New year, new Levi's sneakers. This time, Nike's iconic Air Jordan 3 gets its own pair of the world-famous jeans.

Rumors of the latest collaboration began to swirl in 2025, with official images of the Levi's x Jordan 3 sneakers landing right at the top of 2026.

Like previous Levi's x Nike linkups, the AJ3 collaboration arrives in three colorways, including black, classic blue denim, and a "Sail" version. Of course, they're all clad in Levi's classic denim and slick leather.

The "Sail" pairs will feature both denim and pony hair, honoring the Year of the Horse and naturally keeping up the Levi's sneakers mania.

The denim brand brought its iconic raw material to the Nike Air Max 95 in 2025, giving the sneaker an ultra-stylish spin for its 30th birthday. Before that, Levi's took the Air Jordan 4 for a spin in 2018, resulting in three coveted, ultra-crisp takes on the signature model.

Now, the Jordan 3 is wearing the pants, Levi's ones, at that.

The Levi's x Jordan 3 sneaker collab is expected to drop on Nike's website (finally) on February 21, accompanied by a Spike Lee-led campaign and a clothing capsule that includes a pretty impressive varsity jacket.

2026 is off to a pretty denim-good start, to say the least.
