Levi’s Debuts a Queer Biker-Inspired Collection for Pride 2026

Levi’s is channeling retro subcultures for its Pride 2026 rollout, dropping a rugged capsule inspired by the legacy of queer motorcycle clubs. Titled “Together, We Ride,” the brand moves away from standard rainbow graphics to highlight the protective, heavy-duty uniforms worn by early LGBTQIA+ road riders.

The design team worked with the GLBT Historical Society archives to pull genuine vintage imagery for the range. The capsule relies on leather-look coated denim, metal hardware and bold graphics. Key pieces include the patch-heavy Pride Trucker jacket, the Pride Vest and a pair of open-road Pride Chaps. For bottoms, the label updates its signature fit into the studded Pride 501 Jeans alongside a structured Pride Skirt.

The tops collection balances tough and soft textures, featuring a lace tank, a Shrunken Ringer shirt and a Pride Graphic Community Tee with a “Ride Together” back patch. Finishing touches come in the form of heavy accessories, including a thickly studded waist belt, leather-brimmed caps, a “Free to Ride” patterned bandana and various enamel pins. To back the release, the company is continuing its annual $100,000 contribution to human rights group Outright International.

The Levi’s Pride 2026 collection is available to shop at the brand’s website and across select retail locations.
