Icon Recognizes Icon

Introducing Lee x Basquiat, where legendary denim meets groundbreaking art—in styles ready for you to make your mark.

Driven by a Pioneering Spirit

Jean-Michel Basquiat turned the NYC art world on its head in the 1980s, creating that iconic street-art-meets-high-art style that to this day shapes culture. Much can be said for Lee Jeans—influencing the world of denim since the 1880s to create iconic styles like the Rider, a true first that’s often copied, but never replicated.

Breaking barriers is in our shared DNA

Our collaboration pushes the limits of self expression, pairing bright colors and striking graphics with fresh Lee silhouettes. From splatter-painted jeans, to boldly-striped sweaters and crown-adorned denim, there’s a style for everyone ready to embrace their icon status.
