Nike Air Force 1 Low x Billie Eilish

These sleek Nike Air Force 1 Low x Billie Eilish sneakers bring together Nike’s classic silhouette with the creative vision of the American singer. The entire outer comes in a dark olive tone called Sequoia that gives it a powerful appearance, beginning with the Nike Grind rubber outsole. This sturdy feature is lined with the circular grip patterns seen on other AF1 designs, but the flecks of white across its surface reveal that it incorporates recycled materials. Similarly, on the upper, above the comfortable Air-cushioned midsole, leftover pieces of fabric have been repurposed to create something far more sustainable than the average shoe.

The composition of the upper itself is quite unique. It consists of a quilted foundational layer of soft canvas with a grid pattern sewn into it, on top of which scraps of suede in a variety of different shapes have been placed. Around the whole perimeter of the shoe, just above the midsole, lies a band of fabric sewn with an arrowed pattern that adds an intriguing aesthetic while also bringing further stability to the upper.

Meanwhile, the eyestay, swooshes and heel panel are all made of luxurious suede, and the soft tongue is adorned with a patch that has been subtly decorated with Nike Air text. Similar lettering is embroidered into the heel panel, before Billie’s trademark branding shows up on the lace dubrae and insole. The former sports the singer’s well-known Blosch emblem of a figure with slanted shoulders, while the latter has her name printed on it in black capital letters. This bold text stands out against the off-white tone of the insole, which is made from recycled foam. Further forward towards the midfoot on the same feature is a black Nike swoosh, highlighting the successful partnership and finishing the sneaker in style.
