Balancing High Performance with Refined Style
The jeans in the "511 Skateboarding Collection" are groundbreaking items based on Levi's® popular 511 skinny silhouette.
Developed in collaboration with Cone Denim, the special denim fabric for this collection features Nike's sweat-wicking and quick-drying DRI-FIT technology and 2-way stretch for ease of movement. It offers a lightweight, flexible, and comfortable feel. Environmental considerations are also paramount, with Levi's® Water<Less™> technology minimizing water usage during production.
The Team Edition denim, a premium line, incorporates Vectran, a fiber woven for extreme durability in the demanding conditions of skateboarding, further enhancing the inherent strength of denim.
Of course, the signature details of jeans are preserved. All products feature rivets, and bar tacks are applied to high-wear areas for increased strength. This collection's products are equipped with leather patches and buttons bearing the icons of both Levi's® and Nike. The pocket bags are adorned with the woodgrain pattern, a signature of Nike SB. The lineup includes both unwashed and washed finishes.

Beyond jeans, this collection will also feature trucker jackets made from the same fabric, as well as signature model shoes from Nike's pro rider, Omar Salazar. This collaboration is set to captivate not only sports fans but also fashion enthusiasts. We eagerly anticipate experiencing the future of denim as envisioned by these two brands.
