Blue jean Jordans and jacket
Levi’s collaborates with sneaker maker
There’s a new way to add a dose of street-chic denim to your closet.
Iconic denimwear brand Levi’s has teamed up with Jordan Brand to release a limited-edition capsule collection that merges the laidback style of Levi’s with the sports style of Jordan.
The release will include two styles — the Jordan x Levi’s Air Jordan IV sneakers and a Jordan Reversible Trucker Jacket — each featuring design earmarks of both brands such as classic blue denim and the Jumpman logo. The reversible blue jean jacket also features an inside (or outside, depending on which way you wear it) crafted from crinkle taffeta, which is said to be the textile used for original Jordan warm-up suits.
“The inspiration is two iconic brands coming together and there’s a lot of energy around both brands at the moment so it’s a great time to collaborate,” Steven Burns, Levi’s global design director for men’s bottoms, said of the collaboration in a news release. “The details of the shoes and jackets share the same denim, the same wash, the same threads, the same weight. I like that idea of technical sport apparel mixed with our authentic heritage because it gives it a different kind of edge.”
The Levi’s x Air Jordan IV Shoe ($300) and the Levi’s x Jordan Reversible Trucker Jacket ($198) went on sale in Vancouver at Livestock in Chinatown on Wednesday.
We’re guessing they’ll be sold out pretty soon.
