  1. SUPREME NEW YORK: 14 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SUPREME CLOTHING

    30/10/2021

    SUPREME NEW YORK: 14 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SUPREME CLOTHING

    From it's humble beginnings on Lafayette street in New York City, Supreme has been well respected by skateboarders as a place to hang out in downtown. Over the years the brands has exploded into something almost unexplainable. In this episode we talk about James Jebbia, the start of Supreme, limited edition gear, collabs, lawsuits, and much more. Supreme was started by James Jebbia, who opened up a small skate shop on Lafayette street in New York to sell brands such as Stussy. The shop quickly became a renowned hangout spot, and became the place to be in New York. Now as a billion dollar brand, Supreme has collab'd with any and every celebrity known to the human race, such as Michael Jordan, Neil Young, Lady Gaga, and Kermit the Frog, just to name a few.   On the path to fame, Supreme has braved lawsuits from heavyweights like Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, the NCAA and the NHL. Even they're logo has surrounded by controversy, as a close-copy of the pop-art work of Barbara Krueger. Maybe it's bad karma that Supreme now faces a sea of copy-cats, such as Supreme Italia, who have set up fake-supreme stores all around the world.   Recently, Supreme was bought out by the Carlyle Group for a cool 500 million; a group which has been involved in some pretty shady dealings, and who very well could have ties with the 9/11 tragedy, as many theorists have ogled over. What do you think?  With growth-hungry investors, Supreme is destined on a track of unprecedented growth. The question is, can the skateshop-turned-fashion brand make a go of it, or will they crumble under the pressure?

    Thrasher Magazine: 14 Things You Didn't Know About Thrasher

    The world's longest running skateboard magazine, Thrasher originated as a tool to sell Independent trucks and grew into 'the bible' of skateboard magazines. Thrasher was started by Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson in the early 1980's, as a means of marketing their new and upcoming Independent truck company; meeting in the army, they became instant friends over a love of motorcycles.   Jake Phelps, a rough and tumble kid from SF, started from the bottom, and worked his way up within Thrasher, becoming editor in cheif... without ever having an email set up, or even having a voicemail. Phelps came to embody the magazine and what it stood for, and some even say, skateboarding as a whole. He took it upon himself to discern who was in and out, and was known for banning people from the mag who he didn't like.   Under the guidance of Mike Burnett and Jake, Thrasher grew to become the bible and holy document of skateboarding. Under the magazine grew a variety of renown events and contests, such as the coveted Skater of the Year award, King of the Road, and Hall of Meat. These events are cornerstone within today's skateboarding industry. Watch the episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgD5EGDlyBw
