Billie Eilish Reimagines the Nike Air Force 1
Global Superstar Billie Eilish and American footwear brand Nike have teamed up to create a sneaker and apparel capsule that is eco-friendly.
The Oscar winner who recently released her second album Happier Than Ever, reimagined the classic Nike Air Force 1 with an eye to environmentally preferred materials and a universal color palette.
Eilish’s spin for the AF1 features her signature oversized style emphasized through the shoe’s chunky midfoot straps, inspired by two other Nike classics, the Alpha Force Low and Air Trainer 3. The five velcro straps cover the shoe’s laces and are finished with tabs that mirror the Nike Grind midsole.
The entire shoes is made from 18% post-consumer recycled content, a synthetic nubuck material, which uses 80% recycled materials, 18% post-consumer recycled content. The shoe has an underfoot made with Nike Grind and a striking but simple tonal mushroom color for a super soft look and feel.
The apparel collection comprises of a hoodie, sweatpants and a T-shirt in mushroom color. All three pieces feature Eilish’s signature oversized style and are embellished with subtle silicone ‘Billie Eilish’ graphics and the iconic Nike ‘Swoosh’ logo.
The collection is also affordable, with the sneakers priced at 175 USD, hoodie and pants 100 USD each and the T-shirt for 45 USD.
‘The challenge and opportunity with this collection was to respect the originals, but make them my own. It was also important for me to mix in environmentally preferred materials where we could and present them in a way that felt fresh,’ Eilish said in a press release.
The Billie Eilish x Nike Air Force 1 High Mushroom and apparel range will be available on Billie’s website from April 24 and globally on SNKRS from April 25 .
