"The clothes that skate brands were taking out at the time was shit. Many of their consumers were young. But where people imagine skaters in kids of 12, 13 or 14 years, in New York, It was rather the 18-24-year-old Hardcore kid, and he didn't wear these clothes. Because it didn't do well, and the quality was bad, when they wanted to appear and picking up girls "James Jabbia

Thus he will offer very high quality madea in Canada hoodies sporting a design minimalist and a name ringing as a feeling of revolt for skaters of 90s. Once this federated community has only been to offer limited pieces. And the founder of Supreme understood it well and will work around its iconic logo, the Box Logo.
