The top 5 Supreme stores in the world Where there will always be a long queue
The fact that there are so few Supreme stores in the world has fueled, over the last twenty years, the huge hype surrounding the brand. The first and original location on Lafayette Street in New York became famous, in the 90s, for its particularly curated aesthetic and, twenty years and thirteen flagships later, that same clean style, that attitude to curation that in the 90s made the first store so different from the other skate stores of the time.
Upon the opening of Supreme first store in Milan, nss magazine wanted to retrace the aesthetics of Supreme stores through the five best locations that the brand has opened in the world.
San Francisco, California
Transplanting the New York world of Supreme through the streets of Le Marais in Paris could have been a difficult operation: first of all for the narrow spaces imposed by the architecture of the French capital, and then for the inherent chicness of the city more accustomed to couture than streetwear – yet the equation worked: the Parisian store is the most discreet of the entire Supreme family, at least outside, with an interior that concisely presents the products and that is set in a classic courtyard French visible through the semi-transparent roof.
Harajuku, Japan
Supreme's fifth store, which opened in 2004 after the opening of the three locations in Japan, is also the second on American soil. The size of the LA store is double that of the original Lafayette Street store and its opening (accompanied by the release of the Box Logo in Hebrew characters) has been so successful that it brings back to life the entire Fairfax Strip which today also includes the Stores of Golf Wang and 424.
