Few sneakers say “stealth” quite like the Levi’s x Nike Air Max 95 in Black Denim. Arriving for Summer 2025, this all-black iteration strips things back and leans into tonal minimalism with a heavy dose of rugged texture.
The iconic wave-layered upper is reinterpreted in a blend of washed and raw black denim, referencing Levi’s’ deep heritage in workwear and its enduring relevance in street fashion.
This pair keeps it sharp and understated. The absence of contrast stitching or flashy accents draws focus to the build itself. The subtle shifts in texture between panels, the understated Levi’s style on the materials, and the classic Nike Air branding tucked neatly at the heel.
The midsole, matching in deep black, houses visible Air units in both the heel and forefoot, a hallmark of Sergio Lozano’s original 1995 design, made for comfort but equally appreciated now for its cultural legacy.
Levi’s and Nike have danced this dance before, perhaps most famously in 2008 with the Air Jordan 1 “23/501” pack, and again in 2018 when they dropped a series of indigo-dyed Jordan 4s that became instant classics.
This 2025 run marks their first foray into the Air Max 95, and it’s clear the denim giants aren’t taking shortcuts. Premium materials, co-branded insoles, and waxed laces elevate the package further, turning what could’ve been a gimmick into a serious contender for sneaker of the summer.
