"A brick? Supreme has made a brick with the Box logo on it! “
It's like Supreme giving the world a big middle finger and saying, "I'll make a brick, you'll all buy it, and you'll be able to fry it for $1,000!" ”

Many of Supreme's accessories may seem haphazard at first, but in fact, each accessory has a real reason behind it. For example, a few months after the success of the first Supreme x Oakley Frogskin sunglasses in 2007, New York workers showed off samples of some of the Supreme ski goggles made by Oakley and affixed the Box logo to the strap. While they look great, they were never put into production, and at the time James (Supreme founder) thought they weren't authentic products for Supreme – because Supreme was only involved in products related to skateboarding, which had little to do with snowboarding. Still, it's interesting to note that a lot of people enjoy snowboarding on vacation, so the decision was flipped over a few years later, and a Supreme x Smith goggles came into the hipster's sights.
Over the past decade, Supreme has really beefed up their product range, with the preview accessories section of each season becoming an essential talking point, and a lot of people are watching what they're up again this time! Below, I take you to see the 50 strongest accessories of the Supreme!
<h1>Sporting goods</h1>
1. Boxing gloves
James Jebbia has always been a boxing enthusiast — many of Supreme's T-shirt graphics reflect his love of the sport — so it makes sense that Supreme has partnered with Everlast to develop a range of accessories.
In 2008 a three-piece set of Supreme x Everlast boxing gloves was introduced, blue, black and iconic red (with mini glove keyring).

2. Baseball bat
Take a moment to get to know the people at Supreme's original Lafayette St store, and you'll soon find out that the staff there are all baseball fans (of course, they're in New York, and there's a team called Yankee), so Over the years Supreme has made all kinds of baseball and softball bats.

3. Basketball
Supreme is all about working with the best brands in their field, so when they pay homage to basketball, there's only one option: Spalding.
Spalding, the NBA's official ball game partner, produced two full-grain leather basketballs for Supreme — the 2007 "Every One, Teach One" logo version, and the 2016 Mark Gonzalez "Butterfly" print edition.
I love playing basketball with local tycoons
4. American football
In 2010, Supreme offered a mini rugby made by sports company Wilson. Handcrafted, it's available in red and brown leather, including the Supreme and Wilson logos.
5. Double knuckle stick
Having seen Bruce Lee's image on various Supreme projects, we all know that these guys are very good at martial arts, so it's a cool idea to make their own brand of knuckle sticks. This lightweight training accessory was featured in a short film ad at the Anderson Martial Arts Academy in New York.

6. Baseball gloves
To complement the 2006 Louisville Slugger bat, Supreme also partnered with famed baseball glove brand Franklin to introduce a pair of black and red batting gloves.
Five years later, a pair of leather/woven bicycle gloves from Italian bike brand Cinelli was also released.
7. Baseball
Already working with the most prominent baseball bat and glove manufacturer, Supreme followed the official league balls of traditional baseball brand Rawlings, who also made a ball with its own LOGO.
8. Sky bouncing ball
Sky Bounce balls have been called "the classics that never stop bouncing on city streets" and are a popular choice for games like handball and squash. In 2011 Supreme co-named a Sky Bounce ball and relaunched it as a free gift on the opening day of season 16.
I bounced off and bounced away crow's feet
9. Baseball pennant
In March 2015, our beloved Supreme skateboarding store teamed up with one of the world's largest sports teams, the New York Yankees, to accomplish something unimaginable before. The collection includes jackets, hats, tops and even t-shirts from the double brand Box Logo. The most interesting project is this banner of supporters, featuring the famous logos of the two brands.
The triangular pennants have red, black and Yankees Navy.
10. Air horn
While the air horn is often used in sports like ice hockey, mixed martial arts, and professional wrestling, it has many other uses – like adding some buzz to the dance floor! When the Supreme abandoned the all-red version in 2015, it sold out immediately and was one of the most popular accessories for that fall and winter.
<h1>Drinking and smoking</h1>
11. Convenient paper bag
Because of the city's "open container" laws, drinking alcohol on the streets of New York can cost $25, so in 2007, Supreme produced a handy 5-pack brown paper bag. After a party at Tompkins or Lenox Ledges, there's nothing like opening a cold beer, so why not hide it? Supreme's improvisation of classic liquor store accessories - highest F.T.P. ("Fuck Tha Police") The crest appears at the bottom of the bag.
