About the original
Montana Cans BLACK 50ml mini spray cans use the same high-pressure nitro-combination formula as the full-size BLACK line, delivering opaque coverage, fast drying, and compatibility with standard graffiti caps in a pocket-sized can. Montana Cans was founded in Heidelberg, Germany in 1994 and developed the BLACK line specifically for writers, with a focus on pressure control, pigment density, and cap interchangeability. The 50ml format is used for detail work, stencils, and travel. The Supreme SS21 set pairs a box-logo printed Montana can with a steel holder; the paint itself is the standard Montana BLACK formula.
About Montana Cans

The brand produces high-pressure and low-pressure aerosol cans, interchangeable caps, and markers formulated specifically for graffiti writers and muralists, with named colorways developed in consultation with active painters. Montana Cans is one of two unrelated Montana brands in the spray paint market, the other being Spanish-founded Montana Colors (MTN); the two have a contested trademark history. The cans are sold globally through specialist art and graffiti retailers. Supreme has collaborated with Montana Cans on co-branded spray paint cans.
