The footwear scene is buzzing at the news that a new collaboration between classic American denim label Levi’s and footwear and apparel giant Nike will finally be available to purchase. Teased back in late May this year by rapper Lil Yachty, Nike has presented all three of the Levi’s x Nike Air Max 95 colourways.
Each denim-equipped look sports a “Gym Red”-coloured Levi’s tag at the lateral heel while colourway options range from a classic indigo to “Light Orewood Brown” and “Black,”. A new trailer for the campaign has also been shared, to high fanfare as it highlights the trainers alongside the complementary lineup of apparel too, such as a full light wash denim trousers and jacket set featuring the Nike branding.
The much-anticipated collaboration features the classic Air Max 95 with denim uppers in three the three colours mentioned. Each pair features denim details throughout the upper including the overlays that mimic the structure of the human anatomy. The insoles are in a bold varsity red to match the extra set of laces that come with the shoe. Each shoe’s tongue branding coincides with the pair’s colourway for the monochromatic look. At the time of writing, it is uncertain if other colours will be made available down the line. Knowing the popularity of the Air Max 95 range, DiscerningGent.com isn’t counting against more colourways being added to compliment the existing line up and satisfy high demand.
As part of the launch with Yachty, he can be seen wearing a light wash denim set of baggy jeans and a cropped box cut denim jacket. Both the jeans and the jacket feature the classic Nike Swoosh branding in white, ensuring the iconic detailing is visible for all to see.
A release date is scheduled for 10th July via Levi and 11th July via Nike SNKRS app, with each pair priced at £165 (or $225 USD).
