Should of went for the dunks instead of stupid f***ing concert tickets

But then again everybody be wearing Jesus pieces with him nailed to the cross so wtf do I know

Dam

Thought the book would be fire since it has a Claudia Rankine cosign

It’s a good book

thats just like a religious symbol tho

True but i feel like he felt strongly about this and even saying oh we don't think it'll sell or we don't think people will want to wear it would probably have the same result ie him resigning.

i guess in a way it comes down to these items as commercial products vs art pieces vs somewhere in between.

it most definitely is not

Chill

Clearly it wasn’t designed for white people to wear- Supreme is a funny brand to drop something like this because a good chunk of their consumers are in white boys obsessed with black culture, but I don’t think its Tremaines fault that potential (white) consumers would be uncomfortable with it or wouldn’t be able to understand that it’s not for them to wear.

To go over his head and cancel it without his input as creative director is insane, I think they were naive to hire him if they didn’t think he’d speak on the black experience here in America especially considering his resume (as well as collabing with Jafa to an extent).

Nah I know. But when you break it down, I’ve seen people mention how it can be viewed as wild

No I absolutely would not be cool with it regardless of context. I can criticize both, I'm just focusing on the inconsistency on Supreme's part at this moment.

Exactly. Should've done this collab with Denim Tears instead. Supreme dont wanna sit on hundreds of thousands of these shirts in their warehouse along with the costs and public backlash that come with that.

Its crazy he left this role over something so relatively small that could've been legacy defining for him.

Right?!

nah putting this stuff on a shirt from a brand w a legacy hypebeast following would be insane. if this was like denim tears or little africa fair enough, but that's just tone deaf given who is going to be buying it

They definitely inconsistent but unfortunately it boils down to “what will sell, and what won’t”….they don’t care about delivering Tremaines vision if it’s not gonna be sold out items

I’m not even gonna lie….

I didn’t even know Tremaine was at Supreme until this news came out.

So if they did go through with these tees I would’ve been looking at Supreme all crazy lmao as alotta people would

i feel like that is/was the point tho

It’d be controversial but I think that juxtaposition is part of the statement, also if non black people are so tone deaf that they would end up wearing it that’s not really on Tremaine that they missed the point

i know that's the point but he shouldn't be surprised other people were against it, no less black people. it's not like people were against it because they were being racist, which is what he was suggesting.

This Little Africa? Never heard of em before

tremendez

yeah that's them, they're pretty lowkey but have had some interesting collaborations. they had some cool pieces on Dover Street Market awhile ago.

🧍🏻‍♂️

he sounds like a b**** nigga

tries to be the black super hero when he doesn’t have the resume to be saying and doing bold ass s***

your flower pattern 300$ levi’s don’t give you the ability to change billion dollar institutions

he went at ye who actually does have the resume so he could fail on his own

purely a money and branding play, but actual fashion heads know bro cashed out on all of this bs
