In September of this year, Billie talked about climate change with PhD, marine biologist, and CEO of Ocean Collectiv, Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson in a feature set up by Nike.
And if that all wasn’t enough, one of my favorite parts about this collaboration is each pair of sneakers comes with a branded Billie Eilish x Air Jordan notebook! (I’m a notebook hoarder, ethical vegan, and someone who tries to make eco-conscious decisions so this collaboration has got me super excited.) Billie Eilish and her commitment to sustainability and animal welfare

And I would consider wearing them just because of the layered meaning behind it - they are a daring fashion statement plus made with the environment and animal wellbeing in mind.īillie’s Air Jordans also features her name and her Blohsh stick figure logo, with, of course, the iconic Jumpman insignia. Though neon is not my preferred color palette, I appreciate how bold she went with the color. Maybe unofficial, but it certainly raises hope that these are indeed environment and animal-friendly. And Billie’s mom, Maggie Baird, said her daughter’s Air Jordan collaboration will be vegan, so I’m counting that as confirmation. In fact, Nike’s more recent varieties of Air Jordans, like the Jordan Flight Flex, use 100% synthetic, plant-based, sustainable material. But to commit to this… There are going to be people who don’t like this at all, but it’s out there.” We don’t have official confirmation from Billie or Nike that these sneakers are going to be vegan, but it’s safe to say this is most likely going to be the case because of Billie’s consistent commitment to veganism and Nike’s recent sustainability measures. We now know that these “Ghost Green” Air Jordans are going to be leather-free and feature a monochrome neon green color (Billie’s favorite color) that’s inspired by Don C Legacy 312 and the striking “Gatorade” design.Īs she said in this video with Complex, the reason she loves the “Gatorade” is that “a lot of shoes don’t commit to being what they are.
So not only is this a dream collaboration for her but this is also a dream collaboration for all her fans who are environmentalists or animal activists! Inside the Billie Eilish x Air Jordan Collaborationīack in June of this year, PVA Sneakers released some photos on Instagram, giving a small sneak peek into this collaboration. It’s no secret that Billie Eilish is a self-proclaimed sneakerhead and has been a longtime fan of Air Jordan by Nike. Want to keep tabs on the most exciting new Jordan 1 colourways?

But with its blend of overlays and coloured accents it's out of the ordinary stylistically too giving rise to an array of style possibilities. All of which makes it an awesome shoe from a technical standpoint. Then there's the padded collar which cradles the ankle during impacts. The Air Jordan 1 has a soft springy sole especially designed to take the sting out of tall leaps on hardwood floors. These days the shoe is firmly in the fashion sneaker bracket and it's perhaps more widely worn than ever thanks to a host of high-profile collaborations and Air Jordan 1 retro looks. With re-releases a decade later and again in the early 2000s it turned into a sought-after piece of the MJ legacy. When it was initially in production in the mid-80s the Jordan 1 was a practical basketball shoe with bags of attitude. More than 30 Air Jordan models have been released since then adding up to one of the greatest success stories in the world of sneakers but the Air Jordan 1 is where it all started. It was also rumoured to be so good on court it was almost like having an unfair advantage. Originally created in 1985 by ace designer Peter Moore for basketball great Michael Jordan the Jordan 1 immediately stirred controversy with its black and red colourway that broke NBA rules.
