How Nike and Jordans won Billie Eilish
Dear readers and guests of the weblog, my professional curiosity continues to disclose secrets of brands by means of a marketing key. In this article, I will share secret ingredients of the new collaboration of Billie Eilish with Nike brand of sportswear and footgear with you.

Nike presented a sustainable collection of eco-friendly vegan footgear and clothes in April 2022 together with the cult-figure of generation Z and the superstar. Billie Eilish adds music to sport like a bartender mixes ingredients for a new cocktail.
WHY DOES NIKE WORK TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT?

As I see it, Nike holds on one of the goals of sustainable development, eco-friendliness, in this collaboration. The brand scrutinizes vegetive alternatives to skins of animals. In summer, Nike launched the “Happy pineapple” collection in addition to cooperation with Eilish. The collection is made of piñatex, the vegan leather, made of pineapple leaves instead of animal skin. Nike frequently reexamines every step of its work beginning with materials to product delivery in order to reduce the amount of its emissions.

The sustainability marketing* or marketing of sustainable development focuses on a buyer with its needs and attitude to it, as well as environmental and social values.

We see how Nike responds to vegetarian preferences of consumers in the course of developing collaboration. At that, the brand creates the footgear, which is collected by the buyers. The SaveOnEnergy agency qualified Nike as the most resaleable in the world. Billie Eilish acts both as a music star, and as an influencer, who the brand launches the product with.

The remarkable thing is that she is a prominent representative of generation Z (age of 10 to 25 years); she can communicate with this generation by means of her creative work. Billie remains to be a tween girl with her complexes, problems and emotional struggle. The teenagers and young people feel like belonging to contemporary society through her songs. And this capability has helped her rise quickly to the top of hit parades all over the world.

She helped develop the beige colour clothes in her identity oversize style, hoodie, skimmies and T-shirt to suit the athletic shoes. She likes wearing big-size clothes in ordinary life not to demonstrate her body.
