Jordan, I have to say you are my favourite sneaker content creator. Smart, intelligent, humorous and informative content. Genuinely, really great videos. Also ur self-deprecation is appreciated in a world filled with creators with egos outgrowing their content!!!! Keep it up pal... wanna see u succeed and become a name recognized worldwide for sneakers and comedy 😄😆
If you think about it. Some of these designer houses tend to have extremely simple or just obscure designs, and having classic footwear that have been tested through the decades from Nike is a great way to showcase their designs. It’s still an attainable shoe in comparison to the LV Air Force ones that fetch a pretty penny even from release date but shows that there’s a turn for more creative designers to really showcase their art. Plus, the newer generation of designers were the ones who loved these shoes. So realistically, the culture is coming into full circle with collaborations with sportswear in general. So who doesn’t like a fresh pair of AF1’s?
Genuinely can’t stand these kind of collaborations. This is not what this culture is about, brands like Tiffany used to look down there noses at the average joe like myself and now they want to make there millions from us. They can do one, I’ll stick to collaborations like Why So Sad and Fun Collabs like the Chunky Dunky’s!! Just my opinion tho.
I think it's a great collab personally. It's simple but that's pretty much the Tiffany & Co MO if you've seen any of their jewellery and accessories. I DO think the amount of collabs have watered down the novelty of them for sure but Nike always seem to drop a biggie like this whenever we all think collabs are dead so I'd say they know what they're doing for the most part 😅
I'm all for collabs even with today's releases having one every couple of weeks. My problem with these Tiffany's, however, is that they feel plain and uninspired for what is supposed to be a luxury shoe fetching a $400 retail price tag. A silver plate on the back and a Tiffany Blue swoosh with the reset of the shoe being all-black is pretty lame.
I hope high end luxury collabs with Nike don't become the norm . The Tiffany dunks from years ago are way better than these and wasn't no were near as expensive for retail. My thing is if Tiffany was for the culture they could of had a pair without the silver lil accessories . To me the quality nor the price justifies the purchase I much rather get an all black AF1 and paint that Tiffany blue color on the swoosh 😭
Makes perfect sense though when you think about it that’s what Nike may want so you buy the gr version. Don’t settle for less. Just wait till something better and affordable releases. It feels like a Nike gimmick to upcharge or release low stock to sell general release substitutes
The fact you showed 0:11 you're showing great taste which I knew already. Wild "kids" don't talk about them today. I love airmax so I have to know about those
I remember there was a pack of 3 jordan 5 premiums ~2017 with each costing 400$ and although not many people bought them it there was definitely less of an outrage aboit them. I also like that some collabs are stopping with those crazy design stuff and go back to a more simple approach. Now if only those collabs and special editions would get a bit more rare in time, that would make them feel a lot more special again. And lastly i think that they should have AT LEAST included the silver dubrae with the sneaker, i mean come on we talk aboit a AF1 here.
I think the reason there wasn't an outrage was because there was no forced collaboration, and it was just a fancier version of a shoe people love with actual tangible material upgrades. The Tiffany AF1 just seems like a regular ass suede AF1 with some extra branding. Funny enough you can find some pairs now aside from the snakeskins well below $400. I found the obsidians for $300 and immediately got them, definitely the most high quality Jordan 4 I have seen.
This is actually a really interesting one. I am a consumer of designer brands and have many in my collection. Also, a Nike/Jordan collector. The price alone doesn't scare me but the product just doesn't seem to justify the price. BAPE, Bally and Off-White are 3 brands that get away with charging $300-$600 for products manufactured in China. Not sure how they pulled it off. Everything else has higher quality leather and craftsmanship and higher production costs. If Nike wants to seriously tip their toe into the designer space, they have to emphasize the quality of the leather and the quality of handmade production and QA in Italy, Spain, France or even here in the USA. (Yes, similar to 1986 AJ2, it's a new world and it can work now). Simply putting a Tiffany, BVLGARI or whatever logo on a shoe made in Vietnam with the same process as all the rest, simply won't make the cut. NOTE: Designer material and production costs are not $500+ over Nike costs. The perceived value is higher due to years of cultivating a brand value perception. That perception is built on quality of materials, attention to detail and exclusivity. Nike is still just Nike... for now.
