Last week, we had a preview of the upcoming Levi’s sneakers. These shoes are special because they are constructed from different pairs of jeans meaning no two pairs will be the same. For the release of the shoes, the sneaker boutique from Taipei, Taiwan is hosting an exhibition which shows off the sneakers. The exhibition runs from February 23 to March 22. The shoes will be release soon as well.
The latest releases from Levi’s Fenom has yielded both a Pin Strip Western Shirt and a pair of Black Woof denim. The L/S shirts are hand-stitched with subtle stitch details against the striped design. Unlike previous Fenom releases, the Black Woof is much more subdued with subtle distressing and the trademark Fenom logo on the back pocket. Available at Tab Device.
Levi’s is set to release their own series of denim sneakers. What’s unique about these shoes are that not two pairs are the same. This is because Levi’s has gathered and collected jeans that have been worn, taken the material and reconstructed into something unique. Each shoe is handmade so each sneaker will have a different contruction. They will be available soon in China for $499 RMB and will be limited to 300 pairs.

And just like almost every other pair of denim from the Fenom line, it has the Fragment logo on the back pocket. Available now at Tab Device for 45,150 Yen.
Levi’s back pocket has raised a lot of controversy in the past, as Levi’s hit to the courts in efforts to thwart the further use of their iconic and trademarked arcrute design. In the Backpocket Gallery, a group of artists were chosen to design their very own back pocket. Each artist embarked on capturing the theme for which Levi’s has stood for in its long and storied history. The whole range of artist designs can be seen over at Levi’s Backpocket Gallery.
