Even after the thorough Phetish review I always look forward to, my opinion of this shoe hasn't changed. I truly don't give af about the Tiffany brand name or their blood diamonds, and design wise this shoe is utterly unremarkable. Given the bells and whistles that come along with it I see why it's $400, but I still don't have a single desire to own or wear the shoe. Great review as always!
This collab is one of those rare occasions where more care was put into the box than the sneaker. A monogrammed Tiffany blue upper would have been better than what we got.There is a useless sterling silver piece on the back which mostly appeals to those who care more about shiny expensive jewelry than design. Get rid of that garbage and give us the sterling silver deubre.
Nice review! I personally love the pair and 400$ is cheap for this caliber of collab in my opinion. Sucks I have to pay way more lol. But I’m going to wait until people start undercutting each other
"With all the bells and whistles" I thought it was clever. I'm gonna try for these I know they're probably the toughest cop of the year because aint know way I'm paying resale. Also a real contender for soty
For sure a tough cop but I’m really hoping you grab a pair! Enter in over at Stashed if you can! And I did like the ads behind the whistle I was just like “ehhhhh I guess” 😂
There isn't a sneaker tuber out there that does it like you, keep up the great informative reviews. These reviews really get me engaged in the shoe, even shoes I was at first skeptical about. The story makes the shoe.
Imo the $400 retail makes sense from a brand(Tiffany & Co) perspective since there’s a premium for their name being connected to this AF1. However worth is truly subjective since not everyone will see value in Tiffany’s name being associated with the AF1. Personally I would purchase em but I must admit I don’t really have any connection to Tiffany and I’m not an diehard AF1 fan but I would wear em just as a low key flex here and there.
The resale value on these in 20 years is going to be insane. Like What the Dunk prices. I remember in 2008 when What the Dunks were going for $2k resale. Great review btw
Imo this collab is for both sneakerhead and Tiffany consumers since it merges both consumer bases. I also think the reason why sneakerheads tend to be critical of these luxury collabs is due to them coming into our world to get that rub/energy from us that they sometimes lack.
I knew you was going to kill this review! Those sneaker are so clean a lot of ppl don’t care about them because it’s so simple but that’s part of the story! Plus they drop on my birthday! I neeeedddd
Pricewise reminds me of the Gucci x Adidas collab where Sambas were $400-800.00. Good 411 about the Canary Yellow. I can see conservative Tiffany's Customers only wanting a pop of color for their outfits/looks primarily going for this AF1.
@SneakerPhetish Two charms AND the price of the shoes. And from the looks of your review, the materials look top-notch. The black suede doesn't have that "ashy" (I hate when people use that term) look.
$400 for a pair of shoes is really overpriced, specially when they only change the colors on a pre-existing design (AF1) ...resale prices are even worst. I tought Nike is creating a bubble on launch prices (like the stock market) and controlling resale (like the stock market). Bubbles don´t last forever (like baseball cards)
No amount of justification of the brand, the experience or the price point can overcome the simple fact that these shoes are ugly and lazy from a color choice/blocking perspective. That said, the shoe is always gonna have a place in the conversation because it’s Tiffany. Separately, I follow you across all social channels cuz your content is on point, sir! Keep bringing it!
Amazing review! So amazing I considered copping. I love how you provide so many details when reviewing shoes. You definitely set yourself apart from others. 🫡
