Cost for Supreme T-Shirts

“Long before the term ‘Street Art’ was relevant and long before young people realized that there was another way to promote their ‘brand’ and their name, beyond the traditional means of writing their names on walls with Spray and Ink, Cost, along with his partner Revs changed the game.

A Graffiti writer schooled in the techniques of bombing, Cost saw an opening to use the public space in a new way. In his campaign of simple white 8 1/2² X 11″ paper postering on the backs of Walk / Don’t Walk traffic signs, he took the idea of guerilla bombing and combined it with the blatant mass appeal of advertising. The language had changed from the insider hieroglyphics of graffiti to the simple text of cold type that anyone -young and old, black and white, rich and poor, could read. As a result the city paid attention. Unlike traditional graffiti tags that became aesthetic background noise, these messages – “Cost Fucked Madonna”, “Cost Was Here” -were dead simple, and blanketed the city in a way that no one could ignore.

Though many young Street Artists take the credit for the novelty of what they do- the bad boy persona of breaking the law, mixed with the brilliant creativeness and inventiveness of a marketing agency- they seem to have forgotten rule number one in Graffiti, and in Street art – originality is King. Cost did it first.”

Anyone know when the Sale usually starts?

I believe around after Christmas, or during the first week of January.

Thanks Ponr thats what i figured. I swore last year it came right after the Wtaps collab which from memory was mid DEC...

Yeah, I wonder if they're gonna do the warehouse sale too. Last time, they pulled out backstock Vans. That's what I think they do with stuff that doesn't sell. I noticed the gumsole Vans are not on the shelves anymore, but they are on the site. Either they put it away, or they just allocate it to online only.

The warehouse sale is really hard to come by especially for Supreme. My guess is 3-4 years.
Yes, they put out a bunch of Vans in the warehouse sale.

Regretting not picking the Neckface collabs and W)Taps Greaserz.

last warehouse sale i went to i got ds blue supreme hi's lol it was random as hell

i want that hoodie with the sleeve print.

not bad.........going to see if i can cop one or two of these.

Fuck yea! That's the Thrasher hoodie!

^You know what would be great, if Supreme decided to take into consideration the price point of the labels that they are working with. Like the fact that you can buy a Thrasher zip up hoodie for $40 bucks, but you put Supreme on each arm and it's going to be $120 a pop. I know this converstation is as old as I can remember, it would just be nice if they gave back just a little and said - you know what, this is printed on a Champion Jacket that cost us 30 Bucks - let's do our thing and charge $50. That might keep me coming back for more.

Some of this new gear is sick though.

^^^ Word!
