Levi’s® X Original Fake® – a collaboration between Levi’s® and the Japanese streetwear label founded by graffiti legend KAWS, now in its fifth edition – will finally arrive in Europe for the first time this September.

Previously available only in Asia, the line comprises three sharp jeans styles each with KAWS’ signature “Tooth Mark”, a motif that is recognised worldwide amongst urban art fans.

There are three different fits – two styles based are on vintage Levi’s® 501® Jeans and a third is a unique Cargo style, based on a silhouette from Original Fake’s mainline collection. The Levi’s® 501® Jeans are styled on the iconic design from 1947 and 1955 and feature a customised zip fly.

All three styles, each with a unique ‘Tooth’ accent colour way of either fluorescent green, navy blue or red, are made of selvage 12oz indigo denim. The “Tooth Mark” is printed in red on the selvage, adding extra bite to the design when the pants are rolled up.

The Cargo is offered in pure rigid denim. The unique dark vintage finish of each pair of 501® jeans is inspired by KAWS’ own Levi’s® Vintage Jeans and makes use of Levi’s® finishing expertise.
