Superstar singer Billie Eilish has announced the launch of her newest collaboration with Nike, this time delivering her own twist on the footwear giant's classic Air Force 1 silhouette.
Eilish reimagines the iconic sneaker by introducing a variety of eco-friendly materials, adding a new multi-strap lacing system, and dressing the entire silhouette in an earthy mushroom hue. Now, the shoe's synthetic nubuck uppers consist of 80% recycled materials and 100% recycled polyester detailing. In total, the sneaker is constructed from 18% recycled content.
“The challenge and opportunity with this collection was to respect the originals, but make them my own,” says Eilish. “It was also important for me to mix in environmentally preferred materials where we could and present them in a way that felt fresh.”
