The fandom is essentially a subculture in itself.
However, by Supreme standards, these are all middling brand obsessions-their followers the fair-weather fans to Supreme's ultras: the kids who wait in line, the adult men who'll pay silly money for vintage Supreme-branded incense sticks. Ralph Lauren had its " Lo-Lifes," a group of guys from Brooklyn who spent the early 90s stealing as much Polo as they could. No other clothing brands command this kind of devotion. A couple of weeks after my visit, the London shop manager tells Supreme's British disciples that if they're planning a pilgrimage they'll need to start lining up on Thursday morning-instead of Wednesday night-because the weekly influx of rough sleepers in $300 trainers is rankling the local government. Every time Supreme releases chunks of new stuff at its ten stores across Europe, America, and Japan-which is every Thursday from the start of each collection-hundreds of people skip school or work to get first dibs. He's happy to pay for a flight and a hotel-and then wait in line for six hours-in the hope he'll find anything in his size, even if it's just a pair of boxer shorts. Werner knows he isn't getting the Morrissey shirt it'll have sold out long before he makes it inside, along with all the other stuff he actually wants. The photo he didn't want Supreme to use, he said, because they once collaborated with a burger chain-and also just because he didn't like the face he was pulling. The majority of people waiting in line are heading straight for the shirt featuring a photo of gloomy vegetarian Morrissey. Team testing suggests that Flight decks will last several times as long as a 7-ply, making them a great value as well as a superior performing skateboard.Ĭonstruction: Epoxy infused, high strength fiberglass/Maple.In about an hour, the doors to Supreme's London store will be opened, and everyone here-tired Nick patient Werner teenagers from Cardiff, Newcastle, and Canterbury the guy wearing a Supreme sleeping bag like a Snuggie-will get their chance to walk inside, past the sculpture of a smiley white ghost, and flick through the first batch of caps, coats, hoodies, and T-shirts released this season. Ollies higher because of greater rebound and snap.Longer lasting - The epoxy infused, fiber reinforced structure of the Flight deck is extremely resistant to breaking, and this structure gives Flight decks "everlasting pop" that doesn't fade as your Flight deck slowly wears.Stronger - more than twice as strong in our tail break tests.He’s not conforming nor is he looking for acceptance from conforming, and with that he’s accepting the grief and exclusion that comes with being a true outsider. What Andy is doing is living the creed of what a skateboarder is supposed to be. He doesn’t fit in because he’s not following it’s false mandates. And then once in a while a skater like Andy comes along who doesn’t fit into this fanatical mold, a skater who is such an outsider himself that he doesn’t even fit into skateboarding. From Stacy- “There are so many within the skateboarding world who look at skating as a religion which must be practiced to exacting and specific standards you must conform and ride this type of terrain, you must conform and do these types of tricks, you must not mix this style with that style, you must look this way or else etc.
