Accompanying the news however are more leaked photos. Some things to discern: there will be more colors in the offering in addition to the lone blue set reported earlier, at least there’s a washed grey one; more images of the logo; as well as the special dual-branded tag on the back of the jeans.

In 1873, Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis invented the first pair of blue jeans. It was intended for the workers searching for greener pastures in the American West, who needed a pair of pants that could endure. Thus, the Levi’s® 501® Originals. Now in its 150th anniversary, it’s ushering the celebrations by partnering with one of streetwear’s legacy brands.

The collaboration with Stüssy was teased on both their official accounts, through a short cinematic clip shot by British multi-hyphenate Frank Lebon. The film spotlights two actors beginning in different settings, manoeuvring through a modular set, before culminating into an interpolation of their scenes.

Throughout, the lead actress is dressed in a Canadian tuxedo. Or rather, denim on denim. Closeups interject of the central motif: the collab-specific, dual-branded logo. It features the streetwear brand’s “mirrored S” insignia framed within Levi’s Strauss & Co. The emblem derivative of the hallmark rivets of the latter.

There’re several placements of the logo on the clothes with the centerpiece being on the back of the light blue denim jacket. It’s further seen on the lower sleeve of the pants.

Not much is known about the collection yet with the clip being the only Rosetta Stone. What else is included in the collection, a release date or price point has yet to be disclosed. But with the video released via official sources, there’s reason to believe its imminent.

Till then, consider the WACKO MARIA x Ghost in the Shell Spring/Summer 2023 collection too.
