The sneaker game is about to get even more interesting. Nike is set to raise their pricing starting this summer.
As exclusively reported by Complex, the global apparel company will be charging more for their goods. According the story Nike will be increasing price points by $2 to $10 dollars depending on the item. The company apparently formally notified their retail partners and authorized distributors earlier this week. This new plan will impact consumer pricing starting in June while the wholesale pricing is set to take place in July. In an statement to Complex they detailed their decision saying “we regularly evaluate our business and make pricing adjustments as part of our seasonal planning.”
There will be products excluded by the increase; specifically, all footwear under $100, all kids items and Jordan apparel and accessories. Thankfully, the classic Nike Air Force 1 model, which usually retails for $115, will not be impacted by the new pricing plan. Nike says these exclusions were considered so “everyday consumers” can still shop with confidence. Nike has not explicitly confirmed that the pricing increase is due to President Trump’s newly imposed tariffs but claims “expected inflation” and “economic conditions” influenced their strategy.

Every sneakerhead knows the struggles of keeping their white-on-white Air Force 1s fresh and clean throughout the summer months, but now, Nike is trying to flip the script and are about to drop some white Air Force 1s that already come dirty and dogged.

According to Sneaker News, the “new” triple white Air Force 1s will come “fresh” out the box looking like a pair of discarded 1s you’d find hanging from power lines on the street, but actually get whiter the more you wear them. While we’re not sure why Nike would go this route (seriously), they’re going to release these and there’s nothing we can do to stop them.
Per Sneaker News:
Indeed, in an inversion of typical “wear away” releases, this metatextual Air Force 1comes pre-distressed a la a Golden Goose or a Balenciaga. A sheer layer over top eventually reveals a regular pair of Uptowns with regular use. Notably, Nike is also acknowledging those who prefer to rip the bandage off as soon as they unbox any such shoes — a toothproof attachment with this shoe allows you to do the dirty work immediately.
The .SWOOSH enterprise has been defined in recent months by their “Low Poly” run of Air Max 1s, first spinning off the OG “Sport Red” with Kai Cenat before executing a nostalgia-fueled trip through video games of old. However, this does fit in well with the sub-brand’s cheeky register they were establishing before those AM1s.While this shoe diverges from pairs like the Air Force 1 “404 Error” given its certifiable offline quality, it still upholds the AF1 as the face of the imprint, already established well with the “TINAJ” series and “Our Force 1” further back.
Yeah, we’re not sure the “Dirty Triple White” Air Force 1s are going to help Nike’s stock numbers rebound as Trump’s tariffs continue to loom over the sneaker industry, with heads knowing prices are about to jump in the near future.
The “Dirty Triple White” Air Force 1s are set to release on May 7 at the tune of $130. While we’re pretty sure these will brick, we wouldn’t be surprised if you see some hipsters out in the wild rocking these joints with pride. Then again, they could just be regular Air Force 1s that they’ve dogged beyond recognition because we won’t be able to tell one from another.

The Nike Air Force 1 silhouette is a classic pair of sneakers regardless of the era we live in and though it’s popularity isn’t what it used to be, the new Tiffany & Co. iteration of the Air Force 1’s are sure to be one of the hottest releases of 2023.
According to Sneakernews, the Tiffany & Co. x Nike Air Force 1’s are set to release on March 7th for a cool $400. To drum up more excitement and hype behind the upcoming release, word is that the sneakers will be limited to around 20,000 pairs once they hit the shelves, so y’all know hypebeasts will be ready to pounce on these once they become available. As for the details that make these particular pairs pop, Tiffany and Co. really did go in to make sure their collaboration stood out amongst the rest of the AF1’s on the market.
Rife with comparisons to Nick Diamond’s unofficial SB Dunk Low effort from 2005, the instead boasts a darkened choice of the jewelry design house’s signature color palette. Rendering its clad nubuck upper panels in a pitch-dark wash of black, the tongue construction, quarter, sock liner and heel tab instead proffer a leather finish. Attributing color-matched thick rope laces below cursive Tiffany branded tongue tabs, the mid-foot Swooshes cracked leather texture dawns a vibrant turquoise outfit in tandem with its insoles. Affixed to the latter and the spine of the heel, sterling silver detailing brings an illuminated conclusion amongst jet-black sole units to the collaborative effort.
No word on how these will be released whether it be via raffle or first come first serve, but best believe bots are locked in and ready to go for March 7th one way or another.

Looks like Tiffany & Co. will once again be teaming up with Nike to drop some exclusive footwear. But instead of incorporating the classic Nike SB Dunk for their collaboration, the two brands will be remixing the classic Air Force 1 silhouette.
And it’s looking pretty damn clean.
Hypebeast is reporting that the new Tiffany & Co. Air Force 1’s is finally upon us as LeBron James was spotted rocking a pair recently. Best believe it’ll be a hot commodity when it hits the digital shelves March 7. As for the details, here’s what to expect when the sneaker drops next month. Hypebeast breaks down how this particular AF1 remix stands out amongst the many others you might have in your closet.
Referred to as the Air Force 1 1837 — nodding to Tiffany & Co.’s founding year — a premium black suede upper hosts “Tiffany Blue” Swooshes on each side in a tumbled leather. Collaborative touches are also spotted at the tongue’s “Tiffany” script and the heel’s co-branded silver detail. An all-black sole unit supports the look, matching the laces, pebbled leather overlays and dubrae. As for the sterling silver accessories, co-branded products include a shoe horn, shoe brush, dubrae designed for the sneaker and a silver whistle.
Like we said, these joints are hella clean.
The Tiffany & Co. Nike Air Force 1s are set to release March 7 on the Nike SNKRS app (good luck with that) as well as the Tiffany New York Flagship Next Door, Tiffany & Co. SoHo and select Nike retailers worldwide. The AF1s retail for $400. Y’all should’ve known these weren’t going to sell for the average Air Force 1 mom and pop spot prices, man.
