A New Collection by Louis Vuitton and Nike Was Unveiled
Update 19.07.2022
The details of the drop are now live in the Louis Vuitton online shop. The Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s will be released on July 19th at 14:00 CEST. Louis Vuitton is expecting a bigger rush and they are therefore dropping the sneakers via queue. Sneakerheads already know the procedure:
- be in the Louis Vuitton online shop in time for the drop of the collection (before 14:00 CEST).
- you will then be redirected to a "waiting room".
- there, the possibility for purchase will be given at random and will end as soon as the shoes are sold out.
- when you are given access to purchase the shoes, you will have 10 minutes to select a pair of the exclusive Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 and add the product to your basket.
- Purchase is limited to one pair per customer. If you try to bypass this, your order will be cancelled.
- our recommendation: create a Louis Vuitton account to speed up the payment process at checkout

First, Jordan Brand and Dior, and now, Nike and Louis Vuitton. The Beaverton-based brand is working with tremendous partners, and Nike is currently surprising us with an upcoming Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 collection.
The mix between casual streetwear and fashionable stuff from the luxury sector is incredibly popular. Added to that is the close relationship between Virgil Abloh and Nike that has been established over the past few years. However, a joint thing between Louis Vuitton and Nike seems even bigger.
The details on this drop are not yet known, but it seems like the partners are going a step further and unveiling a handful of pairs in a variety of different colours, shades, and materials across the Air Force 1 Lows and Mids.
Featuring durable, luxurious tumbled and patent leather, the sneakers are finished with embossed monogram prints from LV in fresh new colourways including green, blue, purple, red, and yellow. Extended tongues then wrap around the ankles with new branding and tabs, while the Swooshes combine with Louis Vuitton branding.
When Is the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1 Collection Set to Be Released?
