Founded by James Jebbia in 1994, Supreme first opened its doors as a skate shop on Lafayette Street in New York City.
The brand humbly built a cult following through their non-compromising NY attitude, pop culture referencing designs, and simple branding such as the now iconic Supreme Box Logo. Emphasizing authenticity and quality, Supreme quickly became the epicenter of the downtown skate community and a clubhouse for like-minded creative individuals.
As a core element of the Supreme brand, it was natural for skate decks to become their form of canvas. Over the years, Supreme skateboards have showcased the work of many pre-eminent photographers, visual artists and musicians. Reminiscent of a time capsule for the brand, the boards have become a highly coveted focal point for collectors.
In 2017, the brand reached new heights, with the release of their collaborative effort with luxury fashion house, Louis Vuitton, at Le Palais Royale for the Fall/Winter 2017 Menswear collection.
