Alright, let’s talk about some of them weird supreme items, you know, the stuff that makes you scratch your head and say, “What in the world were they thinkin’?”
I ain’t no fancy expert or nothin’, but I’ve seen my fair share of odd things, and some of these Supreme things, well, they’re right up there with the two-headed chickens I saw once at the county fair.
First off, they got this, uh, whatchamacallit, anatomy model. Yep, you heard that right. Like, the kind the doctors use, but with the Supreme logo slapped on it. Now, I ain’t no doctor, but I reckon most folks ain’t buyin’ that for medical reasons. It’s just plain weird, like buyin’ a fancy toilet seat when you got an outhouse.
Then there’s this brick. A brick! Not a fancy gold brick or nothin’, just a regular ol’ brick with “Supreme” on it. They say it was from some collection, FW16 or somethin’. I don’t know about you, but I got a whole pile of bricks out back that didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Makes you wonder if folks got more money than sense.
Supreme, they do all sorts of collaborations, they say. Like, they put their name on anything and everything. One time, I saw they even made pocket knives. Now, pocket knives are useful, I got one myself for cuttin’ twine, but these were, I don’t know, fancy-lookin’ and probably cost a fortune. You’d be scared to even use it for openin’ a feed sack.
- And then they got Post-It flags. You know, them little sticky things you use to mark pages in a book? Well, Supreme made ’em. I guess if you gotta mark somethin’, might as well do it with fancy stickies, right? Seems a bit much, if you ask me.
- There are other things, like, I don’t know, all sorts of weird gadgets and doohickeys. One fella was talkin’ about some kinda special edition thing for their 25th anniversary. Sounded like a whole lot of hoopla over stuff nobody really needs.
I reckon Supreme is just tryin’ to be different, you know? Stand out from the crowd. And I guess they’re doin’ a good job of it, ’cause folks are buyin’ this stuff up. But me? I’ll stick to my overalls and my gardenin’ tools. At least I know what to do with them.
It’s like that time my grandson brought home a pair of them fancy sneakers, cost more than my old mule Bessie. He said they were “designer.” I told him, “Boy, them shoes ain’t gonna plow no field.” Same goes for these Supreme things. They might look nice on a shelf, but they ain’t gonna help you fix a fence or bake a pie.
I heard someone sayin’ somethin’ about some “questionable pieces” in Supreme collections. Well, I reckon that’s the truth. Some of it just makes you wonder who’s comin’ up with these ideas. Maybe they got too much time on their hands, or maybe they just like seein’ how much money folks will spend on somethin’ silly.
Supreme is famous for wild collaborations, someone told me. Seems like they put their name on just about anything. Makes you wonder what’s next. Supreme toilet paper? Supreme toothpicks? Wouldn’t surprise me none.
And they talk about “rare” Supreme items. Rare? Like, they ain’t gonna make no more? Well, I got a jar of pickled beets from last summer that’s rare too, ’cause I ain’t got no more beets. But I ain’t tryin’ to sell it for a hundred dollars, that’s for sure.
One thing’s for sure, Supreme knows how to get people talkin’. And I guess that’s the whole point. They make somethin’ weird, folks talk about it, and then they go and buy it. It’s a funny ol’ world, ain’t it? People payin’ good money for things they don’t need, just because it’s got a fancy name on it.
So, there you have it. My take on them weird Supreme items. Like I said, I ain’t no expert, just an ol’ woman who’s seen a thing or two. And I reckon I’ve seen enough weird stuff to last me a lifetime. But something tells me, Supreme ain’t done yet. They’ll probably come up with somethin’ even weirder next season. And folks will probably buy it. Goes to show, there’s somethin’ for everyone, I guess, even if it’s just a brick with a fancy name on it.
