Levi's introduces a look at its new launch in the form of the Sonic Youth Band Tee collection. It is a series of Sonic Youth tees that are crafted in a vintage look detailed with rare, era-authentic art. The capsule features five tees which are all based on the brand's favorite emblems. This includes the Bomb Pop, Animal Grid, Dirty Alien, and Washing Machine print.
The brand also matches the color and shading of all shirts to the original iteration. The band notes in a statement, “Rock & roll bands, whether they’re Classic, Metal, Punk, or Pop, have always worn Levi’s on and off the stage. As a band defining the interplay of the radical and traditional, we are excited to partner with Levi’s to crank up the noise and spread the good word.”
