Fans are (probably) already lining up for Supreme’s forthcoming collection

Reworking the classics isn't always the same-old

Posted by

If you missed the SS15 Supreme drop, featuring the iconic American astronaut Michael L Gernhardt Astronaut print, you’re in for another chance… kind of. Like every limited Supreme drop, the last round of merch featuring this print sold out within minutes. The brand teased fans with a peek into their AW16 collection via Instagram overnight, which shows the archived image reworked into a graphic on a relaxed jacket, and the fans are already (but unsurprisingly) frothing over it.

New Fall/Winter 2016 collection coming soon.

The hype comes down to Supreme knowing its pull in the market. Or we all wouldn’t be drooling. With only 10 stores worldwide, and regular limited drops every Thursday at the strict time of 11am (US time) the presence of each item remains significant and intense. By mashing up old works, Supreme has been able to draw us back into the hype of previous memorable designs, while staying true to their policy of never re-releasing past-season pieces.

In the meantime, you can go through our gallery of the iconic Michael L Gernhardt Astronaut references while you wait for more news on this hotly anticipated drop.
