Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Nike Peak Swoosh Beanie is the cuffed knit cap in Nike's current line: a mid-depth crown with a folded cuff, an embroidered Swoosh, and a body of 80 to 100% polyester with up to 20% nylon, style HF0187, at a $32 list price. Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman. The SS2021 collab started from the Nike Team Cuffed Beanie, a 100% acrylic stock silhouette now sold only through Nike's team channels, so the Peak Swoosh is the closest current comparison. Supreme replaced the standard embroidery with a printed snakeskin Nike Futura logo wrapping the full cuff, part of Week 3's snakeskin capsule. The collab beanie retailed at $38 in black, white, and purple colorways.
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.
