By now you’ve seen the Jordan Spiz’ikes (shout out to Spike Lee aka Mars Blackmon) and either copped them or wish you had the funds to.

Now Levis Strauss & Co., those denim making cats, want to get in on the flavor. The collaboration (men’s only for now, sorry ladies) will be named the 23/501 collection and will include a t-shirt, a pair of gold zippered Levis 501 jeans and a pair of Air Jordan Retro 1’s—all with special details highlighting the Jordan/Levis connection and enclosed in special packaging.

Though, retailing at $110 to $120, they are a tad bit pricey.
