Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Nike Club Fleece Crewneck is a midweight pullover built on an 80% cotton, 20% polyester fleece body with ribbed cuffs, hem, and crew collar, sold through Nike Sportswear in the $50 to $60 range. Nike was founded in 1964 in Beaverton, Oregon by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman as Blue Ribbon Sports and has run continuous Supreme collabs since the early 2000s. The FW20 Supreme version rebuilds the Club Fleece silhouette with a raised jewel-appliqué Swoosh on the chest and released on September 3, 2020 in black, white, and orange at $138, more than double Nike's direct price on the base garment.
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.
