Presented By Levi’s
If you’ve ever created an outfit grid or taken a social media sneaker shot, then you know that pairing the proper sneakers with the proper pants is a science. For those that live in Levi’s®, this isn’t an obstacle as much as it is a welcome challenge. Jeans aren’t exactly a “one size fits all” thing when it comes to pairing them with sneakers, because there are a wide variety of fits that pair better with certain types of sneakers, and we all know you have a closet full of shoes to choose from. So then, what are some unmistakable combinations as far as particular pairs of Levi’s and particular sneakers? Allow us to elaborate:
Levi’s 511 Slim Fit™ – Retro Runners
The 511 Slim Fit cut can only be described as “just right,” and there’s no better go-to pair of sneakers in any man’s closet than the Retro runner. Wear ‘em as is, or cuffed up a few rolls — the 511 was made for the classic sneaker style.
Commuter 504 Jean – Lifestyle sneakers
Levi’s Commuter Pants have been a hit since the line first debuted a couple of years ago. The fit, tailored for cyclists in urban regions, is great for pairing with more refined sneaker designs like high-tops and chukkas, while the strip of 3M that’s revealed when the pants are cuffs adds to the clean look.
Classic 501 – Air Jordans
The 501 cut is what put Levi’s on the map, so there’s no better sneaker to pair it up with than the single most sought-after sneaker out in the market. This combination of industry iconoclasts has stood the test of time, and won’t lose steam any time soon.
Skinny 510 – Skate shoes
The “skinny jeans and Vans” look has been a time-tested, age-old pairing in skate style. The 510 is the perfect option if this laid-back look fits your personality.
Regular 505 – Classic Tennis sneakers
Levi’s do-it-all straight-leg pant has been a mainstay in the brand’s most prized cuts of jean. What better to go with their Regular Fit than an equally versatile sneaker: the classic tennis shoe? The all-white sneaker look is back, and the 505 is the perfect pairing for the simple yet effective outfit.
