Supreme proclaims that in April of 1994 a home and foundation for city skate culture was founded. Morphing into a symbol of downtown life over more than two decades, music enthusiasts interested in rebellious lyrics, looking fresh and blasting flagrant hip hop and punk have made Supreme a staple of cool.
Posted up in the downtown area of the concrete jungle, residents of the island can convert into predators with a quick change of garments making others ogle and using the rebellious flair of skate culture. Whether its the coveted adidas x Raf Simons Ozweego 2s or the lauded “Bling” box logo hoodie, stunting is done often in the grey and drab landscape with migrants flocking from far and wide flexing their grasp of streetwear subculture. Keep Flexing is the title of Rich the Kid’s latest mixtape and the Source allowed a host of individuals to do just that. Take a look at Flex Files where this time we highlight a few Supreme garments from the last few seasons along with a multitude of Unif and Topshop clothing plus a duo of Helmut Lang outerwear pieces.
