There are way too many iPod “products” on the market already, and most of them detract from the beauty and original intent of the iPod: functional art.
Levi’s should focus on reviving its century and half label to the status it once had, without resorting to lame gimmicks.

How does it take 9 to 10 months to put a pair of jeans like this out on the market?

Not that I will ever buy them, but doesnt it seem a little odd for Levi to be announcing a pair of jeans that you cant even buy for another three quarters of a year?

Does this even qualify as news?

I bet Levi’s still has to figure out how to make this concept actually work.

Is that an iPod in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Whoauhuhuhuhuh

they should place a warning on those jeans.

“remove ipod before washing/drying/ironing.”

my ipod fits well enough into my standard jeans

I don’t mind the idea of these at all, as long as the price isn’t rediculous. If there’s a small premium over their normal jeans I can see these doing pretty well. Smarter than iPodded jackets and backpacks anyway.

Any idea on what style jeans Levis are basing them on? Here’s hoping they do a 520 of these…

I only buy Levi’s carpenter jeans because they have the side pockets on *both* sides. The pocket is perfect for my 60Gig ipod 4G. In my car which sits low, however, my devices slide out. I was hoping part of this annoucement included velcro at top, inside the pocket to prevent this. Is anyone from Levis listening?

I have a pair of the Dockers mobie pants, which has two secret compartments on each pants leg, with a hidden zipper.

@klwdallas

Get a needle and thread out you lazy toerag and stitch you own velcro on

My local news in San Francisco mentioned that the iPod Levis would be around the $200 mark!

While I’d love to meet the ##### who throws down that much money for a pair of Levis, I think I’ll just stick to just using my $29 (now $50) remote with ipod safely nestled away in the pocket or my more mundane but $25 pair of Levis.

Where the hell do you get a pair of Levis for $25??

Out on this side of the globe, a normal pair of Levis is about au$100-$120 (us$75-90)!

If there iPod levi’s are us$200 - then that is indeed rediculous. I could understand if they were about $50-60 more than a normal pair, but $200 is pretty rediculous.
That said, the amount some people spend on jeans these days can be insane (I’ve seen pairs for $600!!!)

I hate Levis jeans.  How about some designer Prada or Polo jeans?  I bet it would be much more pimp than some nasty Levis..

Oh yea!  The article above says, ‘Pricing and photos are now available at this time.’  Should that read, ‘Pricing and photos are NOT available at this time?’  I can’t find any pictures of these jeans anywhere..

Seems like a big typo?
