Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Nike Sportswear Club Fleece Cargo Pant is a cotton-polyester fleece jogger with an elastic drawcord waist, two side cargo pockets with flap closures, ribbed cuffs, and a brushed-back interior. Nike introduced the Club Fleece line as a year-round basic in the early 2000s as part of its Sportswear (NSW) program, and the cargo variant has been in continuous production for over a decade in standard colorways through Nike.com at roughly $70. The SS2021 Supreme version uses the same 80/20 cotton-polyester fleece construction with an added zip cargo pocket, a snakeskin-print Nike Swoosh appliqué at the waist, and an embroidered Supreme logo on the back pocket; it released March 11, 2021 at $138.
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.
