Here’s an article on Supreme and the whole streetwear industry by Rob Walker for the New York Times. “…in the last few years, as some sneaker shops have come to resemble highfalutin art galleries, it has been a little less clear who is borrowing what from whom. Consider, for example, Supreme. It’s a thoroughly downtown apparel brand with a shop on Lafayette Street in Manhattan and is associated with the culture of skateboards. On the other hand, the devotion and the pickiness – or, if you prefer, the snobbery – of the Supreme consumer compares with that of the high-end fashion consumer.” Read the whole article here.
