Apple Bottoms is a fashion and lifestyle brand for women launched in 2003 by rap artist Nelly, Yomi Martin and Ian Kelly. The brand was initially a denim label, but has since expanded to include other women's and girl's clothing, perfume and accessories.
The term "Apple Bottoms Jeans" refers to a woman whose curvaceous figure is elegantly revealed by her tight-fitting jeans, resembling the shape of an apple. The term is referenced in various rap or hiphop songs, including Twista's Overnight Celebrity, MC Jin's 36-24-36 (Applebottom Jeans), DaCav5's Tetris, and Flo Rida's Low. The term is also used in the songs "Tip Drill" and "Paradise" by Nelly, in the Eminem single Shake That, and "Lee Majors Come Again" by the Beastie Boys. Canadian Desi producer DJ Sanj has a song of that title on the 2010 album American Desi.
In 2004, Oprah appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show wearing a pair of Apple Bottoms jeans and included them in her annual "Oprah's Favorite Things" list.
