Winning is in their jeans.
Two American fashion institutions are gearing up to release a monumental collaboration. Today, the two brands took to Instagram to tease the upcoming collaboration.
The teaser features the iconic logos of both brands being stitched and ironed into light-wash denim. Last month, Lil Yachty revealed the upcoming collaboration on Instagram. In his posts, Yatchy wore a light wash Type 2 jacket that featured an oversized Nike Swoosh on the back, as well as a smaller swoosh logo above the left-front pocket. Yachty also sported what is presumably a pair of Levi’s 501s in the photos. The jeans, too, featured Nike branding as an embroidered swoosh can be found below the left pocket and on the iconic Levi’s size tag on the back.
Yachty’s big reveal did not stop there, though. As the Atlanta rapper also revealed a trio of Air Max 95s.
The three 95s are made of, of course, denim uppers in Black, Obsidian, and Light Orewood. Each pair features contrast stitching throughout the upper meant to represent the many lines that make a pair of sturdy Levi’s jeans. The muscle fiber inspired upper is now dressed in frayed denim. Seemingly, all three sneakers will also come with red secondary laces- a color synonymous for accenting Levi’s iconic denim designs.
Of course, the Swoosh and Levi’s are not total strangers. As the iconic denim brand has linked up with Jordan Brand in the past- releasing a trio of Air Jordan 4s in reminiscent colorways to the upcoming Air Max 95. That said, this upcoming collaboration will be the first time Levi’s connects with Nike Sportswear.
The Levi’s and Nike collaboration is expected to land sometime this Summer. The SoleSavy DROPS app will be the best way to stay on top of the collaboration ahead of it’s drop date.
