Ang Levi’s at Jordan Brand ay dalawang legacy na pinagdurugtong ng iisang sinulid: greatness. Lumilitaw ang pinagsasaluhang ethos na ito sa pinakabago nilang collaborative collection, na binubuo ng apat na Air Jordan 3 at isang complementary apparel range na nagbubuklod sa craftsmanship at sportswear. Mga paboritong motif ang inilapat sa heritage-driven na mga disenyo, na ni-rework para sa isang makabagong streetwear sensibility.

Si Spike Lee, isa sa mga sentrong personalidad ng campaign, ay nakipagkuwentuhan sa amin para pag-usapan ang collaboration, balikan kung gaano kaimportante ang work ethic, at sariwain ang mga unang encounter niya kay Michael Jordan.

Lumalampas ang proyekto kay Lee mismo. Nakaset sa isang neighborhood park, pinagbubuklod ng campaign ang iba’t ibang komunidad na naka-Levi’s x Jordan Brand mula ulo hanggang paa, styled ni Cam Hicks. Kasama ni Lee si Jay Wright, anak ni Larry Wright na lumabas sa iconic na “Button Your Fly” ad noong early ’90s. Present din ang skater na si Josh Velez at ang artist na si Rio Amor, habang isang Tai Chi group ang kumukumpleto sa cast, suot ang espesyal na “Year of the Horse”-themed na Air Jordan 3.

Para sa dalawang collaborator, ang greatness ay nasusukat sa dedikasyon sa craft at sa paninindigan sa sariling pagkakakilanlan. Ang pilosopiyang iyon ay pinag-iisa ng denim, ang common denominator ng collection, na dumadaloy sa bawat look at bawat grupong tampok.

Bago tayo lumalim sa usapan namin kay Lee, himayin muna natin ang 13-piece collection, simula sa centerpiece nito: ang Air Jordan 3. Ang “Rigid” colorway ay may classic indigo denim panels na pinatungan ng black-on-black elephant print sa paligid ng takong. Mas understated naman ang “Black” iteration, na pinaghalo ang pebbled black leather, black denim panels, at denim heel tab na may burdang Nike Air branding, na binabalanse ng banayad na gray accents.

Ipinagdiriwang ng “Year of the Horse” colorway ang Lunar New Year gamit ang unbleached rigid ecru denim. Exclusively itong i-release sa Greater China, Japan, at South Korea, at tampok dito ang pony hair panels, jacquard heel tab, at red chain-stitch embroidery sa loob ng dila ng sapatos bilang reference sa Year of the Horse. May kaparehong treatment sa Los Angeles-exclusive iteration (hindi nasa larawan), ngunit pinalitan ang motif ng pulang “City of Angels” text. Off-white pebbled leather at maingat na inilagay na blue denim accents ang kumukumpleto sa upper.

Lahat ng apat na colorways ay tinapos gamit ang signature na Levi’s Red Tab sa lateral side ng kanang sapatos. Nanatiling buo ang Jumpman branding, habang ang translucent na co-branded hang tag ay may espesyal na bersyon ng Levi’s leather patch. Sa loob, may red sockliner na naka-print ang iconic na dollar bill graphic ng Levi’s, na may linyang “This is a pair of Levi’s.”

Sa apparel side, ang Pinnacle Varsity Jacket ang nag-e-emerge na hero piece. Ang maximalist construction nito ay pinagsasama ang melton wool body at leather sleeves, na kinukumpleto ng quilted satin lining at vintage-inspired graphics mula sa archives ng dalawang brand. Nagpapatuloy ang laro ng past at present sa buong range: ang Football Jersey ay may cropped, boxy silhouette; ang Overshirt Jacket ay gawa sa 12-ounce rinsed indigo denim; at ang Type III Trucker ay dumarating sa black washed denim na may aged tint at oversized Wings logo sa likod. Umaabot din ang co-branding sa mga pang-araw-araw na staple tulad ng Fleece Zip Hoodie at Short Sleeve Shirt, kung saan muling binuhay ng huli ang Levi’s “Button Your Fly” graphic mula sa original na campaign ni Spike Lee.

Muling binalikan din ng Levi’s at Jordan Brand ang denim specialist’s 578 silhouette sa pamamagitan ng Black Baggy Jean. Dinisenyo itong i-partner sa footwear, at ang extended inseam nito ay nagpapaganda ng stacking sa ibabaw ng sneakers. May kaparehong sensibility ang Baggy Shorts, na gawa sa 12-ounce rinsed indigo denim na may pleats at below-the-knee na haba. Kumukumpleto sa collection ang Denim Cap, na may Air Jordan embroidery at Levi’s Red Tab sa ibabaw ng rinsed indigo.

Ang tagline ng campaign ay “everyday greatness.” Ano ang ibig sabihin ng “everyday greatness” para sa’yo?

Spike Lee: Isang mentality ’yan. Hindi ka magiging great araw-araw. Pero pag gising mo sa umaga, iyon ang goal. Kailangan mong trabahuhin ang pagiging great. Hindi ka lang basta susulpot at great ka na. Dapat bitbit mo ang work ethic at mentality para maabot ito. Kapag nagkunwari ka lang, mabubuking at mabubuking ka.

Kung titingnan mo mismo ang campaign, may dalawa tayong magagaling na American brands na naging international icons. Pag nakita mo ang Jumpman at ang leather patch na magkatabi, iyon mismo ang larawan ng greatness.

