Air Jordan 1 AJKO Billie Eilish (W)
Jordan has teamed up with pop icon Billie Eilish to release two signature Air Jordan Retro silhouettes. The first of the two, the women’s Air Jordan 1 AJKO Billie Eilish (W), draws a resemblance to one of Eilish’s most well-known hairstyles and motifs.
Like Billie’s hair during her rise to stardom, the Air Jordan 1 KO Billie Eilish beams neon green in a tonal fashion throughout the canvas upper and sole. Further customizing the design, the woven tongue label features a Blohsh, a gender-neutral abstract stick-figure of a human that Eilish has adopted as one of her emblems.
The women’s Air Jordan 1 AJKO Billie Eilish (W) releases on Monday, September 27th on Billie Eilish’s website and again on Thursday, September 30th for $140 on the SNKRS app, retailing at $140.

Air Jordan 5 Shattered Backboard
After a history of appearing on popular Jordan 1s, the renowned Shattered Backboard colorway makes its way to the Jordan 5 for the Air Jordan 5 Shattered Backboard.
Like other Shattered Backboard releases, white, orange, and black are prominent in the design’s color-blocking. Instead of utilizing signature Jordan 5 netted inserts on the quarter and tongue, the Shattered Backboard opts for a translucent mesh that also appears on the collar. Metallic shark-tooth details on the midsole and a semi-translucent outsole add the finishing touches.
The Air Jordan 5 Shattered Backboard releases on Saturday, October 2nd for $190 on the SNKRS app and at select retailers.
