Jovani Hernandez Billie Eilish is closing out 2023 with two Nike collaborations. The singer previously revisited the iconic Air Alpha Force 88 in an all-red color scheme, but has recently unveiled her fourth iteration of the retro basketball sneaker.
Much tamer than the “Red October”-reminiscent pair, the fourth Nike Air Alpha Force 88 by Billie Eilish features a color-blocking similar to the original. White, black, and grey tones reprise all of their roles atop the silhouette that was once worn by Michael Jordan but better-endorsed by Charles Barkley. Instead of “University Red,” however, Eilish’s next swoosh-branded collaboration indulges in “Venom Green” flavor, a hue similar to the Air Jordan 1 KO she and her Jordan Brand family released in September 2021. Given the sneaker’s December launch alongside a ruby-colored style, it’s possible the latest Nike Basketball offering is rooted in colors traditionally associated with Christmas (the “Kobe Reverse Grinch” is a perfect example). In any case, the pair arrives with typical co-branding from the burgeoning partnership, in addition to a number of recycled materials, an achievement important to the 21-year-old.
Enjoy campaign photography for Eilish’s latest Nike project ahead. The “Lemon Venom” Alpha Force 88 seems exclusive to store.billieeilish.com. Nevertheless, the pair is priced at $130 USD.
