Spike Lee Debuts Levi's x Air Jordan 3 Collab Courtside at Knicks vs Nets

When Jordan Brand comes out with a new shoe, you know Spike Lee’s gotta have it. So when the Knicks and Nets faced off over the weekend in a highest-to-lowest home blowout at MSG, Spike did the right thing, taking his usual courtside seat in a new pair of Levi’s x Air Jordan 3s to demonstrate that he’s still an inside man with The Jumpman, and prove he’s still got sneaker game. Alright, enough Spike Lee puns, let’s get to the shoes.

Spike went back to his Mars Blackmon days as pitchman for a new collection of Levi’s x Air Jordan 3s, debuting the dark indigo colorway from the pack. The upper is covered in a raw denim style dark indigo wash, with grey elephant print on the toe and heel panel for an unmistakably classic look. The ankle collar features a perforated black leather, a red Levi’s tag like the one that hangs off the back pocket of 501s sits on the lateral lace panel, and a stark white outsole adds some contrast.

After seeing that pair pop out at MSG on Spike, we got a second look at the upcoming collab inside the Supreme New York store by way of Supreme employee and Jordan family member Josh Velez, who posted an Instagram story skating the same dark indigo colorway, doing incredibly clean kickflips and heelflips, regular and switch, inside the downtown Manhattan store.

In addition to the raw denim vibes of the indigo pair, the collection will also include a black denim pair and an All-Star colorway in a cream-colored sail. Hot off the success of the Levi’s x Nike Air Max 95 collab, the new Jordan collection is the latest in a long line of grail-status collabs between Jordan and the San Francisco denim legends. The duo last teamed up in 2018 on a pack of Air Jordan 4s.

The Levi’s x Air Jordan 3 Retro Collection will be released Spring 2026 through Nike and select Jordan retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizes for all three colorways and additional kids’ sizes for the indigo colorway, the retail prices are set at $230 for the adult pairs, $105 for grade school sizes, and $85 for pre-school sizes.
