About the original
The Supreme / Ernie Barnes Skateboard set is a five-deck group made for Supreme's Spring/Summer 2025 season, printed with Barnes's 1976 painting The Sugar Shack split across the five decks so the full artwork appears when they are lined up. Ernie Barnes (1938–2009) was a North Carolina-born painter and former AFL offensive lineman whose elongated, kinetic figurative work became a defining image of mid-century Black American life. The Sugar Shack depicts a dance hall Barnes snuck into as a teenager in Durham; it appeared in the closing credits of the sitcom Good Times and later on Marvin Gaye's I Want You album cover. The decks are licensed art objects, sold only as a five-piece set.
