Billie Eilish continues to work closely with Nike on a new Air Force 1 High sneaker model, unveiling the silhouette in a Sequoia colorway palette. The sneaker is designed in an all-green hue and done in a similar tonal palette to the previous Mushroom iteration.
It boasts an earthy palette throughout as the artist updates the shoe in an oversized look and features five chunky straps over the forefoot and toe box. This marks the most notable feature of the shoe, replacing the classic lacing system. It is inspired by the Alpha Force Low model and the Air Trainer throughout the design. It sits on top of the brand's Grind midsole in the same hue.
