Nike x Louis Vuitton: the most iconic sneaker collaboration in history

Step into the world of Nike x Louis Vuitton, the collaboration that pushed sneakers into the territory of absolute luxury. Designed by Virgil Abloh and presented as the climax of his time as Louis Vuitton Men's artistic director, this collection collapsed the boundary between high-end leather goods and sneaker culture. At MTHOR, we offer the most coveted models of the Air Jordan 1 Louis Vuitton and Air Force 1 Louis Vuitton collaborations, as well as the Louis Vuitton Trainer in their original colourways, all authenticated by our team of experts.

The story of an icon: Virgil Abloh's last vision for Louis Vuitton

Nike x Louis Vuitton was born from the meeting of the most collected silhouette in sneaker history — the Air Jordan 1 — and the most iconic French luxury house. First presented at the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2022 show at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in June 2021, the collection was imagined by Virgil Abloh, then artistic director of Louis Vuitton Men's.

The runway showcased 47 exclusive colourways of the Air Jordan 1 reinterpreted by Louis Vuitton, a complete rendition of a manifesto: the sneaker as a legitimate luxury object, on par with high leather goods. Every pair carried the LV monogram, the Damier canvas or premium leather combinations, with hand finishing and a signature LV box.

Following Virgil Abloh's passing in late 2021, the collection took on an additional dimension: it became the creative testament of one of the most influential designers of his generation. In February 2022, Sotheby's auctioned 200 pairs: the sale totalled over 25 million dollars, setting an absolute record on the sneaker market. Today, every pair is considered a museum piece — at the crossroads of fashion, contemporary art and the cultural history of streetwear.

A unique build: how Louis Vuitton transformed the Air Jordan 1

At the core of the Nike x Louis Vuitton collection lies an exceptional craftsmanship, the result of marrying the Air Jordan 1 silhouette with the Louis Vuitton ateliers. Every pair is built with materials of a quality rarely seen on a sneaker: premium nappa leather, authentic Monogram canvas, Damier canvas, and hand-stitched finishing.

In practice, this translates into:

Exceptional leather quality: the leathers used are the same as on LV bags and accessories, selected for their long-term hold and patina.
High-leather-goods stitching details: piping, topstitching and assembly carried out to Louis Vuitton standards.
A signature presentation box: every pair is delivered in an LV box dedicated to the collection, with the SS22 show-specific marking and all original accessories (dust bag, certificate depending on the drop).

The standout models in the Nike x Louis Vuitton collection

The Nike x Louis Vuitton collection is mostly built around the Air Jordan 1 High, Air Jordan 1 Low, Air Force 1 Low/Mid and the Louis Vuitton Trainer, available in a wide range of coveted colourways:

Air Force 1 Louis Vuitton — the heart of the collection. Available in Low White, Low Black, Low White Green, Low White Royal, Low White Red, Low Black Metallic Silver, Low Metallic Gold by Virgil Abloh, Mid White and Mid Graffiti. Each pair carries the LV monogram, premium leather and the SS22 box.

Louis Vuitton Trainer — the LV-house signature silhouette designed by Virgil Abloh. Available in Green Monogram Denim White, White Black and Silver, an essential piece of contemporary luxury streetwear.

These models speak to advanced collectors, haute couture and streetwear fashion enthusiasts, and Virgil Abloh fans who want to own a piece signed by the designer. Whatever your profile, MTHOR guarantees access to the rarest sizes and a particularly rigorous authentication check given the collab's status on the resale market.

FAQ — Nike x Louis Vuitton at MTHOR

How can I verify the authenticity of a Nike x Louis Vuitton?

The Nike x Louis Vuitton collab is one of the most counterfeited on the market: we therefore apply a reinforced protocol. All our pairs are checked by our team of experts: consistency of LV box and size label (the label must include both the Nike code and the LV-specific marking from SS22), leather and Monogram/Damier canvas quality, monogram alignment at the seams, smell, sole, laces and LV accessories (dust bag, certificate, tissue paper). We also use UV lamp and microscope. Every pair ships with an MTHOR seal certifying the check. Discover our full process.

What size should I pick for an Air Jordan 1 / Air Force 1 Louis Vuitton?

The Air Jordan 1 Louis Vuitton fits true to your usual Air Jordan 1 size. The Air Force 1 LV fits true to your usual Air Force 1 size. If you're between two sizes, take the larger one: LV leather is stiffer in the first few days and benefits from a bit of room. The LV Trainer fits true to size.

What box does my Nike x Louis Vuitton pair ship with?

You receive the original Louis Vuitton box specific to the collaboration, with the SS22 marking, the size label glued by LV and all original accessories (spare laces, LV dust bag, certificate depending on the drop, LV tissue paper). Everything ships in an MTHOR overpack to protect the box during transport — the LV box itself being a collector's item.

What's the delivery time?

We ship worldwide, with signed-for home delivery in 2 to 8 days. You get real-time tracking via email and WhatsApp, no matter your destination.

Will I have to pay customs fees?

No, you won't pay any customs fees. MTHOR covers all customs duties and taxes, regardless of your destination worldwide. The price you see on the site is the final price you pay: no nasty surprises on delivery.

Can I return my pair if it doesn't fit?

Yes. You have 14 days from receipt to return your pair, provided it's in original condition (never worn, intact LV box, seal not removed, all LV accessories present). Refunds are processed within 24 hours of receiving the return.
