Supreme has teamed up with Spike Lee’s production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, on a collection celebrating the works of the iconic Brooklyn-based filmmaker.
Lee made his directorial debut in 1986 with She’s Gotta Have It, shot largely in black-and-white over the course of two weeks. In the four decades since then, Lee has written and directed over 30 films, including his enduring 1989 masterpiece Do The Right Thing, School Daze, Mo’ Better Blues, Jungle Fever, Malcolm X, Crooklyn, Clockers, Chi-Raq, and BlacKkKlansman, for which he won an Academy Award in 2019.
Across such widely varied films, Lee has boldly explored a complex landscape of social and political issues shaping American life – chiefly through the lens of Black histories, relationships, communities, and cultures. Perhaps more than any other filmmaker, Lee has captured the richness of Black experiences with unflinching narrative and visual style.
The Supreme x 40 Acres collection highlights Lee’s monumental biopic Malcolm X and the 1995 crime drama Clockers. Comprised of a Varsity Jacket, Baseball Jersey, two T-Shirts, and a 6-Panel Hat, the pieces draw inspiration from 40 Acres merch of the ’90s, originally sold at Spike’s Joint in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and Spike’s Joint West on Melrose Ave.
The Supreme x 40 Acres collection drops Thursday, April 24th on the Supreme website and at Supreme locations. Check out the full offering below.
