A singer-songwriter Billie Eilish reimagines one of her favorite Nike silhouettes – the Air Force 1 – using environmentally preferred materials. The Nike Air Force 1 Billie is made from 18% post-consumer recycled content, including a synthetic nubuck upper that uses 80% recycled materials, 100% recycled polyester details, and an underfoot made with Nike Grind.
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. – Billie Eilish
The singer selected a synthetic nubuck material, which uses 80% recycled materials, for its soft look and feel. Her signature oversized style can be seen in the shoe’s chunky midfoot straps, an element inspired by two other Nike classics, the Alpha Force Low and Air Trainer 3. These straps cover the shoe’s laces and are finished with tabs that mirror the Nike Grind midsole. The full package is complete with a striking but simple tonal mushroom color.
The mushroom color scheme was used for the Nike x Billie Apparel Collection. Embellished with subtle silicone “Billie Eilish” graphics, the range includes hoodie, sweatpants and T- shirt in the singer’s signature oversized style.
The Nike Air Force 1 Billie and related apparel release April 25 globally on SNKRS.
