Billie Eilish is Bringing Back This Early 2000s-Favorite Sneaker
Samir Hussein
Billie Eilish has been embracing Y2K style for a while now. From her signature oversized t-shirts to wearing those loose, baggy pants known as culottes, along with her affinity for plaid, she's leaned fully into the early 2000s aesthetic. She took her love for the era to a whole new level this week when she put on a pair of skater shoes that only an eagle-eyed millennial will recognize.
While attending the climate change summit, OVERHEATED in Berlin at Festsaal Kreuzberg — presented by Billie Eilish and Support+Feed — Eilish stepped onto stage on Friday, May 9, with a team of activists to discuss how people can band together and take action against the climate crisis.
Eilish used the opportunity to support the cause while also wearing a beloved skater sneaker that once had a hold on millennial teens everywhere. The Grammy winner wore an oversized plaid, zip-up sweatshirt with basketball shorts and a pair of all-black Etnies. The signature sideways 'E' on the side of the black shoe stood out as Eilish walked onto stage, sending us back to the days when Etnies were worn by the masses.
The skater shoe brand, which first debuted in 1987, had a huge moment in the late 90s and early 2000s — along with other skate shoes from brands like DC and Vans. While Eilish's aesthetic has heavily leaned into aughts fashion, wearing Etnies to a climate change summit was fitting, given the company's eco-friendly efforts. Etnies launched its Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree project in 2011, and according to its website, has since planted more than 2.3 million trees.
Is this moment marking the official return of Etnies? Will we see a surge in the chunky skater shoe look on more people? It's hard to say. With the return of low-rise jeans, capris, and ballet flats, another early aughts fashion trend making a comeback isn't out of the realm of possibility.

😢 Last German side knocked out of Kings World Cup Clubs
The Futbolistas Locos were the last German team in the Kings World Cup Clubs and surprisingly made it to the round of 16. However, that's where it ended, and they were shown their limits by the French title contender Unit3d. Against the French, they suffered a clear defeat with a score of 7:2. Advertisement Already in the first minute, Unit3d took the lead in a one-on-one through goalkeeper Forestier. In the Kings League, another player enters the field every minute during the initial phase until all six outfield players are on the pitch. When almost all players were on the field, the French followed up beautifully. After a cheeky nutmeg, Toure finished coolly. An absolute dream goal - But see for yourself: In the 18th minute, it is then decided by dice how many players will face each other in the last two minutes of the first half. In the two-on-two, the Futbolistas missed many opportunities and then conceded the goals. The star player Emmanuel remained cool in front of Dreesen and slotted into the bottom left. Advertisement Emmanuel was also in the spotlight in the second half: The Futbolistas used their "star player card", where the goals of the selected player count double for the rest of the game. However, Unit3d had the "joker", where they can steal the other's card. The Futbolistas chose Rebronja as their star player, but since the card was stolen, his goal in the 22nd minute only counted once. Very bitter! It became even more bitter in the 30th minute when Emmanuel scored for Unit3d. He was the star player through the joker and his goal counted double - It was now 5:1. The French team president Squeezie then made it 6:2 with his President-Penalty in the 37th minute, which essentially decided the game. Goguay then sealed the deal in the same minute. Advertisement The Futbolistas Locos are now out, but they represented Germany excellently and even beat the Spanish champion. Unit3d lived up to its role as favorites and is now in the quarterfinals against Furia FC, Neymar's team. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

What Do Computer Code and Needlework Have in Common?
Needlework and computer coding might seem to be incongruous pursuits, but for the Dutch artist Anna Lucia Goense, the combination has provided infinite creative possibilities. 'If you look at cross-stitching or working with a loom or even knitting patterns, they are always binary systems on grids,' said Ms. Goense, 33, who is known professionally as Anna Lucia. Her focus is generative art, a process that involves designing systems, manipulating parameters and fine-tuning algorithms to create artworks that can range from browser-based animations to textiles such as quilts and embroidered fabrics. The idea of stitch or no stitch is a perfect real-world metaphor for the binary 1 and 0 logic of computing, she said. After all, Ada Lovelace, the mathematician known as the first computer programmer, made a similar connection in 1837 when her collaborator Charles Babbage unveiled his plans for the Analytical Engine, a calculating machine seen as a first prototype of the computer. She wrote that the machine 'weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.' (Developed in the early 19th century, the loom was equipped with punch cards that indicated through the presence or absence of holes which threads to use to create a desired pattern.) 'Coding and textiles intersect in many ways,' Ms. Goense said. 'They are both daily materials; we engage with computer code and textiles in our life all the time, and yet one is completely intangible and often perceived as masculine, and the other is something entirely material and traditionally associated with femininity.' Ms. Goense's path to the art world was not straightforward. After a brief stint studying fashion design, she trained as a civil engineer, gaining a master's in water management at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. She worked as an engineer, including for four years in Cairo, but felt she lacked a creative outlet. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
