Supreme Japan Benefit T-Shirt Release Recap
April 11, 2011 ⋅ Events ⋅ by Staff ⋅ 416 Views

As we first previewed to you here, Supreme has designed a T-shirt exclusively for the Japanese relief effort. The shirts feature Supreme’s iconic box logo scheme with a rising sun backdrop and a special message on the back that reads, “Japan Earthquake Relief, March 2011, United We Stand.” Eager to get their hands on the release, which hit stores in Japan on April 9, shoppers waited patiently in the rain to purchase the T-shirts and contribute to a good cause, as 100% of the proceeds are being donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society.

    Sure you have kiddo.

    “Circumstances” inferred in my post are not whether you have gone to Tokyo or think the kids there are trendy, you fucking simpleton. The circumstances surrounding the reason behind making the T-Shirt are whats important(durrrrrr its the fucking Earthquake genius).

    I am not sure what is more pathetic, that I had to outline what I meant by circumstances, or that you are choosing a charity effort to fucking nitpick about idiotic bullshit spawned by your own naivete.

    Now please, go back to weeping over Supreme selling out, your tears may be of some aid to cooling the reactors at Fukushima.

    How the fuck would you know if they skate or not from a simple picture of a line up, and beyond that,why the hell would that matter given the circumstances.

    If you are just cluing into the fact that most “skate” companies that for the most produce clothing are actually “lifestyle” companies to most of the people that actually buy their clothes than you may be borderline retarded.

    Hypebeast is not a “skate” website at all, did you not fucking notice or do skaters usually wear fucking Maison Margiela and Chanel?

    asian people are so cool and trendy.
    I love how every single person photographed in theses pictures doesn’t seem to skate or care for it.
    Supreme has become something of a lifestyle brand and has lost its skate clientele n support.

    lets not tell supreme how to run business. they manage to have all the tshirts sold out, which is good , no? not every brand can do that.

    and if i tell u by donating $100 is not enough, would you give up 50% of what you have in your bank account, or give up all to japan?

    and, u know, supreme box logo can protect you from nuclear radiation, but only works when its limited.

    @Zachary Jeckering. With all thats going on over there do you honestly think that whether or not Supreme releases a relief shirt is high on the Japanese peoples list? I’m sure the dude in the zebra print jacket is there only because of relief efforts, and not because its a limited release Supreme shirt.

    If Supreme wanted to really help, they wouldn’t let the shirts sell out.

    Nah, just imagine how pissed they would have been if Supreme didn’t release this to them too. Plus it’s just another option to support their country and it sure looks like they took the opportunity to do so.

    Why? Japanese people can’t support Japan? I guess you didn’t do anything to support New Orleans after Katrina…

    But if you’re saying they should release it to a wider audience, you’re definitely right. There’s no sense in these benefit items being limited.
