Supreme Drops New Tyler, the Creator Video and Hints at Collaboration
Supreme fans, get ready to freak out – the streetwear giant has just released a new video featuring none other than Tyler, the Creator. And if that wasn’t enough to get you hyped, the brand also dropped some major hints about a potential collaboration with the rapper on Instagram.
In the video, Tyler can be seen rocking the iconic green box logo T-shirt, confirming the rumors that have been circulating since the wheatpastings appeared earlier this week. But this collab is more than just a fashion statement for Tyler – it’s a full circle moment for the artist who has been a fan of Supreme since he was just 16 years old.
“The first thing I got was the peach and mint t-shirt,” Tyler reminisces about his first Supreme purchase from the Spring/Summer 2009 range. “Supreme was like our Louis Vuitton. That was our top-of-the-line sh*t. Especially knowing everyone didn’t have it… Going to school and having that one piece that no one else in the school or school district had made it even more special.”
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Supreme also shared high-resolution photos of Tyler in the green box logo tee, shot by photographer Luis Perez. And if you’re a fan of Tyler’s previous collab with Louis Vuitton, you’ll recognize Perez as the same photographer who shot the campaign for that collection.
While it’s still unclear what exactly this collaboration will entail, one thing is for sure – it’s long overdue. Tyler has been a major influence in popularizing Supreme, sporting their iconic pieces at Coachella, the Grammys, and even on the red carpet. And with his track record of collaborations, it’s safe to say that this collab will be nothing short of epic.
So stay tuned, Supreme fans. We’ll be keeping a close eye on any updates as they emerge. And in the meantime, check out the full video above to hear Tyler’s thoughts on his long-lasting ties to the brand.