Exactly. The funny thing is it’s just a different color way with MAYBE a bit better materials. It’s not a product that cost $300-500 to manufacture and is sold for $800-1000
I love how you have two different perspective and call out both the good and bad of this collab. I don’t think that collabs are fallin off but there has been a definite increase in them which could quite possibly water things down and make people overlook the dope ones.
@@sneakernomics5547 ima go and make my own af1 bundle box and head to walmart and get me a tube of toothpaste to sell with the kicks for a markup of 200 bucks
I think the value and hype for these will be heavily dictated by how limited they are. If the shoe is 1k pairs numbered, people are going to call them grails as they’re a simple colorway that’s rare and easy to wear. If these are reasonably mass produced though, they’re bricking. As I said in my previous comment, these are just a safe release to appeal to as many customers as possible
I feel like it's a good collaboration. Nike and Tiffany's are both large well recognized brands where luxury and culture overlap. I'm not a big fan of Tiffany's, seeing as most of what they make is pretty basic and overpriced, so I don't think this is quite up there in status with the likes of Dior or LV, and that's probably reflected in the price. It does explain the straightforward design aesthetic though. I'm not really a person driven by the hype and only look to collabs as a opportunity to bring something new to a shoe that Nike (or any other brand for that matter) wouldn't normally do. For example the deconstructed look of an Off-White or the reverse Swoosh of a Travis Scott. This AF-1 however doesn't venture too far from the typical Nike, besides the premium materials, so I'm not really going after this. I'd love to see the next collaboration partner to be someone that brings a fresh take to Nike and sneakers, not just the partnering of 2 large brands.
I’m not a AF1 guy personally but I am a fan of good materials. I’ll just wait about 6 months after release n get these for about 180. I have a feeling they will be below retail off the jump. Maybe I’m wrong but I just don’t see a $400 price point sneaker when I look at these🤷♂️
These kids don't have to buy groceries or have rent to pay that much for some black forces must be nice hell in a few months I'll be able to trade a dozen eggs for a pair lol
I find these really interesting but I am salty they don’t include the silver dubraes for the $400 retail price. IMO they would make the pair feel “complete” and would justify the marked up price. They really want to get folks for an additional $250 (minimum) for them 🙄
Any big "Luxury" brand is an automatic no for me not just for collaborations but just in general. I don't mind an insane price tag but the quality and effort put in has to match.
Great video and observations. Personally im a fan of collabs. Although there seems like a glut of them. But in this case of this Tiffany collab it seems completely uninspired. Although it has some design elements identifying it as tiffany but its really not enough and im not seeing it as really representing the flux brand and history of tiffany. And the jordans are street shoes with culture for ballers, street culture and hip hoppers. Tiffany has no association with either. Gucci and other brands did. Hard pass for me at any price.
Some collabs can be really interesting but imo this one is pretty mid. Looks like another plain air force 1. When i hear collab i would expect something special "design" wise, it would be either materials or colorway or some dope details. Seems to me lately that nike feels like they dont need to do such things since the shoes will most likely sell out anyway. Wont even mention the retail price on this af1 lol
I feel like the Tiffany forces should've resembled the sb dunks in terms of the color blocking. They're just black airforces with better material and a green swoosh. Nothing worth 400
Let's compare the Tiffany's to the Sophia and Bella Air Force 1 that just came out. Those had a premium price tag. But the difference is that those had equally, if not better, materials. They also had real thought behind the design and a story. These have no story no thought just simple black with better than average materials with a blue swoosh going for 3 times the price makes no sense
100 percent fire tiffany been around since ever and the AF 1 has been around for long too and the materials look high and the box even looks fire. I'm a af1 guy so these are right up my alley I hope these brick and no one gets them so I can buy them for sure maybe even get two pairs.
