Billie Eillish has reunited with sneaker giant Nike to launch a new iteration of the brand’s first mule, the ‘Jordan Hex Mule.’ The mule, which has been dressed in an all-black color scheme, only has a single small Jumpman debossed on the lateral. When not worn, it is possible to see a bigger Jumpman and the inscription "23" on the footbed. In addition to its solid edges and foam construction, the pair is made from sugarcane and contrasts with the upper's delicate, curving design. The colorway is finished with a co-branded black shoe box that features a drawing of the set.
The Jordan Hex Mule will debut this month at select stores, with ‘Light Silver’ serving as the first colorway. However, a release date has not yet been set for Billie Eilish's version in all black, as the silhouette is expected to sell out upon release.
