Thoughts On The Supreme Fall/Winter Drop

By now, you’ve probably heard about Supreme‘s Fall/Winter 2014 drop. You’ve maybe even seen the photo galleries of the apparel, accessories, and headwear over on Hypebeast.

In the fast-moving world of streetwear, it’s already somewhat old news even though the picture galleries just arrived a few days ago. So why did I wait to write my thoughts on it, you ask? It’s pretty simple: I needed a little time to fully digest how dope the collection is.

When that shoe popped off the way it did and created such a huge response, Nike wisely jumped all over it and started pumping out kicks with a similar color scheme left and right. The hype was very real for a while, but as hype does, it began to die down. When the “South Beach” Lebron 11 dropped this year, there was little to no reaction from the sneaker community, whom for the most part seemed to be tired of the color scheme. read more
