If you thought denim was only for pants, think again. The Levi’s x Air Jordan 4 “Black Denim” says otherwise—loudly, stylishly, and with gum soles.

Originally released in 2018, this collab brought together two American icons: Levi’s jeans and Jordan Brand sneakers. What could go wrong? Nothing, apparently—unless you wore them in the rain. The upper is decked out in rich black denim, even on the midsole, just in case you needed more texture in your life.

A tiny Levi’s red tag peeks out like a shy celebrity on the quarter panel. Meanwhile, the classic Levi’s “Two Horses” patch trades horses for a red Jumpman, because, you know, basketball. Underfoot, you’ll find a gum rubber outsole with red and white details that scream, “I’m stylish, but also vintage.”

Whether you’re flexing at brunch or staring at them from your shelf (because let’s be real—some of us don’t wear grails), these kicks make a bold statement. Just don’t try to match them with your Canadian tuxedo. Or do—we’re not judging.

Missed the 2018 drop? Don’t panic. You can still snag a pair on resale sites like StockX. Prices may sting, but hey, fashion hurts.
