Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Nike Club Unstructured Corduroy Cap is a six-panel dad-hat silhouette in 100% cotton corduroy with a pre-curved brim, low-profile unstructured crown, rear eyelet, and an adjustable metal clasp strap. Nike was founded as Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964 by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman and renamed Nike in 1971; corduroy six-panels have cycled through the brand's Sportswear and Heritage 86 cap programs for decades as a fall-season staple. The SS22 Supreme collab uses the same Nike shell in four colorways (black, brown, olive, and blue) with an embroidered Arc logo on the front panel and a woven Nike tag at the strap. Released May 26, 2022 at $48 against roughly $25 for a stock Club corduroy cap.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