12. Bible hiding box
One of my personal favorite Supreme accessories is this stash box. From the outside it looks a bit like a standard copy of the New Testament, but it's really a stash box.
A version of Chairman Mao's quotations should be introduced
13. Cigarette paper
Love or hate it, but leaves are an important part of skateboarding culture. Back in 2008, Supreme gave a less subtle nod to their appreciation of leaves with these brand rolls. The appearance of the package looks like a store's business card and, when opened, reveals the African-American proverb "Every One Teach One." Of course, they were made by a company called Rolling Supreme.

14. Skating tools
In 2006, Supreme produced a pocket-sized skating tool. This handy kit is not only ideal for adjusting the main pin and bolts, but also serves as a sneaky smoker! The tool is finished in stainless steel or gold and features a nice co-branded box.
In the future, I did not dare to talk to the people who repaired the water pipe
15. Incense
If you walk into any of Supreme's retail stores, you'll find that they taste exactly the same. From Japan to Los Angeles to Paris, the unique aroma of these stores is because they are burning Naga Champa incense. It was originally used to mask the smell of other burning substances behind New York stores, and many of the products purchased there have a faint, lingering Indian scent.
This is one of the rarest Supreme accessories, their original incense stick released in 2002. This set of 40 grams of incense, beautifully packaged in a custom box, contains illustrations of Indian tantras. Seven years later, they partnered with Japanese lifestyle brand Kuumba to launch a new set of incense sticks with neat cylindrical boxes and a Box Logo ski tray.
Supreme's partnership with Kuumba continued until 2013, when virgin Mary Shizucal Wax candles were launched.
It smells like Supreme
16. Matches
To be honest, apart from the fact that they are small and have a Supreme logo on the box, I really can't remember any other features. I think the staff in New York recommended it to me sometime in the late 90s/early 00s. Over the years, though, I've slowly discovered that this gadget is pretty cool.
17. Lighter
When you've run out of Supreme matches, you want to light your Supreme candle, Supreme incense or light a cigarette rolled up with Supreme's cigarette paper, well, you have a Supreme lighter in your pocket!
More common is Supreme's disposable BIC lighter, which is decorated with images of adult movie star Tera Patrick, a collaboration logo with Undercover, misfits skulls, and of course the powerful Box logo.
If you want something more substantial than BIC, then opt for Supreme's special edition Zippo lighter. Since 2008, the classic American lighter has undergone a Supreme makeover in a variety of shades and engravings.
18. Ashtray
If nothing could make the soot disappear, the smoking peripheral accessories wouldn't disappear, so Supreme ordered an ashtray in its huge selection. Whether glass, ceramic, plastic, square, round, rectangular or shaped like a pistol, Supreme produces a large number of creative basic household items.
The pinnacle of this collection must be their incredible 2012 co-title in the famous red/gold Hermès "Sellier".
19. Stash Pill Carabiner
This seemingly innocent Box Logo brand carabiner is actually unscrewed to show off a hollow interior – perfect for storing any pill you like.
20. Bottle opener
Open your bottle with a Supreme bottle opener like a hipster.
In my opinion, out of dozens of key chain bottle openers of various styles, from my point of view, the best is the 2010 wall-mounted STARR X bottle opener. The classic-designed fixed bottle opener is made of stainless steel, with the Supreme's Box Logo embossed on top and the phrase "Open Bottle Here" usually appears.
<h1>Practical items</h1>
21. Bike lock
A lot of the Supreme team in New York are avid cyclists because it's a great way to get around the city. The first Supreme brand bike lock was released for 2007 – it's a lightweight aluminum chain available in red and black. The item was quickly re-released, but this time it was a dual-brand version with Fujiwara Hiroshi's Fragment Design. Supreme x Fragment Design is also available in blue, next to the red and black mentioned above. I'm not sure if this is limited to the Japanese version, as I picked this version in Tokyo at the time.
As bike thieves get worse, cyclists must also protect their rides. Supreme keeps the bike safe by using the locks of the heavy-duty Kryptonite U-Lock. But the question is, who will guarantee the safety of this $2,000 Supreme bike lock?
22. Bicycle pump
Another important cyclist accessory is the bike pump, which has partnered with established pump manufacturer Lezyne, starting with a Supreme brand handheld pump in 2011 and followed by a larger aluminum floor pump in 2016.
23. Lock
In 2008, Supreme abandoned three combination locks from Master Lock, the largest padlock manufacturer in the United States. This simple accessory perfectly highlights the monotonous school locker.
