Love ‘em or hate ‘em, celebrity sneakHER collabs are here to stay.
This summer has seen its fair share of big artist sneaks; it feels like only yesterday that we were previewing Cardi B’s Reebok collection. The latest household name to drop their own kicks is global pop phenomenon and street style trendsetter Billie Eilish. This year has been huge for the 19-year-old Grammy-winning artist. In May she made global headlines for her VOGUE photoshoot, sporting couture and a bright blonde ‘do. Her second (and highly anticipated) studio album “Happier Than Ever” dropped this past July.
Add to that list TWO 100% vegan Jordan drops this month… seriously Billie, how do you do it?!

First up is her take on the Jordan KO.
The all-over neon green color is reminiscent of Billie’s hair from 2019 to 2021. Her bright green roots and black ends became her signature look during the “When We Fall Asleep” album tour. The devil is in the details for these deceptively simple-looking Air Jordan 1 KOs. The electric volt green shade glows in the dark and Eilish’s Blosh human figure logo is stitched on the tongue. Green laces, eyelets, and stitching complete the sneakHER’s tonal look.
The AJKO 1 x Billie Eilish has a release date coming up this week. We know this pair will sell out the e-shelves because… it’s Billie! You can SHOP THE SNEAKS below on 9/30 for $170 USD. Will you be attempting to cop?
The Billie x Jordan 15s are similarly monochromatic.
This futuristic, sleek sneaker is covered in beige top to bottom. While the slime green embodies Billie’s edginess and spooky past albums (and compliments her street style), the beige seems to mimic her current project; they’re svelte, soft, and sultry. “23-6-15” is punched into the heel, referencing Michael Jordan’s jersey numbers. The Billie logo is seen on the outside tongue again, and her name can be spotted on the inner sole.
“I begged for the 15s,” says Billie in this “Behind the Design” promo video series. “The 15s have actually been my favorite Jordan since I knew what Jordans were. This is not a popular shoe- and I don’t give a fuck.”
Where can I get the Billie Eilish x Air Jordan 1 KO + 15?
Do these shoes make you “happier than ever”?
Both pairs are dropping September 27 on the Billie Eilish web store and on September 30 at the Air Jordan Nike site , just days before her film Happier Than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles comes out. We don’t have an official price released yet, so stay tuned.
