By now everyone knows that nothing thrills the fashion community quite like a collaboration between two beloved labels. However, as exciting as these collaborations are, more often than not, one brand will be forced to a backseat whilst the other takes precedence. For their FW20 Capsule collection, New Balance and Levi’s have decided to buck the trend—blending their quintessential design languages in harmoniously equal measure. A result that photographer, stylist, and creative director, Cam Hicks, describes with a “yin-yang”, archetype of dualism, celebration of the union between two distinct forces coming together. The pick of the bunch from the collection is the emblematic Levi’s Trucker Jacket that has collided with New Balance’s unmistakable ‘N’— responding to the Gen Z logotype-mania—to create a piece that would slot into any streetwear aficionado’s wardrobe. Few labels can rival the cultural caché that both Levi’s and New Balance possess. The two have reached a point where their pieces simply cannot go out of style, so it should come as no surprise that by joining forces, more of the same is served up.
