Following April’s “Mushroom” release, Billie Eilish and Nike are back with an all new colorway of the singer-songwriter’s reimagined Air Force 1. Welcome to the stage, “Sequoia.”
Starting with the star of the show, the Air Force 1 contains at least 8% of Nike Grind material in the outsole, while the upper is constructed from a soft, synthetic nubuck leather made from recycled material. To note, the first colorway was said to be made with 18% post-consumer recycled content in total, but that was not stated with this release.
What makes Billie’s take on the AF1 just as unique as her music is the addition of four extra fastening straps, instead of the traditional one that sits at the top of this high-top shoe. Each of these straps feature metal hardware to give it a modern feel.
As for the clothes, the collection includes tonal hoodies, pants and T-shirts, all made with heavyweight cotton fabric and shaped to match Eilish’s signature oversized style. Both the sweatshirt and sweatpants are made with brushed-back fleece versions of the heavyweight cotton fabric, adding softness, warmth and a premium feel to the pieces. The sweatshirt also features a kangaroo pocket, both for storage and hand warmth, while the sweatpants have a pair of drop-in pockets. The T-shirt in the collection has a roomy fit and dropped shoulders that give it a relaxed look.
This new Eilish x Nike AF1 collection will release on SNKRS on October 14. You can head over to the website now to get notified when the collection becomes available.
