Billie Eilish x Air Jordan; Drop or Cop?
Vegan Jordans, courtesy of the Grammy winner and part-time Hypebeast. Here's a closer look at the Jordan 1 KO and Jordan 15!
Following a series of leaks over Summer, the Billie Eilish x Jordan 1 KO and Jordan 15 is upon us. Over the weekend, the singer revealed her sustainable collaboration with Jordan for the first time. After months of mock ups and rumours, the official images were the first to hit the sneakerverse. And in the words of Eilish, sneakerheads were 'Happier Than Ever'.
This isn't the first time Eilish has partnered with Jordan. In 2018, she unveiled a new colourway of the Jordan 3. But her affinity to Jumpman started long before that; on stage, her footwear of choice is a Jordan 1. And as a child, it was Jordan 15's. Following in the footsteps of Travis Scott, Aleali May and Drake, it was only a matter of time before Jordan green-lit her own pair.
Her renditions of the famous silhouettes are vegan and sustainable, made with 20% recycled material. And in true Eilish style, there's nothing ordinary about them.

On par with her self-confessed favourite sneaker - Don C's Jordan Legacy 312 -, and in ode to her famous hair, Billie Eilish chose volt green for her Jordan 1. The monochromatic construction features a canvas/leather upper and co-branded insignia on the the insoles, while Eilish's Blohsh emblem takes centre stage on the tongue, in place of Nike's traditional Swoosh.
The sneaker drops on September 30th; the price is TBA.

On the flip side, Eilish's Jordan 15 is dressed in a sandy beige colourway. It features a leather build with tonal exposed stitching and mesh tongues. Though, unlike the traditional silhouette, a horizontal stitched pattern replaces the woven lines we're used to. The Jumpman logo can be seen near the ankle collar and lateral heel, while Eilish's Blohsh insignia is found on the inside of the tongue.
The sneaker drops on September 30th; the price is TBA.
