Baseball fans rejoiced on Thursday as it was Opening Day for the new MLB season. The defending World Series champions started the new year in style by dawning gold-trimmed jerseys and getting one of the most popular musical artists in the world to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Houston native Megan Thee Stallion wowed fans with her throwing skills and equally impressive sneakers. The award-winning rapper and singer completed her all-white ensemble with matching Nike sneakers.

Sure, Megan Thee Stallion wore Nike Air Force 1 sneakers. But they were not just any pair of the classic kicks. The sneakers were part of a collaboration between Nike and singer Billie Eilish.

Earlier this week, we discussed how the sneakers were being received by fans. Luckily for online shoppers, the Nike Air Force 1 'Billie' is still available for $130 in adult sizes on the Nike website. Below are the details fans must know about the kicks.

Nike Air Force 1 'Billie'

At first glance, the Nike Air Force 1 'Billie' resembles the ordinary triple-white colorway of the old-school basketball shoe. However, Eilish made some subtle yet important changes to the iconic model.

The reimagined upper features a quilt-pattern design with tough stitching and pristine materials to deliver a durable style. In addition, there are other nods to the artist with the cork insole, branding, and shoe box.

This is far from the first time Eilish has teamed up with Nike and Jordan Brand. In addition to apparel, the musical artist has collaborated with the Swoosh on several collaborations on some of its most iconic silhouettes.

It is always cool to see artists supporting other artists. Megan The Stallion is beloved thanks to her legendary music catalog and genuinely authentic personality. Now she can add her baseball skills to the long list of why fans all over the world love her so much.
