Supreme 2008 Fall/Winter Collection Pt. 2
by L.A. Ruano, October 22, 2008
After Supremes massive drop last month we thought we’d seen it all, yet the New York bred label once again comes through with their second delivery of this years fall/winter goods. Keeping everything minimally branded, the lineup triumphs with a classic yet distinguishable appeal. Amongst the collection we see a strong use of winter materials including wool pea coats, flannel long sleeves, knits, hoodies and headwear to keep your brain from freezing. Part 2 is set to release sometime soon, so stay tuned for further news in the coming days.
Kinda funny that you guys mention the Bape NY store. The employees at Bapex Aoyama, various other Bape JP locations, and especially the guy who helped me at Bape LA were all very courteous, helpful, and went above and beyond what I expected of even somebody at Nordstrom or Neiman.
Looks like another solid run for supreme, its nice to see some good quality basic designs for a change.
i’ve gotten some ill ass jackets there. sure they’re super spendy, but i’m still rocking them cause they’re some serious quality. whoever designs does a dope job. t’s are t’s and sweats are sweats. if you buy a logo, you’re wack anyway. as far as employees, in ny-somedays they’re cool, somedays not so cool. i can relate. humans have moods. they make no $. i don’t give a f*** about the vibe because the product is dope and has nothing to do with the yake off that works the counter. huf on the other hand, they gots nothing and they’re wack. fairfax is lame anyway, and bape is just wack all around.
f*** it then, if you hate it dont go their simple! Customer service is crucial in any type of business regardless of which market your in, and how the economy is! i haven’t had the chance to step foot in a supreme store, but based upon the comments, im glad
a few of these items are already on the online shop
I was in NY last weekend and the staff there were super friendly to me and super helpfull. The dude went out the back at least 4 times to grab various items for me and stuff. Maybe i just caught them on a good day-but every time i have been in there they have been pretty cool. Now if we are talking about the idiots who work in Bape…
“cpt”, I have yet to see anyone post that they can not afford anything that is listed here.
damn people complain a lot these days if you cant afford these stuff or dont want to waste your money on it go to walmart and stop b@$#ing so much
I agree, the employees at both US locations are douche bags. They don’t aknowledge you when you pass them, reluctant to grab sizes from the back, refuse to thank anyone for their purchases. The company markets their brand better than anyone else in the industry, but they set me up for disapointment with their snobby attitude. These guys need to shape up their attitudes if care to attract those that value service.
I’ve been to LA and NY locations multiple times and the employees definitely act holier than thou. Maybe they are better than me though, I’m sure they don’t pay full price for the shit like I have. Some of it is dope for sure but the quality of the sweatshirt is really bad. Poor fits and materials.
u can get those flannels at uniqlo for $20 each. i got all 3 colors this season and they look IDENTICAL.
The sweater is copped for sure.
And with regards to the design comment: Yes they have designers, and I’m pretty sure all they want to do is have supreme make versions of things they like to their own specifications of fit and quality.
I mean lots of people will probably go apesh*t for this drop, but i’m beginning to think at the start of next year the lines are only going to get shorter and shorter. Nothing particularly interesting here. An extremely cheap rip off of the original 3M “Thinsulate” logo… I agree with noiseisgolden, this stuff does look like they looked through like a AAA catalog and just stamped their sh*t on. The beginning of the end my friends.
@ noiseisgolden, DC, mbear, and anyone else who don’t got a clue.
Supreme is a skate brand, regardless of the price of their goods, they are still a skate brand. You talk about design, but what exactly are you looking for? Skaters generally wear what supreme put out, Hoodies, Jeans etc. It is also clear that you do not have a good grasp of business, which is to make money. Supreme have overheads like, Staff, Rent, Insurances, Shipping Fees.. and the list goes on… Is it good business sense to have no profit margin? And what is happening to the economy is a cycle, which will past eventually. The customer service point.. What are you looking for a department store experience so something? if you don’t like what you are getting, shop somewhere else. Simple.
I have no beef witih Supreme, but to the point of the previous few posts… ANY store that feels that they’re too “hard” to say “how’s it going”? and/or offer customer service in their stores/online shops… those times are waaaaay over…should have never been, period. This has been the steez of many “streetwear/skate” shops for a while and I’ve never understood it. No, nobody wants a shop employee hanging all over them, but acting like the customer is bothering you by asking questions or (even worse) buying something… mine as well close your doors in this economy, because the cash ain’t flying around like it used to. The customer is king… like it or not.
^^^^^ what he said.
^^feel u majorly on that cuzzo^^ i go 2 the LA location and they act like straight bit**es in ther i refuse 2 spend money there at all… its nothin 2 spend the money but they got this im better then vibe goin on in there…ill fade any1 of there 120 lb. employees.
Im really beginning to think that someone at Supreme shops through a manufactures catalog and just picks the items they want to sew their red block tag on. it doesnt really appear that they put much thought into the design. Do they have a design team? PLUS, if a company wants to charge these crazy high prices in this crappy economy we are then they better step up their customer service. Ive tried contacting Supreme with certain questions and I keep getting the tanks for your qwuestions but were to busy to help you reply. What person would drop $300.00 on a backpack for example if they cant even see the inside of the damn thing? Just Venting, PEACE
Hoodies? Hoodies? We don need no stinking Hoodies!
Sweaters, Skullys, and Flannels FTW
if anyone thinks that any of these hoodies are worth their 100+ price tags based on quality they should be shot
Sweater = Crack
cool shit like it now all i need is the wallets and im all set lotent.blogspot.com
