After a hiatus of five months, the nighttime fun made a comeback with the popular late-night talk shows. From Jimmy Kimmel to Jimmy Fallon, the entertainers are once again back to the small screens, giving people something worth staying up for. Matthew McConaughey became the first guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after the long-drawn writer’s strike. Following that, Fallon invited the senior vice president of a $200 million American media and entertainment company to his show. 

During the episode, the host and the guest had a fun segment about choosing the sneaker of the year. What triggered a cheer from the audience, however, was the fact that Fallon discarded the $400 worth Nike and Tiffany sneaker collaboration in the show.

In the latest episode of The Tonight Show, Fallon welcomed Joe La Puma on the opposite side of the interview desk. Puma, who is the SVP of content strategy at Complex Networks, talked about his history and fascination with sneakers on the show. He was the same person who took Fallon on a sneaker shopping with Complex in the previous season of the talk show. This time, he put Fallon on the spot by asking him to choose the best sneaker from the bunch. After a lot of contemplation, Fallon discarded the popular Nike X Tiffany collaboration over a Nike SB and Jordan combination. 

Two years back, Tiffany and Co. collaborated with Nike to come up with its first footwear product. Dropped just a few months back, the collaborated outcome got the name of Nike x Tiffany & Co. Air Force 1 1837. The companies created the sneaker collection in honor of the 40th anniversary of Nike’s Air Force 1, for a retail price of $400 per pair for men’s sizes. Apart from its sneaker line, Tiffany and Co. is also popular for its exceptional craftsmanship in jewelry designs.

He then said, for the next week, anyone walking past the theatres would not be able to recognize “if the screams are coming from ‘Saw’, ‘Exorcist’ or Taylor Swift”. Given the craze around the Grammy-winning singer, it is safe to say that Fallon was not too far off with his statement. With a huge dreamy Disney-princess vibe, Swift is all ready to win the hearts of millions with her upcoming concert movie.
