About the original
A stainless steel dog bowl featuring an embossed Supreme box logo on the exterior, released SS2011 at $30 retail. Stainless steel is the standard material for pet bowls because it resists bacterial growth, survives the dishwasher, doesn't leach chemicals the way some plastics do, and will not shatter if a dog pushes it across a tile floor. The form, a rolled rim with a flat base and a rubber anti-slip ring, is the generic shape sold for a few dollars at any pet-supply store. The unbranded version is effectively interchangeable across manufacturers. This is one of the earlier examples of Supreme applying its logo to a purely functional household object with no spec change from the original.
About Unbranded
Some Supreme accessories are produced without a disclosed manufacturing partner, using generic or custom-sourced items as the base product. In these cases the original manufacturer is either contractually undisclosed, sold under a house brand by the original supplier, or assembled from components without a single branded origin. Examples include items where Supreme applies its logo to a stock product category rather than collaborating with a named maker. For catalog purposes these entries are grouped as Unbranded, with product type and specifications documented where verifiable even when the OEM is not public.

Questions
Is the Supreme Dog Bowl just the regular Stainless Steel Dog Bowl?
The Supreme Dog Bowl, released in Spring/Summer 2011, is based on the Unbranded Stainless Steel Dog Bowl.

Supreme charged $30 for the Supreme Dog Bowl; the Unbranded Stainless Steel Dog Bowl retails for $10. That's a 200% markup — buying the original saves you $20, or 67% off the Supreme price. Buy the original at retail and you skip the hype tax entirely.
