Regardless of the affixed Supreme tag to this collaboration effort, no doubt the sheer simplicity on well-liked mid-cut models like the Chukka and Half-Cab will make for yet another hyped up release.

Online sales will commence (Domestic USA shipping only) on May 23rd.

Look for it to release in December 2008 with a price tag of $180 US.
