Two of the biggest names in American fashion and sportswear – Levi’s and Nike – have just reunited for what might be their most iconic collaboration yet.
Dropping July 10th and 11th, the new Levi’s x Nike collection reimagines the legendary Nike Air Max 95 through the lens of Levi’s denim heritage, blending street, sport, and style into one ultra-covetable capsule.
At the heart of the drop are three new takes on the Air Max 95, each one wrapped in premium Levi’s denim. There’s the White/Ecru, a soft, clean pair in matte white and Ecru denim finished with a gum sole; the Black, a bold, tonal take using 14-ounce black denim; and the Denim, which features classic Levi’s indigo denim with a mid-to-light wash and a matte navy sole. All three pairs nod to sneaker culture’s roots with the OG “Big Bubble” Air Max units and are packed with co-branded details – from Levi’s Red Tab under the Nike swoosh to a Levi’s dollar-bill print sock liner.
But this collab isn’t just about the kicks. It also includes a full fit: the Levi’s x Nike Trucker Jacket and Baggy Jean, both constructed in selvedge denim and designed to complement the sneakers perfectly. The trucker keeps Levi’s classic Type II structure but adds a bold Nike chainstitch logo across the back, while the jeans deliver that throwback oversized silhouette built to stack over your freshest pair of Air Maxes.
“In collaboration with Nike, we set out to craft an immersive experience that celebrates the shared legacy and forward-thinking spirit of both brands,” said Leo Gamboa, VP of Collaborations at Levi’s. “By integrating our signature denim into one of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes, we’ve created a seamless fusion of sport and lifestyle – honouring the past while pushing the boundaries of design.”
Fronting the campaign is a lineup of next-gen icons: hip-hop artist Larry June, WNBA star Paige Bueckers, NFL’s Keon Coleman, and designer Daniel Buezo – each bringing their own spin on how the collab moves between court, culture, and concrete.
