Athleticwear giant Nike has partnered with singer-songwriter Billie Eilish to reimagine the Air Force 1 with an eco-friendly element.
Called Nike Air Force 1 Billie, the sneaker is made from recycled materials. More specifically, the shoe is made from 18% post-consumer recycled content, featuring a synthetic nubuck upper composed of 80% recycled materials, 100% recycled polyester details, and Nike Grind underfoot.
“Billie Eilish’s unique approach to self-expression balances a progressive contemporary perspective with a heartfelt respect for the classics,” reads a press release. “Given a chance to work on some of her favorite Nike silhouettes — including the Air Force 1 — she’s reimagined them with an eye to environmentally preferred materials and a universal color palette.”
“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.”
Available in a tonal mushroom colour, the Nike Air Force 1 Billie is priced at $170 USD and set to become available on April 25 on Nike’s website.