I like how they look, but not for $400. At the same time, I wouldn't spend $400 on any sneakers. There's too many sneakers out there to spend $400 on one pair.
Yes, all in the middle of a recession which is hitting the middle class and wealthy a lot more! The exact people that are supposed to spend on this, lost their money in crypto and lost their tech job recently.
I love these and I will 100% cop at retail. Maybe it’s my familiarity with Tiffany as a brand, but if this shoe was wild like the LV AF1s it wouldn’t make any sense to me. And as an aside, the Dior 1’s are relatively understated as well, and retailed at $2,000. And those seem almost universally loved. It’s perfectly fine to not like the Tiffany AF1, but the level of debate seems to be about broader issues people have with Nike and not entirely about the shoe.
Hone, knows what’s up. This collaboration is 15 years too late, also what’s up with using an AF1 for your canvas? There’s definitely way more interesting silhouettes. This is a Drake shoe.
My take on the $400 Price is to alienate the resellers who typically run their BOTs to hoard sneakers that are in the under $200 price so many will pass on it. If there are reseller Bots that somehow bite into $400 sneaker and sell it out, then Nike wins because the Tiffany collab can be hyped as a success. The Resellers who have the Tiffany collab will need to hype it up on RUclips and Instagram to get the Hyperbeast and Noobs to buy it thru resellers. The economics this year is hard to push a $400 shoe into consumers whose funds are limited so many would go to the Replica version instead of buying from the resellers. I would buy the Tiffany collab at $400 as a piece of art .
Fair call I feel the price is to reflect the luxury nature of the collab and the tiff status but it will def alienate a lot of Nikes customers who aren’t about that price point
This "collab" is proof that the real sneaker game is dead. This shows that brands know they can do whatever to grab a quick profit. Once it's off the shelves they don't really care what happens with them... They're selling out regardless and they know it, so they could've charged $800 (well, if you add the accessories yo do get that amount) and it wouldn't have mattered. Look at the upcoming luxury Jordan 1... $1500 for a shadow with gold accents... Like... Anyways, great content!
I feel like it looks ok but it’s nothing revolutionary, the dunk looked really nice and it compliments the silhouette nicely, but the air force is just not it with this color way😢
LV , Gucci , Dior are cringe asf… seeing people in public with that stuff gives off “I’m trying to look rich” Tiffany on the other hand, is a truly sophisticated brand, not just anyone wears that brand. I love all my jewelry/ watches. Those shoes are the perfect price. 400$ !!! Perfect and affordable
I think Nike realized there is a market for “High Fashion” for Nike (MMW, Jacquemes etc) but they also wanna bring more Jordan. They have a $1500 Jordan on the way so might as well get them used to higher prices with a $400 AF1 Tiffany. They are meant for that big spender High Fashion Crowd, cause they could have easily given them a Colorway and have it be $20-$50 more than normal. But I think the AF1 will sell, the $1500 won’t cause no collab attached. No box or materials are gonna make an AJ1 worth $1500. All in my opinion
That’s my Favorite team! And one of my favorite players of all time! He’s from near where I grew up! My name is Jordan as well! Jordan Michael. My dad was obsessed with MJ born in 93! Any way! Who’s your favorite English football team? I played futbol growing up! Love your content man!
I'm not impressed by the Tiffany branding with Nike. I usually stay away from collaboration when it comes to shoes. I'm on board with take 2 more than take 1. Great video!
Its a black airforce with a teal swoosh… its too basic for a 400 dollar shoe, wish they did other creative things with it and not something I could do in my room with a black airforce some tape and a teal acrylic paint
Yo wad my guy Sneakernomics 👟..🤜☮🤛 absolutely I'm coping these .. for $400 if i can't get them Sneakernomics 👟 ...I'm a 9.5 or a 10 ...just in case..let me know..😆 ..but thank you as always for sharing your thoughts and informative videos with us all brother much love and respect 🙌..
