Satisfy, Levi’s upcycle 501s into high-performance climbing jeans

French performance brand Satisfy has partnered with Levi’s to unveil the 501 Re-Possessed Climb Jean, a limited-edition capsule collection that reimagines vintage Levi’s 501 jeans for extreme climbing conditions.

The collection features 200 handpicked “Made in USA” 501 jeans, each unique with varying washes and authentic time-worn details such as rips and distressed textures. These jeans are enhanced with cutting-edge materials to endure rugged terrains, steep falls, and long days on the crag.

This launch is part of Satisfy’s Re-Possessed program, which repurposes existing garments to create unique, high-performance pieces. Previous drops have included Runner’s World vintage T-shirts and other upcycled apparel.

The collection also introduces a co-branded cowboy-themed T-shirt made from SoftCell Cordura jersey, a durable Japanese fabric blending engineered nylon fibers with soft cotton for extreme durability and comfort.

By merging Levi’s iconic heritage with Satisfy’s technical expertise, the collection celebrates sustainability, craftsmanship, and innovation in performance wear.
