The fact Supreme is 50% owned by the Carlyle Group, a massive private equity firm, is kind of a joke no? It's the total antithesis of what street/skate culture

The fact Supreme is 50% owned by the Carlyle Group, a massive private equity firm, is kind of a joke no? It's the total antithesis of what street/skate culture stands for.
- neom 8y agoCertainly Supreme is not a small company and their standard lines have huge huge distribution and are not particularly unique. The OP was referencing the lines outside of the Supreme store on Lafayette, this is the supreme store regardless of the fact that there are many supreme stores, the original supreme store in Manhattan releases limited one time short run series of Supreme only available at this store. This is pretty much the standard streetwear MO, regardless of how small or large, even folks like ader error who I believe are held by the founders yet have global distribution still drop original and limited in this manner, if I want one of their drops I have to pay someone in Korea to line for me or wait for it to arrive on the secondary market for some insane markup.
