SUPREME Supreme is a series of skate shops that doubles as a clothing line, first established via their Lafayette location in Manhattan in 1994. Supreme is known for its sought after collaborations with the likes of Vans and Nike, the latter of which has resulted in some of the most coveted sneakers of all time under the Nike SB imprint, most famously the Nike SB Dunk Low ‘Supreme’ and Nike SB Dunk High ‘Supreme’.

Sure they’re not plastered with elephant print or stars or what have you, but that definitely doesn’t mean you’ll be able to sleep on the upcoming Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 Low Premium that’s on tap for Holiday 2012. The pair shown goes the minimalist route, opting for an impeccably clean gum bottom/white wall sole kit with a tough looking canvas construction up top. Of course the bits of branding that we all know and love are there, with box logos sprinkled here and there to signify the partnership. Click through with us to check out the full shots of the first ever non-SB project between Supreme and Nike and keep it locked on Sneaker News for more info and a look at the other two colorways set to drop in this upcoming pack. Big thanks to #vietnamesepower for the photos!

It turns out Supreme has been even busier than we thought as far as current collabs go, their pending Nike Air Force 1 release being joined by this, a new set of Vans releases including four pairs of the Vans Chukka and four more of the Vans Old Skool. Each sneaker features a similar suede upper with some metallic touches along the side swipe and back tabs, a theme that almost looks like a reprisal of their approach with the Bruin a few years back. Hit the jump for a full look at the Supreme x Vans ‘Metallic Pack’ and keep in mind that the collection will drop at the NY, LA, London, and online shops on September 13th and the London spot on the 15th.

Whenever word of a new collabo between NYC institution Supreme and Nike comes up, it usually goes without saying that it will fall under the Nike SB category, the shop being one of the most important purveyors of skate culture within the streetwear and sneaker scenes. Apparently that precedent is set to be shaken up this holiday season, with images arriving that promise that the Nike Air Force 1 XXX celebration will end the year in style. That’s right, a Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 Low is in the works, with these first photos showing off a pretty subdued look in contrast with the type of prints we’ve seen from the Supreme team in years past. Click through for another teaser and check back with Sneaker News tomorrow for a full look at the Supreme x Nike Air Force 1 release. Thanks to Luyen for the photos!

Clarks Originals were letting their legendary moc-toed chukka breathe a bit around the turn of the decade while the Desert Boot dominated so thoroughly that just about ever sneaker brand copied its legendary lines. Just like Converse Chuck Taylors, Nike Air Force 1s or any irreplaceable staple, the Clarks Originals Wallabee is bound to have its ups and downs, and by the looks of this new preview, it appears we’re on the leading edge of an upward surge. The Clarks for Supreme ‘Cognac’ Wallabee brings this timeless smart casual style back into the spotlight with a Red Box logo on the insole of a croc-embossed golden brown nubuck build. You know they’re going to sell out super fast, just not when, so stick with Sneaker News for updates and check out more photos below in the meantime.

NIKE COLLABORATIONS WEEK
Finishing off this week’s Classics Revisited focus on big-ticket collaborations is one between Nike Skateboarding and Supreme, dating back to 2004. While that combination of partners and time should equate to an instant classic, this Supreme x Nike SB collaboration is easily the most understated and perhaps under-appreciated of the Supreme x Nike catalog. At the focus is the now defunct Nike SB model known as the the Delta Force 3/4, derived from the mid-80′s basketball shoe; it was produced in three mono-chromatic colorways with some minute details that would go easily overlooked, like the workboot-inspired padded ankle collar, reflective tongue, gum outsoles, and off-colored lace eyelet. Strangely enough, all three releases of the Delta Forces can probably be purchased for under or close to the retail price, which is unheard of considering the spike in value of anything Supreme-tagged. All three are right below for review, so let us know if you have any of the three in your stash or if you can honestly admit that these were never on your radar.

NIKE BLAZER WEEK
Classics Revisited continues with an all-new model to give heavy praise to, and how can we go the ‘classic’ route without paying homage to one of the oldest and most revered models in Nike history? The Nike Blazer originally released in 1972 as one of the first basketball sneakers bearing the Swoosh logo, and in nearly four decades of existence, the Blazer has navigated an iconic path from on-court performance to on-street staple. The Blazer was also one of the earliest ‘collaboration’ sneakers when it teamed up with Stussy (more on that later this week), but tonight’s focus goes to what might be the most coveted Blazers ever – the Supreme collaboration of 2006.
Releasing on April 21st, the Supreme x Nike SB Blazer was actually a trio of colorways (Black, Varsity Red, and Sail) and was inspired by the blinged-out fashion on the 1980′s; the golden detailing, the Gucci-inspired stripe on the heel, the quilted upper, and the python snakeskin Swoosh exuded the Retro luxury for an immaculate reconception of the OG Nike model. In typical Supreme fashion, this release called on major campouts and release date queues, and the high demand of six years ago is echoed today, as each pair is valued around $700. More of Supreme’s rendition of this classic release below, so take a look at all three and stay tuned for more Classics Revisited: Nike Blazer in the following days.

The recent launch of the Hennessy x Futura collection out in LA was a star studded event, one that brought out a good number of celebs who definitely do their thing with respect to sneakers. After all, Futura himself has been behind a good number of classic Swoosh sneakers so it would only be right to show up with some proper footwear. We’ll put Bun B at the top of the heap, already breaking out his pair of the Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low collab for 2012. After that Tristan Wilds of The Wire fame rocks the Air Jordan III, Jesse Williams breaks out the just released Nike Air Max 1 Hyperfuse ‘OG Blue’, and more. Click through to check out the shots and let us know who had the best fit at this black carpet event. Photos: YBF

Is last Thursday’s release of the Supreme x Nike SB Dunk Low the last of the series? It’s clear that the NYC-born skate/fashion-label is using the original Air Jordan III colorways as the base concepts for these shoes, so with ‘Fire Red’ being the assumed direction of this colorway, we could possible be in for one last hurrah before the AJ3 x SB Dunk is laid to rest for good (the White/Cement III is the last of the OG Air Jordan III colorways). Unless you were at Supreme locations on release day or lucked out with the online release, you’re probably still looking for a pair, so get ‘em before the prices get insane by picking one off like these new pairs from foamkicks on eBay.
