The owner isnt even a skater. Hes just some streetwear guy that saw that skateboarding was a thing and made it happen. If he did what he did now instead of 93 people would be like, "fuck that guy." so whatever. all the brand worship seems really silly to me. Especially since this clip is the first legit clip ive seen out of supreme in years. Its funny though because mere association with supreme makes certain riders seem more legit even though the brand is anything but.
False. Supreme has always been skater owned and operated. Geo Moya started that shit with other OG's back in 94.
Supreme NYC has always been in its same location. That area used to be much different. If you know anything about
New York in the 90's you can relate to that. Also, it's not Supreme that changed, it's the people that moved into those
areas that changed. The hipsters, punks, street wear kids, kooks, homosexuals, models, tourists and fuckin whoevever.
It's the new crowd that is coming in because New York has changed completely. The store never changed. Supreme in the 90's WAS the one of the only joint to get the newest Zoo deck or what has you. Now days there one of the only store in NYC that
carries underground brands like Palace, Iron Claw, Torro, Hopps, Traffic, etc...Charles Lamb who has been in the NYC skate scene
still works there almost every day. Their board and everything skate related is regular priced it's just the Supreme clothing line that is expensive which is only made in the area. (Autumn shut down, DQM changed is NOT legit anymore because Dave had court issues and actually started a new shop called Dave's Wear House. KCDC bring in way to many surfers and changed there location to another part of Hipsterburg under a surf shop actually. Homage is legit but is a hike if you are in Manhattan due to it's deep location in Brooklyn. ).. Supreme was also one of the only shops that could hook up dudes like Andre Page, Danny Supa, Ryan Hickey, Harold Hunter, Jeff Pang, Keenan Milton, Jason Dill, Anthony Correa, Kieth Hufnagel, Mike and QuimCardona, Chris and Jones Keefe, Peter Bici, Spencer Fujimoto, Alex Corporan, Loki, Hamilton Harris, Vinnie Ponte, Sean Kelling, ,Rodney Torres, Billy Waldman and many other. Supreme always showed mad love. Nobody would be hating on them if they didn't have so much money. That also goes backto the location. Broadway and Lafayette are some of the busiest streets in NY these days, there is mad foot traffic around there and a diverse variety of it. Do you really think back in 1994 they thought they would blow up like this? forget about it! It's like a blessing to them. Just thought Id put that out there.
