It\u2019s been eight long years since the iconic Levi\u2019s red tag graced a pair of Air Jordans. When two of the biggest names in American fashion\u2014Levi\u2019s, the king of denim, and Air Jordan, the sportswear giant bearing the name of the greatest basketball player of all time\u2014first jammed on a grip of dope Air Jordan 4s in 2018<\/a>, it felt like a natural fit. In the years since Levi\u2019s has maintained a steady partnership with Nike, highlighted by last year\u2019s elite Air Max 95<\/a> collection. But we haven\u2019t seen a pair of Jordans decked out in Levi\u2019s denim in a minute.<\/p>\n

Today, Levi\u2019s and Jordan Brand finally revealed their next chapter: a collection consisting of a nine-piece apparel capsule and four new denim-coated colorways of the beloved Air Jordan 3, two of which will be regional exclusives. The \u2018Rigid\u2019 colorway takes its cues from deadstock indigo denim, the sort of rich dark blue hue that will be familiar to anyone who\u2019s broken in a pair of selvedge jeans<\/a> in their day. It also features a black-dyed cement print, an instantly recognizable design element of Air Jordans. There is also a \u2018Black\u2019 edition, which (fittingly) layers black and grey-dyed denim across the Air Jordan 3 and features a first-of-its-kind embroidered Nike Air logo across the heel of the shoe.<\/p>\n

On the regional side are the \u2018Year of the Horse\u2019 and \u2018LA\u2019 colorways, which will be exclusively available in the Greater China region and Los Angeles, respectively. The equine pair, as it were, features unbleached denim, a ponyhair material, and red chain-stitched embroidery on the interior of the 3\u2019s recognizable thick tongue. The Angeleno pair, whose release will coincide with the NBA All-Star Weekend next month, combines pebbled leather with blue denim accents and a similar red chain-stitched embroidery reading \u201cCity of Angels\u201d on the tongue\u2019s interior. And, crucially, all four colorways feature that killer red Levi\u2019s tag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the clothing front, the offerings skew casual\u2014think football jerseys, tees, and a luxe leather varsity jacket. There\u2019s also a Levi\u2019s Type III denim jacket<\/a> embroidered with Jordan Wings branding and a baggy jean that plays on the Levi\u2019s 578 silhouette, this time with an extended inseam. And a particularly cool touch? A tee bearing an updated play on the iconic \u201990s \u201cBUTTON YOUR FLY\u201d Levi\u2019s campaign, made famous by filmmaker Spike Lee<\/a>\u2014who also happens to appear in the campaign for the collaboration.<\/p>\n

Indeed, seeing Levi\u2019s and Jordan Brand team up again in 2026 feels like a long-overdue reunion, like when you get dinner with a friend you haven\u2019t seen in years and leave wondering why you don\u2019t see each other more often. Given the sneaker industry<\/a>\u2019s tendency to lean too heavily on hit partnerships, oversaturation is certainly something to be mindful of\u2014and this new collection probably wouldn\u2019t feel as special if it were their dozenth linkup in the last eight years. Still, with Levi\u2019s and Jordan Brand going together like peanut butter and chocolate, here\u2019s hoping it\u2019s not quite that long before they get the band back together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been eight long years since the iconic Levi\u2019s red tag graced a pair of Air Jordans.
