Supreme x Vans Old Skool

Supreme and Vans seems to have a never-ending stream of footwear releases, to the point that it just seems to be part of the seasonal release. Well this Fall they finally get away from the primary colors and checker patterns, and turn to some smooth and rich looking solid suedes and grain leathers...







That burgundy speaks to me. The entire collection is really well done though, and brings a really sophisticated look to the Old Skool model. There also is a matching set of Half Cabs coming in the same color way, which you can peep here.


Both the Old Skools and Half Cabs will be releasing in NYC and online on September 16th, and then in Japan on the 18th.

Published by Rizzoli, who has also published books for Bape and Kaws, the book includes an introduction by Glenn O'Brien, an essay by Aaron Bondaroff and an interview between Kaws and James Jebbia. Like the Bape book, it will chronicle the amazing collaborations from Supreme, like those with Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Damien Hirst, Public Enemy and Lou Reed, and MANY others. The book also includes a product index from Supreme's archive.

The 304 page hardcover book will be available as a special edition (w/ bonus content and box logo slide cover) IN STORE ONLY on April 20th (US, Japan, Online). A general release edition will be available April 27th at Amazon.com and select book stores.


Supreme is one of the few brands past Bape that I would LOVE to see a book from. The history of work and collaborations is just unprecedented. To get you hyped for the book, take a look at a 10 year history of Supreme Decks, as well as this amazing Supreme sticker collection.

Supreme s/s 2010 Collection

Supreme has released their preview of the complete Spring/ Summer 2010 collection this morning. The collection is huge as always, but here is just a preview of some stand out pieces...















Overall, I mean it's another clean and safe remixed collection from Supreme. Everything looks pretty good, the colors and patterns work well, and for some reason that ugly greenish-brown leopard print is growing on me fast (in the jacket only). And how awesome are the nunchucks?? (there's a short but sweet video of them in action here)

As I said, this is just a little sample of personal favorites, but you can preview the entire line here.

The collection will be available March 4th at our NY/LA stores and March 6th in Japan.

Time to step up your house game people! '09 is about rugs, you didn't know!?

Supreme returns with their (annual?) magazine for the Fall/ Winter '09 with RZA as the cover man and Rosa Acosta as the basically naked model "wearing" Supreme...

The RZA is one of my favorite people ever PLUS I'm interested to see the direction that the interview with Puff goes since he's been seen wearing Supreme lately.

As a leader Coltrane was astonishingly prolific and recorded almost fifty albums. He also co-collaborated on, and strongly influenced, many other recordings with the legends of his time including Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. As his life and career progressed, Coltrane's music took on an increasingly spiritual dimension, which became integral to his sound. Coltrane has influenced innumerable musicians, and remains one of the most significant tenor saxophonists in Jazz history."
