The Levi’s Barrel Racer Jeans are a special designer collaboration between Emily Adams Bode Aujla’s label Bode and Levi’s. They were introduced as part of Bode’s Fall 2026 “Bodeo Rodeo” collection.
The term Barrel Racer refers to rodeo riders who compete in barrel racing, which heavily influenced the Western aesthetic of the collection. FYI: Barrel racing is where riders race horses around three barrels in a cloverleaf pattern.
This denim style comes with a fitted waist, leg curves outward through the thigh and tapering toward the ankle. The jeans from this collaboration have studding down the legs with cowboy-style detailing. They will also come with a purple Levi’s tab instead of the usual red one. And the jeans’ back pocket is embellished with a white label featuring a design of Bode’s childhood pony.
With this collaboration Bode’s designer, Emily Adams Bode Aujla, turned to her childhood memories of a spotted pony named Checkers.
Checkers, a retired barrel-racer that was a cross between a Shetland pony and an Appaloosa, was the inspiration for Bode’s collaboration with Levi’s – appropriately enough, a barrel jean!
The jeans will be avialable in two colors: a light blue wash, embellished with silver studs and red gemstones from the early 1950s, and a dark wash with copper studding down the side seam.
Both models are produced with heavy14-ounce pre-shrunk selvedge denim and will be available in 30 or 32-inch inseams.
The Levi’s x Bode collaboration jeans will only be avaiable this coming fall, but you can shop for Levi’s barrel jeans right now on their website.
