Supreme Confirmed Its New Nike Collab Will Be Released This Week
More from Footwear News
Update: Sept. 2, 2024 at 10:40 a.m. ET:
After previewing Saturday a first look at its upcoming Nike collaboration, Supreme has now confirmed the official release details.
On Monday, the NYC-based streetwear brand announced its Nike Clogposite collab in three colorways along with a set of matching Nike Crew Socks. Part of Supreme’s fall 2024 range, the shoes take on a clear racing inspiration with two styles getting special graphic treatments from Drudi Performance.
All three pairs in the collaboration use Nike’s molded Foamposite technology on their uppers and feature neoprene tongues for a snug fit, mesh ventilation on the inner medial side and co-branding throughout the shoe. Supreme x Nike Crew Socks in each colorway will also be released, although they are sold separately from the Clogposites.
Supreme has a storied past with the Nike Foamposite. In April 2014, the brands launched two collaborative styles of the sneaker, a drop so popular that the in-store release was shut down by the NYPD after massive crowds gathered. The pairs were eventually sold only from the brand’s e-commerce store and are among the most coveted Supreme x Nike collabs to this day.
The full Supreme x Nike Clogposite collection, pictured in detail below, will be made available September 5 from most of Supreme’s stores and its e-commerce site. An Asia release will take place September 7. Retail pricing has not yet been confirmed, but readers can likely expect an increase from the standard Nike Clogposite’s price of $140.
What We Originally Reported on Aug. 31, 2024
Supreme’s fall 2024 season began just weeks ago, and it’s already revealed its second Nike collaboration.
After launching Thursday a Nike Air Force 1 Mid in two colorways, Supreme announced Saturday a new Nike Clogposite collection comprising three colorways. The collab was previewed via the streetwear brand’s Instagram account and is not yet accompanied by further news on Supreme’s website, although the pairs are slated to be released Thursday, September 5.
Supreme previewed its Nike Clogposite in blue/yellow, white/black/red/green, and all-black looks. Each style includes Supreme branding in white near the heel and small embroidered Nike Swooshes toward the front on their neoprene toes. Co-branding appears on each shoe’s red insole, and the two multicolor makeups include additional “Drudi Performance” branding. Those pairs also incorporate sporty, racing-esque graphic prints created by designer Aldo Drudi across their molded Foamposite uppers.
For the collection’s reveal, Supreme referenced Nike’s classic “1-800 number” ads from the 1990s. Calling the number leads to a voicemail of engines revving, playing upon the collaboration’s racing-inspired theme.
Part of Nike’s cult-favorite Foamposite lineage, the Clogposite is a somewhat obscure model which was first released in the early 2000s. Using the 1999 Air Flightposite as its muse, the Clogposite removed the zippered closure in favor of a slip-on build.
Arguably ahead of its time, the Clogposite didn’t quite catch on the way Nike may have hoped at the time. Somewhat perplexingly, the shoe returned in 2014 under the name Solo Slide — a moniker it shared with an entirely different yet similar 2001 design. 10 years later, with clogs and mules remaining a prevailing post-pandemic trend, the Clogposite made a comeback. Nike has released several in-line colorways already, and this upcoming Supreme iteration marks the first collaboration on the model.
More details surrounding the Supreme x Nike Clogposite will be announced this week. The three styles are expected to be released Thursday on Supreme’s e-commerce store at 11 a.m. ET and will also be available from its retail stores.
