As LeviāsĀ® Stadium hosts the Big Game, LeviāsĀ® proudly celebrates its hometown roots through unique product collaborations, live music, community programming and more.
LeviāsĀ® today announced Home Turf, an immersive pop-up experience in San Francisco that celebrates sports, fashion, music and the authentic energy of the Bay Area, all coinciding with LeviāsĀ® Stadium hosting the Big Game. As global attention turns to the Bay Area, LeviāsĀ® is leveraging this hometown moment to remind the world of San Franciscoās iconic roots while showcasing how cultural experiences fuel brand growth.
āThis moment is about more than a game; itās a cultural cornerstone that brings people together,ā said Michelle Gass, president and chief executive officer of Levi Strauss & Co. āSan Francisco is our hometown, and weāre proud to celebrate one of the biggest sports stages right here where music, fashion and sports intersect in such a unique way. This global moment gives us the chance to remind the world why San Francisco has always been a hub of creativity and self-expression and why those values are at the heart of everything we do.ā
āFew brands can authentically play across so many facets of culture, including sports, in the way LeviāsĀ® consistently does,ā said Kenny Mitchell, chief marketing officer at Levi Strauss & Co. āAs a brand that continues to live at the center of culture, weāre honored to hold the naming rights to LeviāsĀ® Stadium ā a global stage on our āhome turfā that connects generations of fans through the unifying and positive power of sport, music and creativity.ā
Throughout the week, LeviāsĀ® will activate a series of fan-first experiences across the Bay Area that underscore the companyās strategy of being brand-led and pivoting into a direct-to-consumer first retailer. The centerpiece is a multi-day pop-up at 1 Montgomery in San Franciscoās financial district, produced in partnership with San Francisco-based record label EMPIRE, featuring a range of activations including:
- Exclusive Product Collaborations: The LeviāsĀ® brand will unveil a series of limited-edition collaborations designed to merge sport, style and Bay Area culture. Earlier this month, the brand launched a partnership with the Jordan Brand that will bring exclusive sneaker and apparel releases to the Home Turf pop-up, featuring customization opportunities including embroidered patches and specialty lace locks. Then on February 2, a Starter collaboration will launch at select Bay Area LeviāsĀ® retail locations with NFL team jackets that blend authentic athletic heritage with distinctive style. Additional collaborative releases will debut throughout the week, available exclusively at the One Montgomery pop-up and Bay Area LeviāsĀ® stores. These collaborations reflect LeviāsĀ® commitment to blending sports and fashion while celebrating Bay Area creativity.
- Unique Music Performances: At Home Turf, LeviāsĀ® will amplify its deep connection with music through a lineup that spotlights Bay Area artists and sounds. The experience kicks off with a high-energy pep rally featuring local rapper LaRussell and a marching band, setting the tone for a week rooted in rhythm, community and culture. In partnership with NPR, Home Turf will host live Tiny Desk performances from Goapele, P-Lo, Souls of Mischief and Ruby Ibarra, marking the first time the iconic concert series recreates its beloved set outside of NPRās headquarters. Rounding out the experience, an immersive EMPIRE exhibition celebrating 15 years of Bay Area hip-hop, offering visitors a powerful look at the regionās musical legacy and its lasting influence on global culture.
- Design and Sustainability Spotlight: At Home Turf, a curated series of conversations, displays and hands-on workshops bring the meaning and longevity of LeviāsĀ® clothing to life. On Saturday, February 7, the company will host a Wear Longer Project panel and workshop featuring Kristin Juszczyk, designer and co-founder of Off Season; Jason Mayden, chief design and visioneering officer at Jordan Brand; and Paul Dillinger, head of global design innovation at Levi Strauss & Co. The conversation will explore the intersection of design, sustainability and sports culture while engaging the local community in rethinking how garments can be repaired, refreshed and reimagined to last longer. Throughout the week, repair and customization workshops invite attendees to transform their pieces into personal expressions of style.
- LeviāsĀ® Bay Area Stores as Cultural Hubs: Throughout the week, select Bay Area LeviāsĀ® stores will host appearances by prominent local partners like E-40, 49er players and other influential athletes and musicians, creating special moments for fans and reinforcing the brand's connection to local communities. Exclusive E-40 graphic tees will be available for purchase as part of the LeviāsĀ® brandās broader collection of artist tees. For LeviāsĀ® Red TabĀ® members, limited-edition LeviāsĀ® Home Turf Trading Cards will be available, with select prize packs offering exclusive access to Home Turf events, LeviāsĀ® x Jordan sneakers or LeviāsĀ® gift cards. For fans outside of the Bay Area, a U.S. nationwide sweepstakes will offer the chance to win a Home Turf prize pack featuring collaborative products and commemorative items from the week's activations.
- LeviāsĀ® Heritage and History Celebrated: Located steps from Home Turf at the Levi Strauss & Co. headquarters, the company will unveil a curated display of rare artifacts from its historical museum, The Vault, spotlighting the brandās deep-rooted connection to sports. The new exhibit, āGame On! LeviāsĀ® and the World of Sports,ā will open Friday, February 6, and will further celebrate LeviāsĀ® legacy at the intersection of sports, culture and fashion. On display will be iconic pieces including the Team USA LeviāsĀ® velour set worn by a gold medalist in 1984 and the Team Mexico LeviāsĀ® suit worn during the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, offering a powerful look at the brandās role in shaping global sports culture.
Home Turf represents the LeviāsĀ® brandās commitment to celebrating its Bay Area roots while creating cultural moments that resonate far beyond the region. Through partnerships with local institutions like EMPIRE and homegrown retail partners, the activation honors the communities that have shaped both the brand and the city.
