# Crystal-Covered Low Top Sneakers The Swarovski x Nike Air Force 1 Has Officially Been Unveiled By Niko Pajkovic | Published 2021-11-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-x-nike References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/nike-x-swarovski-air-force-1-sneakers/) & [nike](http://nike.com) Luxury Austrian jewelry brand Swarovski has once again teamed up with Nike to release the Swarovski x Nike Air Force 1 Low, a crystal-clad version of the iconic sneaker. Dressed with striking removable overlays, the collaboration sees the classic Air Force 1 presented in a nearly unrecognizable form. The coverings, which are draped over the majority of the sneaker, feature a unique plastic pattern that is paired with a variety of Swarovski crystals. In addition, the stylish overlays are screwed down into the sneaker and can be removed by wearers using a matching 'NIKE AIR FORCE 1' screwdriver. Aside from the unique overlay material, the shoes remain identical to the original silhouette, donning premium leather and tonal rubber outsoles. The Swarovski x Nike Air Force 1s are being offered in either black or white colorways but do not have a firm release date at the moment.
