There is a new jean for Highsnobiety's trend-setting "cultural pioneers."

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the 501 jean, Levi's hired the Berlin-based digital media and culture consultancy to create and market a limited-edition pair of jeans.

Only 150 pairs of the $165 retailing jeans are offered only on Highsnobiety's website. 

The traditional blue stonewash tint of the jean is accented by a white "HS" emblem stitched below the right pocket. 

Inside each pair is a "Love 150/150" label that represents a numerical sequence designating the pair's unique number within the limited edition run. 

Since the development of the 501 jeans, Levi's has utilized an identification system.

The 501 collaboration also has a media element, keeping with Highsnobiety's origins. 

The bottom of the rear pocket of each pair of jeans features a QR code that leads to a video.

Here, Herbert Hofmann, vice president of creative and buying at Highsnobiety, discusses his long-standing affinity with Levi's as "a core piece of fashion and self-expression."

Along with partnerships with JJJound and Nigo, the Highsnobiety x Levi's 501 is one of a number of fashion industry figures and designers who have come together to celebrate the milestone of this classic style. 

The first-ever plant-based 501 model manufactured with 97 percent bio-based materials was unveiled by Levi's last week. 

Later this year, it will introduce 501 denim and hemp-infused cottoned hemp denim.