Not too impressive, but also very cool, is the mini brass padlock introduced in 2015.
24. Cassette cutter
There are a lot of people working in the Supreme warehouse and they need to open a lot of boxes every day! Why not open that belted box with a Box Logo-branded cutter? In 2006, the products were released in three colors, and Supreme made a cool gadget that wasn't just for the staff in the delivery room, but also made it easy to open packages you'd shopped online.
25. Knife
Over the years, there have been quite a few Supreme knives, but the most impressive blade has to be the powerful Supreme Buck knife.
In 2009, Supreme partnered with Buck to develop the Buck Range Model 120, a follow-up to their famous "Model 110" folding knife, the best tool design since its release in 1963. The Supreme version features the same brass inlay and wooden handles, stained with two different veneers (black or red, natural) and, of course, a large Supreme logo overlay.
26. Towels
Every year, impressive beach towels (including astronaut, grand prix, abstract and box logo graphics) are part of Supreme's accessory range, but before these full-size items, the first Supreme towel was actually a free gift from a Japanese magazine. In April 2006, the Japanese fashion magazine Smart released their June issue, which included a mini magazine dedicated to Supreme. The publication showcases upcoming products, profiles of New York stores and free gifts - hand towels with a red logo.
Supreme later made more of these little towels, including a leopard print edition (giving away the Supreme Book Volume 5), the Patriotic Star-Spangled Banner design, the "Bling" Box logo, and a special collaboration with the New York Yankees.
They also made several old-fashioned English pub-style beer towels in 2010.
27. Playboy key
The first Playboy Club opened in Chicago in 1960, and others opened in major cities in North America and overseas. In the last three months of 1961, more than 132,000 people visited the Chicago Club, making it the busiest nightclub in the world. All club members received a Bunny-headed metal playboy key (replaced by a plastic key card in 1966), which was required to enter the club and it became a status symbol in the early '60s.
As part of their inaugural Playboy Time Capsule series held in 2011, Supreme paid tribute to the Old School Members Club. It's a very nice and delicate little gadget that is often overlooked.
28. Compass
I remember one of the earliest non-skateboard-specific accessories produced by Supreme was this low-key compass keyring in the late '90s. Available in red, black and tan, this is an early entry into the accessories market.
29. Flashlight
In 2007, Supreme partnered with renowned American manufacturer Magic to launch their classic D-Cell LED flashlight. There is the "SUP" brand on the handle, and this initial version was the beginning of the Collaborative Collection of American Brands, founded in 1974.
30. Wire breakers
Diving into a fenced ice skating rink can be tricky, so the next time you feel like you're breaking into an important field surrounded by a fence, you'd better bring a handy Supreme wire breaker.
31. Hammer
One thing you may have noticed is that Supreme is hailed as a classic American brand when it comes to producing accessories. This trend continued in 2012, when Supreme decided to team up with Hardcore to make this daunting hammer.
32. Crowbar
Yes, this is again the tool series (they even released an actual toolbox!). Supreme drove up-and-coming DIY enthusiasts crazy in 2015 with their own crowbars. "Shit Happens" is the motto printed on the tool – any illegal activity carried out with this piece is certainly OK.
33. Kidde fire extinguishers
In 1917, Walter Kidde founded the Walter Kidde Company, which produced the first integrated smoke detection and carbon dioxide extinguishing system for ships. Almost a century later, Kidde produced the top-of-the-line FX340GW red fire extinguisher specifically for The Supreme. If you accidentally start a fire with your Supreme lighter, then protect your numerous Supreme costumes perfectly!
34. Hourglass
If boiling an egg takes 3 minutes, what can you accomplish in 2.5 minutes? Then you can find The Hourglass of Supreme!
35. Sleeping bag
The North Face may have been in bed with Supreme since 2007, but they didn't actually give them a place to sleep until 2011. The Supreme x TNF Dolomite sleeping bag comes in classic red, simple black and painted camouflage versions. Following the original trio, he withdrew from the second "Bandana" series in 2014.
My favorite part is that they didn't use any outdoor camping photos to promote this version, preferring instead the old sofas where models Lucien Smith and Lucien Clarke looked pretty.
36. Alarm clock
Once you've passed out in the aforementioned Supreme sleeping bag, you still need to get up and do something the next day, so there's no better way to wake up this Supreme x Braun travel alarm.
37. Dog bowl
There are dogs all the time around the Supreme store. In the past, Neal Santos' dog was almost part of lafayette St. store furniture, and Los Angeles store manager Jeff Kutter's hound "Charles" was an Instagram star in his own right.