I like them. Black air forces for the most part have a bad wrap. diamond Tiffany were somehow able to make them look amazing. I feel like most people complaining are the ones who can’t afford the shoe.
I don’t think it’a necessarily the price, to say the reason why people hate it is because they can’t afford it is silly. When it comes to sneaker collaborations, there are certain expectations that we as consumers want to be met. The design has to have some sort of umph to it, something that had the two collaborators’ signatures and there is a wow factor to the final product. The better materials are appreciated, but the design is as bland as it gets. You could recreate this design with the ‘Nike by You’ in a similar hue of blue/teal. This is uninspired and lazy.
@@balazs7235 yeah I could agree but if you make your own shoe regardless of how similar it looks it doesn’t have that Diamond Tiffany Brand attached to it.
Definitely reckon there are too many Nike collabs these days. Many have been bricks lately too. Most aren't anything special anymore either. It's just been overdone
I think the shoe itself looks nice, not my cup of tea, but the wife found out about them. So now I'll be out of $400 USD when these come out 😔 ....fuck me 😂. Great video bro, it gives me "Behind the Music" vibes, lol.
For the money they're asking, I personally don't feel its a good collab. Pretty much as you said it feels very uninspired. The supposed "samples" I've seen here and there would've hit alot harder I think, but still with a retail $400 tag, the quality just isn't there imo. I could also care less about the "jewelry" that comes along with it. Tho I will say brushing my teeth with a silver tooth brush would make me feel like posh if you will. End of the day tho, I don't see most being able to hit retail if they do want it. Which means if it pops off you're looking at a minimum of double the retail, which makes it even more worthless. So idk. IF and that's a big if I went for them, I would never pay resale and honestly hopped they would flop and go on sale. Not a need for my collection by any stretch.
The silver jewellery where is fixed doesn’t make sense too. It’s naf. If it came as removable or a hang tag, key ring or change it would be adequate. Why pay so much for a shoe, with silver on the heel that will be dragged through dirt. The feeling of luxury is lost on me
I think they're nice and the materials look great, but the materials aren't great enough, and the shoes design isn't great enough to command a $400 price. I can understand paying a lot of money for a unique and special product, but when the only thing you have going for your product is "My brand is prestigious" you have lost my interest. Basically, I just want a $400 shoe to feel like a $400 shoe. With these Tiffany Air Force ones I can just smell the profit margin through the screen. I know damn well that would be a $150-$200 shoe without the branding. No history, no story, no special design or materials (I guess there is silver but I doubt it's anything more than plating.) All branding and being a part of a special club, the aspects of sneaker culture I dislike the most.
Think the argument presented by the South Auckland native wins out. Nothing remarkable about the shoe and won’t be on anybody’s list for shoe of the year. Even if the list is 50 shoes long..
Nike can’t be a designer high end brand and also one aimed at the masses. The two don’t match. Tiffany isn’t a primo brand imo for most of Nikes demographic and I genuinely think these resonate with females mor, as Tiffany as a brand doesn’t mean much to guys. Nikes problem is when they move the price point without an increase in quality. Nike has questionable pricing at best when they do high end collabs but there isn’t a noticeable increase in the materials to. The stone island or CP collab gear they were trying to sell at a higher mark up than SI/CP do, it was laughable.
Unpopular opinion: most people need stupid a** colors or hype s*** or internet validation to like things. I think these fire but they cost too much to me. But it is Tiffany and that Bull b expensive. Suck it up, cry about it or keep it pushing
Do a whole video as the hater dude. Unless people watch your videos regularly, they’d have no idea what was going on. Turn the hat backwards at the end and wrap back into you. #facesdestroyed

Before bearbrick... we were buying... and I bet not many know what this shoe is.
Yeah I'm gate keeping. I still buy from KR
I feel like it looks ok but it’s nothing revolutionary, the dunk looked really nice and it compliments the silhouette nicely, but the air force is just not it with this color way😢
LV , Gucci , Dior are cringe asf… seeing people in public with that stuff gives off “I’m trying to look rich”
Tiffany on the other hand, is a truly sophisticated brand, not just anyone wears that brand. I love all my jewelry/ watches.
