Some followers have taken to sharing their very own concepts for the collab. Like artist Rick Dick who shared 5 idea concepts of what they really feel the collab may have been.

Regardless of the minimal creativity, the Nike & Tiffany Air Drive 1s are way more wearable day-to-day than its unofficial predecessor. Whatever the on-line debate, there’s little question these footwear will promote out and resell for extremely excessive costs, similar to the Dunks.
