Supreme has undoubtedly established itself as one of the coolest, and most desirable, streetwear brands out today. Its everlasting appeal is why a giant clothing conglomerate like VF Corp. recently purchased the brand for $2.1 billion this month. However, Supreme’s status as a streetwear brand is also why they can practically release anything. Over the years, Supreme has released everything from branded nunchucks to Honda dirt bikes. It’s products like these that have built an obsessive collecting culture around the brand — shouts out to Joe Migraine.
However, Supreme is well-known for going off the deep end at times. The brand has taken many risks with some of its art collaborations, working with risque artists like the Japanese Hentai pioneer Toshio Maeda or Andres Serrano of “Piss Christ” fame. But even if these are considered odd collaborations, art by nature is weird to anyone who doesn’t understand its meaning. So outside of art collabs, Supreme has released plenty of weird items that either have nothing to do with the brand or are seemingly normal items that are bizarrely fetishized by its diehard fanbase.
To kick off the final weeks of Supreme’s Fall 2020 season, we compiled this list of the 10 weirdest items Supreme has ever released.
Supreme Tall Boy Bags
Supreme Skate Tool Pipes
This item isn’t really that weird at first. As a skate tool, it’s perfectly fine for securing trucks and wheels onto a deck. As a pipe, it will probably work fine, too. But if you’re really one of those rare types of weirdos who is down to smoke some bowls out of this after removing a set of dirty ass wheels or trucks, this is definitely a mad sus Supreme item to have lying around your home.
Supreme Anatomy Model
There are so many great Supreme desk accessories to choose from. This isn’t one of them. Even though it says Supreme on it, you’re going to look OD weird having a human anatomy model just casually sitting on your desk. According to the company that produced these for Supreme, these models are made “up to medical education quality.” So I guess this is more like a subtle flex to have if you’re a med school student, doctor, or biology teacher. Still, we know 95 percent of the customers who bought this are not working in any of those fields. For the handful of people who are interested in Supreme items like this, there’s also a creepy keychain and T-shirt that compliments this well.

The Supreme Brick
We really don’t have to talk about this Supreme Brick anymore. Yes, Supreme released a brick in 2016, their customers brought it, and it created enough buzz amongst people who know nothing about the brand. It’s definitely a weird accessory to have just sitting in your home. But knowing how die-hard Supreme collectors are, this brick embossed with a box logo was worth every penny. I can’t wait to see this brick exhibited in The Modern Museum of Art’s retrospective exhibition on Supreme in 2054.
Supreme Poppy Seeds
Expired Supreme Oreos
Upon release, many of the items on this list aren’t really that weird to own. When the Supreme Oreos dropped in Spring 2020, they were reasonably priced at $3 a pack and would have made for a tasty snack if people just ate them like they were supposed to. But of course, no one actually did that. Instead, resellers brought multiple packs at a time and resold them for as little as $8 a pack. Although some people actually paid resale to film themselves eating red Oreos branded with Supreme’s box logo, others simply copped these to display as a collector’s item. Whatever the case may be, if you own a pack of these and didn’t eat them before it expired in June of 2020, you’re honestly kind of sus. And if you copped a pack of fake Supreme Oreos off TaoBao, the FBI needs to speak to you because you’re a prime suspect that’s probably up to other weirdo acts we need to address. Nevertheless, packs of expired Supreme Oreos are still up for sale on Grailed.
Supreme Colgate Toothpaste
Who knows how Supreme lands collaborations with brands like Oreo or Colgate — shouts out to whoever works in the marketing department of both these companies for tapping into “the culture.” During the brand’s Fall 2020 season, Supreme followed up its sweet Oreo collaboration with something even more bizarre: $3 tubes of Colgate toothpaste. Although these didn’t sell out immediately like the Supreme Oreos, resellers still copped multiple tubes to resell on platforms like Grailed. And yes, Supreme collectors cried online about the brand shipping these in bubble mailers, which led to toothpaste boxes arriving damaged in the mail. I’m glad I don’t have children, because I would be hella disappointed if my son had six unopened tubes of Supreme toothpaste just sitting in the corner of his room.
