Few brands are as timeless as Levi’s. Known for crafting denim since the 1870s, Levi’s jeans have long been a staple in closets around the globe. Now, Levi’s brings its iconic design language to one of Nike’s most legendary silhouettes—the Air Max 95—in a bold new collaboration that perfectly fuses streetwear and sneaker culture.

Levi’s x Nike Air Max 95 ‘Black Denim’

Frayed edges

Style Code: HM4743-001
Retail Price: $195
Release Date: July 11th

This Air Max 95 gets a full denim makeover, but instead of the typical blue jean look, Nike and Levi’s opt for a stealthy all-black denim upper. The canvas is swapped out for this durable material, complete with frayed edges that deliver a distressed, well-worn aesthetic.

On the mesh tongue, you’ll find a sleek black Air Max patch, while inside, the red insoles feature dual Nike and Levi’s branding. The iconic red Levi’s tag on the lateral side subtly nods to its denim roots without overwhelming the design.

Down below, the matte black midsole houses Nike’s signature Big Bubble Air Unit, giving you classic Air Max cushioning. Flip them over and you’ll see a lugged outsole with a bold red panel showcasing the Levi’s logo—a detail that ties the whole collab together.

Extras include red laces, a Nike x Levi’s hang tag, and a special edition Levi’s-inspired box—making this release feel even more premium. You can grab these on SNKRS starting July 11th in men’s sizing for $195.

Big bubble visible air unit

Style Code: HM4743-100
Retail Price: $190
Release Date: July 11th

If the black pair is all about rugged edge, then this version is its laid-back counterpart. Nicknamed the “Yin to the Black’s Yang,” this Light Orewood Brown edition swaps in an ivory-colored denim upper that brings an airy, neutral vibe perfect for summer rotations.

The frayed detailing returns along the wavy side panels, adding texture and depth. A white mesh overlay sits above the panels, while the tongue sports an Air Max patch blending white and Orewood Brown tones.

Mini Swoosh on the lateral heel

Inside, you’ll find red insoles with Nike and Levi’s co-branding, keeping the theme consistent throughout the collection. The clean white midsole showcases the familiar Big Bubble Air Unit for a retro-cushioning feel. Underfoot, a gum rubber lugged outsole anchors the look, complete with a red Levi’s-branded panel in the middle.

As with the black pair, this release includes extra red and white laces, a Nike x Levi’s hang tag, and comes packaged in a Levi’s-inspired box. These will also release via SNKRS on July 11th in men’s sizes for $190.
