No.4: Fall/Winter 2015

Supreme and The North Face have released probably one of their most iconic collaboration pieces during their Fall/Winter 2015 season. The bold futura font printed, “By Any Means Necessary” is a phrase that has been used as it says in Hypebeast, “The phrase was first uttered in French intellectual Jean-Paul Sartre’s 1948 play Dirty Hands in regard to abolishing social classes, then spoken by Malcom X in a 1964 speech at the founding rally for the Organization of Afro-American Unity in New York City during the height of his fight for racial equality.” The phrase then was most recently used by Supreme printing it across the Nuptse jacket.

The Nuptse jacket is a durable jacket including a 700 down filling, incorporated with wind and water-resistant technology. The item was the perfect fit for Supreme’s F/W 2015 season as it was the perfect item for streetwear enthusiasts to put in their wardrobe during the cold winter season of 2015.

No.3: Fall/Winter 2019

Supreme released their Supreme/The North Face Baltoro jacket during Fall/Winter 2019, this collaboration piece featured a huge printing of the statue of Liberty on the front and back of the jacket.

No.1: Fall/Winter 2024

The latest collaboration between the two brands has been put on top of the list as this drop put a full stop to the ongoing legacy of the two brands that went on for 17 years; Since 2007, the two brands have released over 40 collaborations together and this collection marks an end to their long term relationship. This collection consisted of a Nuptse Jacket, Mountain Jacket, Down Filled Hooded Sweatshirt, S/S Top, and Beanie. The artwork for this collaboration has been done by Raymond Pettibon who has previously worked with Supreme on several other products as shown below.

Raymond Pettibon is an American artist who lives and works in New York City. He gained popularity during the early 1980s in the southern California punk rock scene and originally worked on creating posters and album covers for groups on SST Records. Supreme likes to collaborate with American-born artists for some of their products and Raymond was one of them. As Supreme and The North Face's collaboration has come to an end, it marks its history on the streetwear scene as it leaves its products on the resell and stock market online. Some of their items are reselling for thousands of dollars and this explains the impact the two brands have had on the streetwear community itself and shaped the streetwear era for the past decades.
