A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
o rly, my dear, all I'm saying is that Levis aren't as popular as they once were, especially with people in my age group. Does this make all 12-20 year olds morons? Just because they wear different clothes than you do? No, that would be a fairly superficial notion. Much more superficial than you seem to think my generation is. I just don't think this will rocket Levis back into the spotlight, pushing Lucky, AandF, AE, Evisu, Sevens, Rock and Republic and all those other "hipper" brands out of the way.
Oh and FYI, I don't watch MTV, or VH1. I think celebrities are morons (its not my fault if they dress like me). But I have been known to go to the odd movie every now and again; please don't crucify me for it.
PS- I just noticed the way you spelled favorite. Perhaps our problem is that styles are just different in our different countries?
No superfreak, it makes you and possibly your friends morons. Mentioning that celebrities are morons yet trying to be like them is lame. Trying to insinuate you're some sort of trendsetter by saying "they dress like me" is even lamer, especially when your whole previous post is about "7 for All Mankinds" (sic) and the sentence before then you mention the current "trendy jeans" yet haven't mentioned any good denim yet.
This is the part where you use Google Power to find some good denim and reply that you know about "denim type X" and "brand X" and "method X used in denim X" etc.
lol @ $200 being better spent on "7 for All Mankinds" (sic). You really know your denim and aren't a trendwhore at all! I wouldn't be surprised if you wear "Lucky, AandF, AE, Evisu, Sevens, Rock and Republic" because your favourite celebrity (moron) does; keep trying to emulate them, then trying to deny it.
The irony is in the name of course.
Wow. That's juts a watse of R&D money. How about someone coming up with some bluetooth iPods and some blue tooth headphone so I don't hafta deal with the stupid cords.
This is just excess at its highest levels, anyone who buys these should not be allowed to manage anything relating to money ever. As if the white head phones didnt give you away to muggers now your pants will too. Nice. And no one can defend such a sin against all common sense, this is just excess
Nothing can get between me and my Calvin's. Nothing.
hmmmmmmm aren't they makin ipod shoes??? and didnt they make ipod underware? wat next ipod bras!
seriously next thing u no ull be wearin ipod bras!!!
Ok, there is one thing that bothes me about the reaction to this -- it seems that when the lead is positive everyone is falling over each othr to be the first to have it and if not then they want to be the first to dis it...
Funny how you can be sheep by agreeing to disagree -- as well.
There is no such thing as an independant idea that arises seperate from the society and history that produced it...
Art, fasion, technology.. or even my rants :)

it seams Levi is pulling on its last strings to attrack buissness
i dont want to lose my pants if my ipod gets jacked wlaking to school! that would be bad.
wow. wtf. im pretty sure apple's just running out of ideas. jeans...for ur iPod. come on.
OH GOSH! I WANT A PAIR!!!! Somewhere our high schools tech teacher mr. montini is crying as he worships the technology
Rich losers are already willing to spend 100+ dollars on jeans that don't even have an ipod holder. So what will it matter to them how much it is. And Apple isnt the one who is stupid for making them, It's the people who buy them and they definently will.
i hav a ipod but i wud NEVER buy those.i kno tons of nerdy computer retards who would but i wouldnt. those jeans arent even in style.only a total geek would buy jeans for 200 bucks that arent even in style.
AND TO ALL YOU GEEKS WHO ARE LIKE,"I TOTALLY NEED THESE",DONT BUY EM.ANYWAYS JEANS HAVE POCKETS.USE THEM!
Cool. I don't own an iPod because it'd fall out of my pocket when I sat down and I didn't want to be tethered to my backpack all day. Plus, I like the color. It's hard to find straight legged mid-rise jeans in such a rich hue. Now, I think I'll buy both the jeans an iPod at the same time. Perfect!
I'll be sure to start packin' a spray bottle full of bleach when these badboys hit the market. That'll be sure to ruin some jackass kid's day.
I can buy myself another iPod with that price tag.
my god, apple / levi's has blown the lid off of blood pressure monitor fashion.
America is just so wanting to have all the latest gadets,some people will pay anything to have them. But if you want to save money and still look "cool", just put the damn iPod in your pocket and call it a day.
Come on apple, iPod jeans, please. People please don't watse your money on this. You could do the same thing tat home. Buy at pair of jeans at sears for $20 and then take your iPod and put it in your pocket and call it a day. Wow see isnt that better than $250. I think so0o0o0.
Who can get anyone anyone to advocate for this junk??? that's what i want to know...
who will do the promotional commercials? who will model these proudly?
hmmm big flaw (besides the product itself)
George Kent, you're gay.
