Article Evaluation: Discussion 1: Supreme (Brand)

To begin, this article is simplistic and even as a Wikipedia article, does not require a lot of writing as there isn't much history to many brands. Everything was very much on the topic of the supreme brands except the part where the article mentions the video that doesn't really have anything to with supreme as a brand and it's history. All the references and links to which this creator got their information check out when you click on them. Sources tend to come from well-known blogs and magazines such as COMPLEX, GQ and HYPEBEAST and that holds no bias but rather streetwear is what they are all about. There really has not been any updates regarding the brand except for new season of Supreme which I felt should have been since that is part of the culture of the brand. The store in San Francisco that was reportedly supposed to open in early 2019 still hasn't opened. The talk page is very neutral and mainly just exactly what I was mentioning in regards to going into more depth for SUPREME's collaborations and the missing factor of photos in the entire article. I would say this article really achieved its purpose of educating its readers in regards to who made the brand and its history. Article Draft #1 For this edit for Wikipedia, I chose the article Supreme (Brand). I chose this article because its a very popular, extremely scarce brand that has risen to popularity for no real reason except that it was rare and sells for super duper high resale prices. Lines are usually hugging a corner and a $5 keychain with the insignia Supreme slapped on it is now worth retail $45 and then resales for $80. The reason why I wanna edit this article is that it's missing a visual aspect when there isn’t just a red tag with Supreme on it but there a lot of seasons to it and the stores that exist aren’t in the hundreds or thousands but rather just 11 in the whole world. There are also a lot of collaborations that happened in the past year or so since the article was updated in May of 2018. This should be spoken upon and each store has its own design and history. It’s not like Walmart that has thousands of stores but simply 11 stores on Planet Earth. I plan to add more visual effect and update the collaboration and events that have happened concerning SUPREME since May 2018. I also plan on exciting and speaking more about what SUPREME sells and makes. Additions: Supreme has also collaborated with brands to create various accessories and other non-clothing items such as a cruiser bicycle,[25] bricks, crowbars, a gas-powered mini bike with Coleman,[26] an Everlast punching bag[27] to Band-Aids, fisher lures, tape measures, and power drill pins.

On September 27 of 2018, Supreme released another collaboration with well-known brand Nike exclusively at their New York, LA, London and Paris stores. The collaboration consisted of winter clothes and products for cold weather. The collection was promoted by well-known athletes such as J.R Smith and Kelly Oubre.

Lawsuits addition As of March 19 of 2019, Cnn reports that Supreme is at legal odds with companies outside of the United States that are making what is known as legal fakes where SUPREMEs copyrighted brand is used without any type of payment to Supreme which is illegal in the United States but under foreign law, it’s completely legal to use someone’s brand without due payment to the creator. The company that was making fakes was called IBF or International Brand Firm and it currently owns the trademarks to "Supreme" in 54 different countries including "Supreme Spain" which resides in Spain

Other additions There are currently 61 videos on Supreme’s website. Number of locations: 12 Specific store addition- Brooklyn James Jebbia created Supreme because while James was a teen in West Sussex, he liked to visit stores that have different and cool items but he could hardly find any so he liked to use his saved up money to take trips to London to buy from small shops just so he could have exclusive items. A mixture of these stores became the main frame for the current 12 Supreme stores worldwide.
