While we enjoy the occasional rip on Harmony Korine and Supreme, these Korine Supreme skate decks make a hell of a lot more sense than those by art star predecessors Longo, Baldessari, Murakami, Koons and Hirst. Read more »
Successful artist Damien Hirst is reselling the custom skate decks he previously sold through Supreme in 2009 — same crap, more money. You can buy direct from his store Other Criteria, where you can also purchase “arty” pill-shaped cufflinks and butterfly print lawn furniture. Read more »
You may recall the still photo showing the aftermath of KIDULT’s paint-filled fire extinguisher attack on Supreme’s NYC storefront work and now here’s video of the elusive Frenchman in action. It warms the heart, no?
‘Supreme’ Vandalism
Someone armed with a paint-filled fire extinguisher and a sense of righteousness indignation blasted the word “KID” on the front of Supreme’s Soho store.

Photorealist graphite wizard Robert Longo is the latest artist to jump in on Supreme’s skatedeck series since Baldessari, Murakami, Koons ‘n’ Hirst.

Korean toymaker Coolrain created this quartet of streetwear dolls clad in Huf, Alife, Supreme, The Hundreds and Nike Dunks all around. Read more »
Notorious vandal JA took a minute to reflect on his bombing career, covering New York, Saber’s LA River piece and locales far beyond since the 80s. In a recent interview with VIRUS for cult skateboard brand Supreme, the infamous graffiti writer recounts the upside of getting his head smashed in by “crooked NYPD cops.” Read more »
Terry Richardson’s ‘F*ck ‘Em’ Photoshoot
Pervy photographer Terry Richardson shot a spread for the latest issue of Supreme’s in-store magazine and not surprisingly, it’s very revealing. Following his photographs of Kermit the Frog, Lou Reed and countless fanboy models for the streetwear brand, Richardson shot Rosa Acostas posing over a “Fuck Em!” carpet with little more than a few carefully branded accessories between her and the camera. |Hypebeast|