ALL YOUR BASE
ARE BELONG TO US
=0
now, i understand the idea behind this, cause ive been annoyed dragging out the ipod from the pocket so i could just adjust the volume, but i do have a few things against it.
1) I wonder, like everyone else, HOW DO U WASH THESE THINGS??
2) How is the wheel helpful if u want a new song...unless uve memorized ur playlist, ull have to scroll from song to song to get anywhere anyway.
3) why would u shell out 200 for an ipod, just so u could shell out 250 for a jean version of an ipod holder? im sorry, i saw a cooler version, an ibag, which actually has speakers on it, not earphones, and is also an interesting bag. bones points, its only like 25 dollars. now, that works, not exactly fashionable, but what outside of the actual ipod covers are? i am not going to shell out more than 50 for jeans, maybe even 60 if im feeling SUPER generous and wealthy, but paying an extra 200 so i could have some earphones and a wheel in my jeans? i could buy the earphones for about 20 or less, put the ipod in my normal pocket, and pay myself 180 dollars to take it out of my dang pocket!!
I am so planning on buy those pants. the moment they go on sale for 50 bucks. no way in hell am i going to pay and more for some ipants. and i would really love to know how to wash them. i would probably just buy them to find out how to wash them!lol.jk
if ur reading this and u buy one sooner or later. please.i mean please. post a comment so i can soo laugh at who ever u r!lol
Maybe just maybe if these pants had some style then i would buy them. Maybe if levi's jeans just cut a hole in the pocket and added some clear shit over the hole so the person can place the ipod in there pocket and not have to take it out if they want to adjust the volume. But having that red thing is.. well lemme say this.. stuipd.
im not one whos been in fashion her whole life.. i just recently got into it my sophmore year [junior now] & even before i got into fashion i could tell you that these pants are not flattering and never will be and that i would never have wore them style or no style.
People will bring back the 60's before these pants ever make it.
ipod pants? next thing u no theyll be making bathroom pants: in a hurry to take a pee? just push a button and let it all just flow!

its not as bad at nike shoe ipod!
Well, all the comments that can really be commented (that sounded odd...) have already been...well...commented.
The only thing I can say is this--why bother buying ipods at all? They're gonna be replaced within the next two years anyways. Probably gonna end up with all the music and tv being directly downloaded into our ocipital lobe...
Hey, imagine what the first impressions were of the "hula hoop". Wait a minute...I'm dating myself and disqualifying myself from legitimate comments about contemporary fashion. Andy Worhol, please forgive me.......
Now you can grab your crotch and say "I got your docking station right here!" and not just be spinning a line.
Ha! What a joke...ridiculous. No wonder the models didn't show their faces! Anyone who would wear these deserves to be laughed at. Such a waste of money. Sorry to anyone who DOES actually like them, but in saying this, I know many others feel the same!
no thank you i will stay with my jeans
GREAT idea for any rich parents who want to have their kids head stuck in a toilet at school !!! perfect !! ya think the IPOD doo hicky still works if it's submerged in a toilet ?? LOL
Didn't Apple design the Ipod so it would fit into the small pocket above the regular jean pocket ? Trends will come and they will go. Now would someone please bring back the double beer hat, I'm thirsty!!!
So... how do you wash it...?
Maybe if my Grandaughter who is 13 had a place to put her fifth generation Ipod,she wouldn't have had it stolen from her gym locker during track-she is a first place runner who goes to a school that does have locks for "all the sports lockers"! Too late for her, but good luck to the next kid whose Grandma tries to give a nice gift for Christmas!
Are you serious? Wow.... there are some special people out there....
This is one of the most ridiculous inventions I've ever seen! This is another piece of evidence to conclude one thing - Apple is taking over the world, one everyday item at a time...
yes, nerd... it will be popular with the myspace kids. I showed my daughter the pic and she said "They are so kickass!!"
and, forgot to mention... she doesn't even have an ipod. It was too expensive, so we got her a Sony mp3 player...
Who cares about the lameness, it looks like total CRAP! Look at the controls...cheap plasticly crap. Even the jeans look like they're from Wal-Mart.
yeah iknow what ya'll are saying, i mean mine already went through the wash..How much longer until the schools catch on, and $$$doesn't grow on trees..
For the people asking how to wash these...
Im sure the stuff comes out so u can wash them. Otherwise they wouldnt make these. COMMON SENSE!!
Ok, so when your kids are jumped by thugs on the way home, they now end up without their sneakers, their mobile AND their Levi iPod jeans!
