Supreme 2007 S/S

[Sook A Look]

backpack is $168

I did a search but nothing useful came up. Does the price of Supreme packs justify the cost? I was considering one but have never actually held one in my hands so I wouldn't know.

Don't bother, the material is straight up Wal-mart Power Rangers/TMNT backpack shitty nylon. Take off the Supreme badging and I would be surprised if you could sell the thing for $20.

this is wrong. They`re not best in the world but they`re well made and wont fall apart on you. You buy supreme for the design imo. they have some nicely shaped packs in some good patterns and materials. if you like how it looks over something from the mall you can buy it and not worry about the bag breaking.

he has a point. where else can i get a bright orange and neon blue backpack that doesnt have cartoon characters on it? no sarcasm intended, i actually like that colorway.

[Raskol]

^^ i concur

edit: with milspex, that is

[mackelface]

I love my Supreme backpack, it's just like my old North Face except an even better shape/design. And I love the color (grey with very small turquoise and neon yellow accents).

Most Supreme backpacks (thinking of the 18th and the treebark one 21st?) are usually made out of a mix of ripstop nylon and i think, although I'm not 100% certain (formerly) Du Pont's Cordura fabric which is also used by Visvim and Gregory amongst many others.

I have a question: What's the shrinkage like on the 07 tee's? How much are people losing in length after their first wash? Much appreciated.

my tee's shrunk about 2 cm, maybe a bit more, on the length.

cheers, i'll have to live with it, the next size up is like 5cms too wide for meh

Yeah that was more the anser I was looking for. I figured that they're bags had a nice and simple design while still being pretty interesting...I just didnt want to pay 168 or more for just the look.

[lilodxd]

any u.s. or euro sites that sell supreme? is preme anti net-selling?

i don't think supreme will ever open an online shop.

[Selegna]

did box cap price go up??

[Ryan]

$36 up from $32 iirc the last time i bought one..

[rhythmandsound]

i think they've actually gone up to $38 now? was able to get ahold of the new tiger camo box caps, really deep, stoked

[prima]

my tiger box cap was 36

[readytoignite]

i'm pretty sure that supreme stockists are not allowed to sell their product online

[corned beef]

36 was LA's price. Any clue why they put out all their older box caps like the tree bark camos, blacks, and olives? I was happy as hell but a bit confused.

[hahnstch]

^ shit didn't move last season and they need to make more money? isn't it as simple as that?

Just get a regular North Face backpack.

[DJ2xTech]

all the prices have gone up...

shirts from $18 to $28

box caps from like $24 to $36

new eras from like $32 to 48 now $52

keeps going up and up!

there's no more NYC sales tax so they raised their prices to get more money!

[wEstSidE]

what are you talking about. there's nyc sales tax.

[DJ2xTech]

what are you talking about. there's nyc sales tax.

there is, but for clothes below $110 there isn't. forgot to make that clear.

[RutanSB]

...when the hell were t's $18

[eastcoastrider27]

That's what I'm saying.

I doubt tees were $18 in '94.

[wEstSidE]

^ shit didn't move last season and they need to make more money? isn't it as simple as that?

that doesn't even make any sense. they couldn't sell them last season so they decided to put them out again but charge people more for a product they're unsure about?

what the hell?

maybe someone is getting greedy. i think it's something else though; it's just not their style to charge too much money. think about it for a second. if supreme wanted they could potentially sell their box tees for $100 each and never worry about money. they also wouldn't have to worry about fucking lines anymore, but they don't do it. i think someone at supreme feels it's either a) unfair, or still wants the kids who are actually involved in skateboarding and other scenes to be able to buy the brand.

[RutanSB]

westside, you have a point.. After all, when the first batch of the S/S line initially dropped they picked out people in the line to enter and shop.

[DEPHT]

stumbled across a dude on nikesb.org that's selling supreme heat on the cheap.

I picked up the dipset tee, but he's got the new camo new era's, world famous new era's, and older '03 tees for 30 bucks shipped a pop.

goddamn, just saw the new non-half cab vans, the chukkas look fucking ridid. blue and red and white and purple? beautiful i need them

[wEstSidE]

You're right, but why the fuck do people always talk [type] like they know the philosophies / thinking of the stores owners and employees?

You're talking about the 'kids' and stuff like you know shit.

i don't know their philosophy and couldn't care less. i'm basing my analysis on their actions and shared ideas alone. that's some formalist shit for you. honestly i shouldn't reply to your post at all but i have nothing better to do. btw, i don't think i would even agree with the owners/employees of the store on most thing; they're probably all urban idiots, but whatever.

When the first Supreme store opened in 1994, James Jebbia, its founder, didn’t really know, he says, much about the skateboarding crowd but was intrigued by its rebelliousness and creativity. He worked hard, then and now, to be true to that scene, right down to hiring local skaters to work in the store. “A lot of the kids from downtown New York are very, very particular,” he says. This was his target: the tough, skeptical audience that wanted, say, clothes you could get only if you were in the know. These kids were more like a couture consumer than a mass one. And thus he is hardly alarmed to see his brand being mentioned in mainstream glossy fashion magazines. In fact, Jebbia considers Supreme a lifestyle brand along the lines of the French clothier A.P.C. — and, actually, Marc Jacobs.

its for the children! (of the future)
