Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Nike Team Cuffed Beanie is a knit winter cap in 100% acrylic with a folded cuff and a standard embroidered Swoosh on the front — a stock silhouette used across Nike's team sports program. The SS2021 Supreme collab replaces the standard embroidery with a printed snakeskin Nike Futura logo that wraps the full cuff, part of Week 3's snakeskin capsule released alongside a matching half-zip hoodie and cargo sweatpants. Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Phil Knight and Bill Bowerman. 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.
