Can’t Afford the Tiffany Air Force 1 Low? Nike Made This Super Close Duplicate
Even assuming you had the opportunity to purchase at retail, which was far from a given, there’s a good chance you either couldn’t or wouldn’t shell out $400 for the Tiffany x Nike Air Force 1 Low that released in 2023. Resale prices jump even higher to the $1,000 range, but a close lookalike will soon arrive from Nike for a fraction of the cost.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black/Aurora Green” is almost a dead ringer for the Tiffany AF1. Both are rendered almost entirely in black and feature an aqua blue Swoosh. The newer, cheaper edition boasts a leather upper rather than suede and uses a shade of blue with less green in it than Tiffany’s signature hue. The color is also used for contrast stitching throughout the sneaker, as well as branding on the tongue and heel, as well as the “Air” mark on the midsole.

Nike and Tiffany made their collaborative debut with 2023 Air Force 1, and it paid homage to the unofficial “Tiffany” SB Dunk Low from 2005. That shoe was made in collaboration with Diamond Supply and combined a Tiffany blue base with black crocodile-textured overlays and a metallic silver Swoosh. It’s one of the most esteemed SB Dunks of all time, and scoring a pair now can set you back as much as $5,000 on the resale market.
In addition to the predominantly black colorway that released to the public, Nike and Tiffany also made another that brought blue to the forefront exclusively for friends and family. It’s sold for as much as $15,000 on secondary platforms.
The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Black/Aurora Green” doesn’t yet have a firm release date but is expected to release at some point in 2025. Pricing is set at $125.
