Futuristic and functional fashion from The Levi’s® brand and Gundam
BrandedUp in partnership with
It’s the collaboration you thought would never happen.
Since the release of the Mobile Suit Gundam series in 1979, the Gundam universe has steadily expanded. It has captivated audiences throughout the world with compelling characters and complex narratives. Set in a future where Earth is embroiled in conflicts between space colonies and the Earth Federation, the franchise has boldly explored novel technologies amidst the human condition.
Equally forward-thinking is the Levi's® brand, which continuously innovates and expands its iconic styles and classic garments to reflect the heart of culture. What better way to do this than to create new fashion with an eye towards the Gundam Universe’s overarching thematic battles and imaginative science fiction? Here it is, folks: A futuristic collection featuring the timeless appeal of Gundam and the enduring craft of Levi’s® apparel.
The intensity of sci-fi set in fashion
While there are countless characters and storylines within the Gundam universe, the humanoid Gundam machines piloted by talented humans are at the center of all the action. The Levi’s® x Gundam SEED collection captures the sci-fi beauty of the mobile suits and the recurring fight between different ideologies.
Leading the way are the Levi’s® x Gundam SEED ‘93 501® jeans and the matching Relaxed Fit Trucker Jacket. Made from indigo denim with a light stonewash finish, the jean and jacket both feature patterned prints of the Strike Gundam, a blue jacron backpatch, and a co-branded patch.
