LEVI'S AIR JORDAN 3 DENIM PACK DROPS FEBRUARY 21
By Chief Editor | 2/9/2026
Levi's Air Jordan 3 denim pack drops February 21 with raw indigo that ages like vintage jeans. Four colorways including Year of the Horse. Texture over hype.
Key Points
- Raw indigo denim replaces traditional leather on the Air Jordan 3 upper, creating a craftsman-first approach to the collaboration
- Black-on-black elephant print anchors the toe and heel while preserving the Jordan 3's iconic DNA
- Priced at $230, the collection includes a $650 varsity jacket and matching apparel inspired by '90s skate culture
## Material Over Hype
Using raw indigo denim across the upper, the shoe feels more like a crafted garment than a standard sneaker. The Levi's x Air Jordan 3 launches February 21 with a thesis that matters: texture beats tricks.
Dark denim wraps the panels with a texture that will age naturally over time. That detail alone gives the shoe personality from the start. This isn't about limited numbers or celebrity cosigns. It's about what happens when two American heritage brands focus on craft instead of chaos.
Meanwhile, black elephant print anchors the toe and heel, preserving the Jordan 3s iconic identity. It is a balance between heritage and material storytelling.
## Four Ways to Wear History
At the center of the collection is the Jordan Brand x Levi's Air Jordan 3, reimagined through four unique colorways that celebrate distinct communities and moments — complete with classic Jumpman and Levi's branding, including the Levi's Red Tab at the heel.
The "Raw Indigo Denim" leads with premium indigo denim panels complemented by a black-on-black elephant print. The "Black Denim" takes a different approach with pebbled black leather, black denim panels and a first-of-its-kind embroidered black denim heel piece with Nike Air branding.
The fourth was a bit of a surprise–a "Year Of The Horse" homage featuring pony hair, denim twill uppers, and an embroidered call-out behind the tongue.
## The Real Money Move
The Jordan Brand x Levi's Pinnacle Varsity Jacket serves as the maximalist centerpiece of the apparel collection, featuring a Melton wool body; leather sleeves; quilted satin lining; and vintage-inspired graphics from both brands' archives, including a patch depicting a cowboy riding a bull, nodding to Michael Jordan's legacy in Chicago.
At $650, that jacket is where the real statement sits. Nike has also revealed official photos of the Levi's x Air Jordan apparel collection headlined by a varsity jacket ($650), along with the hoodie ($110), shirt ($45), longe sleeve ($55) and jersey ($130).
The shoes hit SNKRS, Levi.com, the Levi's App, and select Levi's and Jordan Brand stores on February 21, 2026 for $230. But expect the jacket to move units among the people who understand what American workwear actually costs when it's done right.
