Bubly and Apple Bottoms by Nelly have partnered on a limited-edition collaboration that unites nostalgic fashion with a seasonal flavor revival. The initiative coincides with the return of Bubly’s crisp apple sparkling water and introduces the 'Apple Bubly Jeans,' a special denim release inspired by early 2000s style.
The jeans revive Apple Bottoms’ signature apple-shaped pocket, a hallmark of the brand’s pop culture prominence, reinterpreted in a green wash with “Apple Bubly” embroidered across the back. Designed with both novelty and function in mind, the pockets can hold a can of Bubly while maintaining the playful aesthetic of the collaboration.
The release is presented as a curated bundle, retailing for $79. In addition to Apple Bubly sparkling water and the Limited-Edition Apple Bubly Jeans, the set includes Y2K-inspired accessories such as a themed tank top, keychain, mini denim clutch, and customizable iron-on patch.
