Pop sensation Billie Eilish extends her collaboration with Nike, offering a fresh take on the Nike Air Alpha Force 88. Following the successful relaunch of this classic basketball silhouette in OG renditions, Eilish added her personal touch with colorways like the Fire Red and White Black. Though these were ridiculed by many in the sneaker community for staying a little too close to GR pairs, her latest rendition will take the model and cover it entirely in Fire Red.
Constructed with a tumbled leather upper, likely synthetic to align with Eilish's commitment to vegan materials, the sneaker retains its original charm while embracing a modern, monochromatic aesthetic. Key features like the Air Force basketball graphic on the tongue and the signature lockdown strap on the vamp are preserved, with subtle mesh detail on the collar adding texture. The insole, made from cork, showcases co-branded Billie Eilish and Nike graphics, subtly indicating Eilish's involvement in the design. Completing the sneaker's look is a uniform red midsole and outsole, maintaining the Triple Red theme. Each pair will be presented in a special co-branded box, accompanied by a white dust bag.
The Billie Eilish x Nike Air Alpha Force 88 Triple Red will release December 8, 2023 through Billie Eilish's website, Nike, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $130. Download the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay updated on this release and more in the sneaker and streetwear world.
