The brands have previously cooked up some of the best sneaker collaborations in memory, and now they're back with a line-up that merges the rich denim heritage of Levi's® with Nike's legendary Air Max 95 silhouette. It's the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 95, and the releases aren't slowing down. We've already seen the Big Bubble Bright Mandarin returns alongside the Big Bubble Bright Neon. However, outside of a handful of collaborative pieces with brands like Cortiez and Stash, the silhouette hasn't been given an all-over makeover. Now, that's set to change as Levi's treats the shoe to premium Levi's® denim materials and unique design elements that honour both brands' DNA. OG 'Big Bubble' Air Max units, stealthy and smooth colourways, the Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 will release in three colourways on July 10th 2025, on the Levi's® App, in select Levi's® flagship stores, and on July 11th on SNKRS. Look out for campaign images below that feature hip-hop artist Larry June, WNBA player Paige Bueckers, NFL player Keon Coleman, and designer Daniel Buezo. Forget 'double denim,' we're rocking triple denim for the rest of the year. Yee-haw! Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 Black | Image: Supplied / Levi's The Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 will arrive in three colour-ways: Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 Denim Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 Black Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 White/Ecru Sneakerheads will be happy to hear that the Levi's® x Nike Air Max 95 carries the torch of recent releases, utilising the OG 'Big Bubble' Air Max units that give a nod to the original Nike Air Max 95. Meanwhile, the upper is slightly slimmed down for a more wearable design, which is again, closer to the OG in style. Detail-wise, the Levi's® iconic Red Tab appears under the Nike swoosh on the right shoe only, while the shank displays Levi's® red branding. The sock liner showcases a Levi's® dollar bill print on a red substrate. All three colourways are presented in custom packaging – classic Nike Air Max 95 boxes redesigned in Levi's® red with added batwing details.

The latter features selvedge denim and matching mid-to-light wear patterns alongside the signature off-white chain-stitching details. Our favourite element, however, is the co-branded brown leather patches with Nike swoosh logos that replace traditional Levi's® elements. You'll find a similar highlight on the Levi's® x Nike Trucker Jacket, which features the staple Type II structure with selvedge running through the interior placket and a prominent chainstitch Nike logo on the back. 'In collaboration with Nike, we set out to craft an immersive experience that celebrates both brands' shared legacy and forward-thinking spirit,' said Leo Gamboa, VP of Collaborations at Levi's. 'The opportunity to reimagine the iconic Nike Air Max 95 in honour of its 30th anniversary was a true milestone.' '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.' Look for the full collection to release on July 10th 2025 on the Levi's® App, in select Levi's® flagship stores, and on July 11th on SNKRS.

Levi Strauss analyst resets price target, assesses tariff impact before Q2 report
Get ready for the Swoosh. Back in 1853, a German-Jewish immigrant by the name of Levi Strauss moved from Bavaria, Germany, to San Francisco to open a West Coast branch of his brothers' New York dry goods business. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter That company grew to be one of the largest apparel companies and the largest pants maker in the world. Times have certainly changed since those early days in the City by the Bay, and now Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI) is gearing up for its latest collaboration: with athletic apparel and footwear giant Nike (NKE) . Related: Analysts reboot Nike stock price targets ahead of earnings Levi's x Nike Air Max 95, a trio of denim sneakers with the famous Nike Swoosh logo, as well as jeans and a denim jacket, are scheduled to debut in July, according to Women's Wear Daily. The first two editions maintain a monochrome arrangement, while the third makes use of light and dark washes, WWD said. Bloomberg/Getty Images The people at Levi Strauss pride themselves on the company's staying power. Back in April, when President Donald Trump unveiled his sweeping tariff agenda, Michelle Gass, Levi's president and CEO, noted that the plan posed a significant challenge but maintained that "our business and our brands have endured for 170 years, proving our resilience." "Today, the Levi's brand is stronger than ever with diversified global revenue, solid margin structure, agile sourcing base with deep vendor relationships and a strong balance sheet," she told analysts during the company's first-quarter earnings call. "We are well positioned to manage through this uncertain time." The first-quarter results beat Wall Street's expectations, and Gass said "we're starting the year with momentum." Related: Netflix analysts turn heads with stock price target updates "Our new products are resonating and driving market share gains," she said. "We have a robust product pipeline that will fuel growth in our denim and nondenim business for the rest of '25 and beyond." The company is encouraged by the performance of its global wholesale channel, which was up 5%, driven by strong growth in the U.S., she said. "U.S. wholesale exceeded our expectations in the quarter, up 9%, in part driven by door expansion and more space with our broadened lifestyle assortment," she said. In May, Levi Strauss said it had agreed to sell the casual brand Dockers to Authentic Brands Group for $311 million. Citi raised its price target on Levi Strauss to $19 from $14 and affirmed a neutral rating on the shares, after the Dockers announcement, according to The Fly. The investment firm noted that beyond the selling price, Levi could receive as much as an additional $80 million depending on how the business performs under ABG. The sale of Dockers was "expected but a positive," Citi said, adding that the sale price "seems reasonable." Barclays raised its price target on Levi Strauss to $20 from $18 and maintained an overweight rating after the Dockers sale was unveiled. Related: Analysts adjust Kroger stock price targets after mixed earnings report Through regular trading on June 24 Levi Strauss shares are up 7.6% this year and down 19% from a year ago. The company is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on July 10. On June 24 Bank of America Global Research analyst Christopher Nardone raised his price target to $21 from $20 and reiterated a buy rating on the shares. The analyst, who says the brand is gaining market share and wholesale is becoming less of a drag, forecast Q2 earnings per share of 14 cents, a penny higher than consensus, due to its stronger revenue forecast. Nardone and fellow analyst Lorraine Hutchinson noted that Levi Strauss last reported results on April 7, just after the initial tariff rates were released, and tariffs were not included in the company's guidance. B of A's analysis found that a 10% global tariff and 55% on China imports would equate to a 3.6% increase in LEVI's cost of goods sold, which are the direct costs associated with producing goods or services for sale; and a 1.4-percentage-point hit to gross margins. The analysts called Levi Strauss well-positioned to navigate the tariffs due to its high international exposure, which makes up 57% of sales. The company also has minimal China-to-US sourcing, as well as a diversified supply chain and strong brand equity, which should benefit LEVI, B of A said.

