Supreme

Mostly Skateboarding had a good episode on the day that the motion to dismiss became public and had a lawyer weigh on it too which is a good listen. There’s a link to the contract in here too:

If anyone’s catching up on it, they covered the initial lawsuit with the same lawyer:

I hear he’s doing ok. I think staying off the social media is doing him the world of good.

Some good words there, I never really gave it much thought before but the Supreme brick is much like Duchamp’s urinal, in that owning one doesn’t show people that you appreciate art aesthetically in the traditional sense, it’s more to say hey everyone, check me out, I command a great understanding of the commercial art world. It’s a piss-take of the world that made it come to be.
It’s the check-me-outness that I don’t like about Supreme, but it’s also what defines it and makes it clever. If you buy a painting and hang it on the wall, it’s probably because you like how it looks, but if you buy a urinal and display it then it’s to show others that you know a lot about art and you have a lot of disposable income. Similarly if you wear Supreme stuff it’s not about how you look (obvs, because it’s all heinous) but it’s about showing people that you are at the top of the streetwear game and you have wads of cash.

TL:DR - don’t bother, I’m waffling

They always do some weird joke item. I “copped” a Supreme Crowbar once. Mrs hated it on the shelf so made me sell it. More than doubled in value during that time!

Edit: Crowbar now selling for over £200 resale - argh!

There’s lots of nice Supreme stuff. There’s lots of really OTT tacky stuff. Same goes for any brand/company out there.

Too right! who displays a crowbar because it’s red with a shop name on it? Who gives a fuck if it’s worth a small fortune.

Turkish Barbers love all that shit!

Could use the brick as a door stop or paperweight

You could also use a Duchamp urinal for the same purpose, I suppose

Supreme makes human beings seem dumber than they already are which could be considered performance art I suppose but I’ll grab my coat and go for a piss.