Those shoes are the perfect price. 400$ !!! Perfect and affordable
PREACH 🙌
I like them personally, but $400 retail is a pass for me.
I like the shoe for what it is but I can't see why it should be worth 400. For that price if it was a Jordan 1 I would def cop.
I think Nike realized there is a market for “High Fashion” for Nike (MMW, Jacquemes etc) but they also wanna bring more Jordan. They have a $1500 Jordan on the way so might as well get them used to higher prices with a $400 AF1 Tiffany. They are meant for that big spender High Fashion Crowd, cause they could have easily given them a Colorway and have it be $20-$50 more than normal.
But I think the AF1 will sell, the $1500 won’t cause no collab attached. No box or materials are gonna make an AJ1 worth $1500. All in my opinion
I think you’re right
Love the Joey porter jersey! You a fan??
Of the jersey? Yeah…. I’m not a football fan - well English football yeah but not nfl
That’s my Favorite team! And one of my favorite players of all time! He’s from near where I grew up!
My name is Jordan as well! Jordan Michael. My dad was obsessed with MJ born in 93!
Any way! Who’s your favorite English football team? I played futbol growing up!
Love your content man!
AF1 Tiffany is Mid, I’ll pass especially for 400 👎🏾
If things keep going like this soon a pair of basic shoes will cost 300+ retail.
Yup - look where we are with Jordan’s atm
I'm not impressed by the Tiffany branding with Nike. I usually stay away from collaboration when it comes to shoes. I'm on board with take 2 more than take 1. Great video!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Its a black airforce with a teal swoosh… its too basic for a 400 dollar shoe, wish they did other creative things with it and not something I could do in my room with a black airforce some tape and a teal acrylic paint
Yo wad my guy Sneakernomics 👟..🤜☮🤛 absolutely I'm coping these .. for $400 if i can't get them Sneakernomics 👟 ...I'm a 9.5 or a 10 ...just in case..let me know..😆 ..but thank you as always for sharing your thoughts and informative videos with us all brother much love and respect 🙌..
accessories dont come with shoes though
I like them. Black air forces for the most part have a bad wrap. diamond Tiffany were somehow able to make them look amazing. I feel like most people complaining are the ones who can’t afford the shoe.
I don’t think it’a necessarily the price, to say the reason why people hate it is because they can’t afford it is silly.
When it comes to sneaker collaborations, there are certain expectations that we as consumers want to be met. The design has to have some sort of umph to it, something that had the two collaborators’ signatures and there is a wow factor to the final product. The better materials are appreciated, but the design is as bland as it gets. You could recreate this design with the ‘Nike by You’ in a similar hue of blue/teal. This is uninspired and lazy.
@@balazs7235 yeah I could agree but if you make your own shoe regardless of how similar it looks it doesn’t have that Diamond Tiffany Brand attached to it.
Definitely reckon there are too many Nike collabs these days. Many have been bricks lately too. Most aren't anything special anymore either. It's just been overdone
I'm going to get a pair so I can shoot a video of my dog going number two on them. I think the brown will hit hard on that blue swoosh
🤣🤣
It's definitely a cash grab it being a black AF1 with a Tiffany swoosh but we gotta start somewhere
🙌🏾🙌🏾
Who is this Tiffany chick anyway?
That design in the sense of being Tiffany (bland) is soooo Tiffany.
Yeah they keep it basic and minimal and these are that for sure
I'm not Hyped for them. They're Ok but simply not for Me. Good Luck to those going for them.
I think the shoe itself looks nice, not my cup of tea, but the wife found out about them. So now I'll be out of $400 USD when these come out 😔 ....fuck me 😂. Great video bro, it gives me "Behind the Music" vibes, lol.
🤣🙌🏾 nice man thanks for the comment, I’m not sure if imma cop yet tbh, I’ll def try I think
I think they're pretty clean. But yeah. I get the hate too tbh.
