'The Future is in the Past'
Having spent decades sourcing rare vintage Levi’s® and accumulating one of the most expansive personal collections the world has to offer, NIGO teams up with the brand he holds close to his heart for the third time to celebrate its iconic 501® jeans on their 150th anniversary.
Recreating the Japanese streetwear pioneer’s favourite archive piece for the present day, the one-of-a-kind collection offers a pair of Hickory Stripe 501® jeans and a 557XX Hickory Stripe Trucker Jacket.
“Using the past as my reference book, I am honored to bring this archival 501® back during the 150th anniversary.” said NIGO
Crafted from 13oz Hickory Stripe selvedge denim with signature branded touches and specific threads and shanks to match the archival reference piece, each design will arrive with a special-edition Levi’s® x NIGO 150th anniversary tote bag and co-branded hangtag.
Presented alongside a short campaign film shot in NIGO’s hometown, the Levi’s® x NIGO collection launches worldwide on April 6th and will be available both in-store and online at levi.com and humanmade.jp.
