Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Nike Club Fleece Crewneck is a midweight pullover made from 80% cotton, 20% polyester brushed-back fleece with ribbed cuffs, hem, and collar. The Club Fleece program has been a continuous Nike catalog staple since the 1990s, sold under various cut-and-sew generations at basic retail pricing. Nike was founded by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman in Beaverton, Oregon in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports, rebranded to Nike in 1971. The Supreme FW18 collaboration takes the stock Club Fleece body and adds a faux leather appliqué Nike logo on the chest and an embroidered Supreme box logo on the left sleeve. It retailed for $128 and released alongside matching sweatpants and a beanie.
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.