I dont mind collabs that give higher quality and an higher price on it.
For this particular shoe, it's not my taste so I won't be buying it.
Meh
i rather get an all blk af1 n paint the swoosh teal/turquiose, def not worth $400
I’m definitely the 2nd guy 😂😂😂
For the money they're asking, I personally don't feel its a good collab. Pretty much as you said it feels very uninspired. The supposed "samples" I've seen here and there would've hit alot harder I think, but still with a retail $400 tag, the quality just isn't there imo. I could also care less about the "jewelry" that comes along with it. Tho I will say brushing my teeth with a silver tooth brush would make me feel like posh if you will. End of the day tho, I don't see most being able to hit retail if they do want it. Which means if it pops off you're looking at a minimum of double the retail, which makes it even more worthless. So idk. IF and that's a big if I went for them, I would never pay resale and honestly hopped they would flop and go on sale. Not a need for my collection by any stretch.
The silver jewellery where is fixed doesn’t make sense too. It’s naf. If it came as removable or a hang tag, key ring or change it would be adequate. Why pay so much for a shoe, with silver on the heel that will be dragged through dirt. The feeling of luxury is lost on me
I think they're nice and the materials look great, but the materials aren't great enough, and the shoes design isn't great enough to command a $400 price.
I can understand paying a lot of money for a unique and special product, but when the only thing you have going for your product is "My brand is prestigious" you have lost my interest.
Basically, I just want a $400 shoe to feel like a $400 shoe. With these Tiffany Air Force ones I can just smell the profit margin through the screen. I know damn well that would be a $150-$200 shoe without the branding.
No history, no story, no special design or materials (I guess there is silver but I doubt it's anything more than plating.)
All branding and being a part of a special club, the aspects of sneaker culture I dislike the most.
Yeah. I hear that
Think the argument presented by the South Auckland native wins out. Nothing remarkable about the shoe and won’t be on anybody’s list for shoe of the year. Even if the list is 50 shoes long..
🤣🤣🤣 churrrrr
Nike can’t be a designer high end brand and also one aimed at the masses. The two don’t match. Tiffany isn’t a primo brand imo for most of Nikes demographic and I genuinely think these resonate with females mor, as Tiffany as a brand doesn’t mean much to guys.
Nikes problem is when they move the price point without an increase in quality. Nike has questionable pricing at best when they do high end collabs but there isn’t a noticeable increase in the materials to. The stone island or CP collab gear they were trying to sell at a higher mark up than SI/CP do, it was laughable.
None of the accessories come with the shoes just so you know
Wait, really? Lmfao wow.
Yeah thanks man I prob should have mentioned it
I would pass I just bought a pair of cold wall Collabs and I think they are better then these.
Bot users are having a hard on for this pair, sadly they’ll probably end up with multiple
Not gonna let resell prices or stock numbers influence my opinion, these are ass. Absolutely lazy design.
I hope I can spend $400 on them
who's paying you to say this bruh? Cmon now. Definitely not worth 400 imo. Did you see the samples they had for this release? So much better.
Bro I offered two contrasting points of view - literally 0 agenda
the tiffs are clean but hard pass
Unpopular opinion: most people need stupid a** colors or hype s*** or internet validation to like things. I think these fire but they cost too much to me. But it is Tiffany and that Bull b expensive. Suck it up, cry about it or keep it pushing
Yeah it’s just fun to chat about it and debate it
Do a whole video as the hater dude. Unless people watch your videos regularly, they’d have no idea what was going on. Turn the hat backwards at the end and wrap back into you. #facesdestroyed
🤣🤣🤣
these are mid AF. they shouldve just made the tiffany dunks officially tiffany. #themarketinggeniusofnike.
the tiffany af1's are dookie
*When I first heard about them I was hype, but when I finally saw them I was highly disappointed... They look like something you'd get from the flea market* 🗑
🤣🤣
Cop
Nice
Hard pass
🗑️

Collabs are fire. The Tiffany collab is lame