“Hindi ka magiging great araw-araw. Pero pag gising mo sa umaga, iyon ang goal. Kailangan mong trabahuhin ang pagiging great. Hindi ka lang basta susulpot at great ka na.”

Kuwentuhan mo pa kami tungkol sa early days ng pagtatrabaho mo sa kung ano ang kilala na ngayon bilang Jordan Brand.

Ang pagiging bahagi ng partnership ni Michael Jordan at Nike ay isa sa pinakamalalaking bagay na nangyari sa buhay ko. Kailangan kong bigyang-pugay ang yumaong si Jim Riswold. Nagtatrabaho siya noon sa Wieden+Kennedy at napanood niya ang una kong pelikula, ang She’s Gotta Have It, na mag-40 na ngayong taon. somehow natunton niya ang number ko at iminungkahi na ipartner ako kay Michael Jordan. Ang catch: wala talagang ideya si Jordan kung sino ako. Dumating sa punto na nilakasan ko ang loob ko at tinanong siya, “Bakit natin ’to ginawa nang magkasama? Ni hindi mo nga ako kilala.” Tiningnan niya ako, nakangiti, at sabi niya, “Motherf*cker, suot mo ang sapatos ko.”

Marami ko nang beses itong sinabi at uulitin ko pa: malaking karangalan at pribilehiyo para sa akin na ilang beses akong tinawag na “Motherf*cker” ni Michael Jordan, lalo na sa Madison Square Garden. Mahilig akong mag-trash talk at sasabihin niya sa akin na umupo na ang payat kong puwit sa upuan ko, at gagawin ko naman agad. Isa siyang sobrang bait na tao, pero noon, kapag nasa court siya, assassin siya. Alam mo na may gagawin siyang kakaiba, talagang phenomenal, at matatalo ang Knicks—at saksi ako roon. Pagkatapos, makakapagbiruan na kami, pero habang tumatakbo ang game, hindi siya nagbibiro. Most definitely, hindi siya nagbibiro.

Ano ang inaasahan mong maging response ng audience sa campaign? May particular na feeling ka bang gustong ma-bring out?

Ito ang pagsasanib ng dalawang iconic brands na muling nagsama. Isang perfect marriage—iconic talaga. Para sa akin, iyon ang tamang salita. At hindi lang ito tungkol sa sneakers, may t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, jean jackets, the whole deal.

“Craftsmanship meets sport culture: classic cuts are recoded, and sport codes are denimized.” Gusto ko ’yon. Hindi ko sinulat ’yan, pero ang sarap pakinggan, ’di ba? Hindi ka magkakamali rito. May suot na nga ako ngayon, at parating pa ang iba. Kaya magfa-flossing na ako.

“Dumating sa punto na nilakasan ko ang loob ko at tinanong si Jordan, ‘Bakit natin ’to ginawa nang magkasama? Ni hindi mo nga ako kilala.’ Tiningnan niya ako, nakangiti, at sabi niya, ‘Motherf*cker, suot mo ang sapatos ko.’”

Nakikita mo ba ang mga collabs na ito bilang pagpe-preserve ng history o para itulak ito paabante?

Pareho. Mahirap gawin, pero nagagawa ito ng Levi’s at Jordan Brand. Kino-capture mo ang history tapos itinataas at itinutulak mo pa ito pasulong. Kapag naipagsama mo ang past at present, napakagandang formula niyan para sa success.

Ano ang ibig sabihin para sa’yo na maging bahagi ng patuloy na umuunlad na legacy ng Jordan Brand matapos ang lahat ng taong ito?

Nabuhay ako ng isang sobrang blessed na buhay. Nakilala ko ang napakaraming great na tao at kumpanya. Hindi ko ’yan tine-take for granted kahit kailan. Nasa akin pa rin ang parehong spirit at energy na nag-inspire sa akin noong bata pa akong taga-Brooklyn, bago ko pa nalaman na gusto kong maging filmmaker. Alam kong walang panghabang-buhay, kaya ini-enjoy ko ang bawat oras na meron ako.

Ang dami nang pagkakataon na parang regalo na lang ng mundo ang mga nangyari sa akin. Hindi ko inakala na isasama ako sa campaign na ito. Kaya kapag may email o tawag akong natatanggap, blessing iyon para sa akin. Hindi naman ako nakaupo lang na nagdadasal na may campaign na dumating. Ginagawa ko lang ang trabaho ko, at kapag may mga sandaling tulad nito, blessing iyon. Tuloy-tuloy lang ako sa paggawa, paggawa, at paggawa, at nakikita iyon ng mga kumpanya. Ngayon, pinag-uusapan natin ang evolution ng Levi’s x Jordan Brand partnership, at masaya akong bahagi ako nito. Itinuturing ko ang sarili ko na parte ng Jordan Brand at Levi’s family, kaya gagamitin ko ulit ang salitang ito: blessing ito.


Magsisimula ang rollout ng Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 campaign sa January 23, sa paglabas ng “Year of the Horse” colorway sa piling retailers sa Asia, kabilang ang HBX. Kasunod nito, magiging available ang “Rigid” pair at buong apparel range sa San Francisco sa February 5. Kumukumpleto sa region-based drops ang “Los Angeles” version ng sapatos, na lalapag sa lungsod sa February 13. Nakatakda naman ang global drop sa February 20 sa pamamagitan ng Levi’s.
