supply Co.’s other Nike SB Dunk collaborations getting some kickback from Tiffany and Co.’s first-ever shoe project, too.
All this to say, if you’re a reseller looking for one of the biggest come-ups of the year, then keep a close eye on the Tiffany and Co. x Nike Air Force 1 Low “1837,” and pretty much every other shoe that’s ever been featured in Tiffany Blue. Shout out to the Diamond Supply Co. x Puma collabs, and the Diamond Supply Co. x Kith x Asics Gel-Lyte 5s!