In 2011, Supreme offered dog lovers a stylish dog feeding piece with a red or black ceramic dog bowl. 5 years later, these things are crazy on the secondary market.
Man is not as good as a dog series
38 sports cups
Over the years, Supreme has produced a large number of fun sports cups to fill with water. These include professional water bottles, Nalgene bottles, Klean Kanteen bottles, army style kettles, Helios thermos bottles, wine jugs, espresso cups, British pint cups. On top of the bar's glass and even the coffee cup are the "L'Origine du Monde" by French artist Gustave Courbet.
<h1>Interesting and novel items</h1>
39. Medicom Kubrick Toys
In 2005, they stopped at Sesame Street and were drawn to a nearby automatic weapon Elmo toy (from a Raekwon poster shoot), and a staff member was somewhat shocked. Muppets worked together just three years later. Kermit the Frog became an American icon, so when Supreme followed their portrait T-shirt shot by T-shirts and the image of Medicom Kubrick, a little green puppet, people quickly snapped them up. Retailing for just $18 in a blister package backed by a 6cm-tall vinyl figure, the famous Muppet wears his own Supreme box logo T-shirt.
40. Refrigerator stickers
There's not much to say except that it's a Supreme refrigerator magnet. I remember these guys sitting in the cupboards of New York stores for a long time because most people thought it was just stickers!
41. Water gun
2011 is a vintage vintage for Supreme accessories, these small and innovative water guns that allow you to visit the beach or park cool off during the hot summer months. The unbranded version of any corner store may cost around $2-3, but you'll see resale fees of up to $100 for these Supreme water guns in red or blue.
42. Spring knife
Supreme released several classic metal combs, but it's a truly eye-catching 2010 spring knife. The turning knife (or flick knife) was a popular tool for gangster crime in the United States in the 50s, and around the same time the "refueling" subculture became a symbol of young rebellion.
43. Playing cards
The American brand Bicycle produces the most versatile playing cards in the world. From the most unique tables in Las Vegas, to any respected magician to a card game played at home, Bicycle is the industry standard.
Supreme first partnered with Bicycle in 2009 with a red "SUP" signage set and launched a "Street View" set the following year.
A set of All-Gold Supreme poker cards was released in 2013, but I feel like they weren't made by Bikecle.
44. Air freshener
Keep your car, home, office or sneakers fresh with Supreme Pina Colada Air Freshener. These magic trees are modeled after the shapes or designs or paintings of many artists.
45. Baoding Ball
Baoding balls, also known as Chinese meditation balls, are small metal balls that rotate repeatedly in the hand designed to improve finger flexibility, relax or help restore muscle strength after surgery. In the movie Boyz N The Hood, Laurence Fishburne's character, Furious, uses a set of Baoding balls while working from home.
Supreme's 45mm iron Baoding ball features a stunning red/gold velvet brand case.

46. Harmonica
Since 1857, the German musical instrument brand Hohner has been producing harmonica. In 2012, Supreme branded the classic Hohner 360 harmonica with a custom Supreme screen printed box.
47. Domino set
A prime example of Supreme's adoption of a very ordinary object and giving it an elegant makeover is these dominoes. The classic white dominoes are each labeled with the Supreme logo and packaged in a red wooden box. A promotional video has been added to the "random" section of Supreme's website with huge domino collapse settings.
48: Beach balls and inflatable rafts
I've already mentioned the Supreme beach towel, so another essential beach accessory you'll need is this full-size inflatable raft. Supreme also distributed free beach balls to customers who lined up on opening day.
The brightest star on the beach
49: Piggy bank
It was expensive to keep up with the Supreme evolution, so they prepared a piggy bank for everyone with a large mold like a dice. Piggy banks are available in red, white or black and were released in 2011.
Save enough money to buy Supreme's piggy bank
50. Dice set
Many people thought trying to buy anything in Supreme's online store was like a game of chance, so in 2011 they offered gamblers a beautiful set of dice. The dice are available in red or white and are placed in a Plexiglass box.
This is by no means the final list of the most advanced accessories, but I have picked some of the most interesting items. The Supreme Box logo also decorates laptops, carpets, toolboxes, lock boxes, phone straps, phone cases, camera bags, CDs, pens, screwdrivers, umbrellas, chairs, tables and even salt and pepper bottles!
Where will they go next? One thing is for sure, Supreme will make everyone guess and push the boundaries of its legendary logo.