The silhouette's signature flow is covered in a light beige as green and pink collide at its strap.

Craftsmanship is a key focus of each pair, with light brown nubuck overlays running atop a blue mesh base.

He's doing this once again as two Mostros and another collaborative Inhale are on the way from the duo. Looking first at the Inhale, it dons fiery overlays with a reflective gray base while nodding to Flacko at the tongue. The standard Mostro maintains its sleekness with a contrast-heavy black and white color scheme that features a croc skin-inspired leather finish. The Mostro Gabbia Leather is where things take a turn. He's again replaced the Mostro's strap system with a Disc unit while also introducing a removable cage that accentuates the model's edgy flair. Release Date:May 30Release Price:$210 USDWhere to Buy:SNKRSWhy You Should Cop:One of Jordan Brand's flagship themes for 2025 is 'Rare Air.' It draws inspiration from the imperfections found on sample pairs of early Air Jordan releases and calls upon them to signify rarity. The line began with the release of two Air Jordan 1 High OGs last month and continues now with a thematic take on the Air Jordan 3. This version of the shoe not only sports Nike Air branding at the heel, but the right shoe's logo is mirrored. It also forgoes the use of the AJ3's typical elephant print, instead using various gray suedes. A black leather upper, bright blue accents and hits of off-white round it out. Release Date:May 30Release Price:$135 USD to $140 USDWhere to Buy:HBXandVansWhy You Should Cop:Japanese denim meets classic Vans silhouettes with this FDMTL x OTW by Vans collaboration. The partners worked together previously on mainline Vans releases and are back now with takes on the Old Skool 36 and Half Cab 33.

A flurry of blues are backed by off-white notes that match the plain OTW by Vans-branded sole unit. Release Date:May 31Release Price:$200 USDWhere to Buy:WORKSOUTWhy You Should Cop:South Korean boutique WORKSOUT has teamed up with Nike to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Air Max 95, assembling two collaborative colorways of the sneaker. Its 'Uniform' and 'Triple Black' looks, the latter of which will not be re-releasing next month, reimagine the upper of the iconic shoe. Its wavy structure sets aside its anatomy-inspired stacking in favor of sleek linework that backs a new large lateral Swoosh. The 'Uniform' pair carries a military green upper whereas the 'Triple Black' colorway offers a pure all-black look. WORKSOUT branding is visible at both the tongue tag and special packaging. Release Date:May 31Release Price:$180 USDWhere to Buy:SNKRSWhy You Should Cop:When it comes to the Air Jordan 1, the Jumpman team has proven time and again that it has plenty of tricks up its sleeves as both new and familiar colorways are reworked to provide something fresh. This week, the Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Bred Toe' becomes the 'Ruby' colorway as its white, black, and red color blocking sees the latter note transition into a shimmering 'Ruby' red thanks to a high-shine crackled leather. From there, a black metal Wings logo further elevates the women's-exclusive colorway.
