The Billie Eilish x Jordan Brand Isn’t for You (And That’s Okay)

As seen on Unboxed Issue 51. The Unboxed newsletter covers the most important stories of the week across sneakers, sports, and fashion straight to your inbox on Mondays.


Billie Eilish and Jordan Brand are finally releasing their collaborative collection at the end of the month. Tapping the Air Jordan 1 KO and the Air Jordan 15, the pop-star’s relatively unconventional style takes on a new form with the help of Jordan Brand. It’s important to note that this isn’t for your everyday sneakerhead or Jordan purist. If you want to be mad about Jordan Brand once again creating a capsule with a star, be my guest — but the formula has yet to fail for the brand. Also, if you’re not a fan of her music, should you even care?

With Eilish’s logos and monochromatic applications of a vibrant green and a muted beige, the upcoming pairs are great for her fanbase. And for her as well. Not every release is meant to resonate for all of us. It’s okay to share sneakers with new fans. However, I do hope that Jordan Brand’s rollout contains a bit of historical context for both of the shoes to educate the new wave of fans. Either way, hats off to Jordan Brand and Billie Eilish for once again doing the unpredictable.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
