Supreme Spring/Summer 2018 Drop 11

This week’s Supreme drop focuses on the boldly printed Lee Quiñones pieces. The legendary Peurto Rican graffiti artist rose to fame in the ’70s and ’80s from the NYC street art movement (with the likes of Fab 5 Freddy, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring) and garnered both critical and mainstream acclaim when he became the first to paint an entire NYC subway train in 1976.

The Lee Quiñones x Supreme collab pieces include all-over Lion’s Den print denim trucker jacket and pants, The Yard zip-up hoodie, squirrel graphic print hoodie, graphic long-sleeve tees and printed skate decks. Supreme’s art-infused release is balanced out with the very basic but inevitably very hype two-piece jar set from the accessories category.
