We generally don’t talk about none sneakers here at Sneaker News but certain sneaker related items are always worth a mention. Since extremely successful release of the Air Jordan Elephant Print track jacket from last Spring, Jordan Brand has decided to release a variation of the theme but this time on a classic Member’s Only style jacket. This jacket features the classic elephant print and black and white details and not the big logos that generally ruin cool simple clothing. A light blue colorway is also available. You can find this jacket at select top tier Jordan retailers, Niketowns and Eastbay.com.

In part 1 of our detailed report on the Air Jordan x Levi’s 23/501 Denim Pack we took look at the packaging and the denim, for part two, we are geeking out on the Air Jordan Retro 1 from the package. The Retro 1 from this package is quite stunning in person with the premium red leather, gold stitching, gold eyelets and of course the elephant print Levis selvedge denim used on the toebox, sidewall and the upper heel. Also a nice detail is the classic Levis red tab on the inner sidewall.

It’s almost here! One of the most anticipated collaborations of all time, the Air Jordan x Levi’s 23/501 Denim Pack. The package includes a pair of the Air Jordan Retro 1, a tee shirt and a pair of Levis 501 jeans. Officially these will be dropping in stores this coming Saturday March 1st, 2008. In part 1 of our detailed photo report on this pack we’ll take a look at the box and the denim. The draw-box is amazing featuring graphics designed by London based I Love Dust, top compartment is for the jeans and the bottom for the sneakers. The jeans are a selvage raw denim beautifully detailed with Jordan elements. The stand out is of course the elephant skin pattern that’s been screened into the inside of the jeans. Of course the best way to wear these is to fold them a little at the bottom to show the selvedge denim and the elephant print. Other nice elements include the gold stitched logo on the left pocket and the Jordan stitched onto the insider back of the jeans. In part two we’ll take a detailed look at the Air Jordan Retro 1 from this pack.
