Are Dior and Nike in business? Rumors of a partnership between the brands are in full force — with whisperings of a sneaker collaboration to come in spring 2020.

Some social media users believe Dior is putting its own twist on the Nike Air Jordan 1 sneaker, the basketball silhouette that Michael Jordan famously debuted in 1985. The high-fashion take on the shoe would reportedly retail for $2,000, with only 1,000 pairs to be released, according to @Ovrnundr, a Twitter account that chronicles leaked sneakers.

Assuming all 1,000 pairs sold out, that would make for $2 million in gross revenue between Dior and Nike.

Rumors of a Nike x Dior collaboration have been swirling since 2017, when then-Dior menswear creative director Kris Van Assche posted and deleted an Instagram image showing the brands’ logos combined. Kim Jones, the current Dior menswear creative director, has not commented on a collab.

If Nike is indeed working with Dior, it wouldn’t be the only collaboration between the sportswear giant and a high-end label. Virgil Abloh of Off-White has an ongoing partnership with Nike, and his take on the Jordan 1 landed him FN’s 2017 Shoe of the Year honor. The sneaker company’s collab with Sacai has also generated significant buzz.

Meanwhile, Prada and Adidas officially announced a partnership last week. Two limited-edition Prada for Adidas men’s and women’s shoe styles are coming to market in December.

FN has reached out to Nike and Dior.
