Supreme x Nite Ize Buglit
Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
Original — Nite Ize
BugLit Rechargeable Micro Flashlight
About the original
The Nite Ize BugLit Rechargeable is a palm-sized LED flashlight with a polycarbonate body, two 6-inch Gear Tie wrap legs (bendable wire inside rubber), an S-Biner clip, and four modes — high, low, flash, and momentary — charged over USB rather than running on disposable cells. Nite Ize was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1989 and has built its business on Gear Ties, S-Biners, and other hand-sized EDC tools. The SS24 Supreme version uses the rechargeable BugLit body with a printed box logo on the housing, released on blister packaging with a starfield backdrop.
About Nite Ize
Nite Ize is an American outdoor accessories company founded in 1989 by Rick Case in Boulder, Colorado. Case started the company as a University of Colorado undergraduate with a $1,500 family loan after a Grand Teton winter ascent inspired him to convert a Mini Maglite into a hands-free headlamp using an elastic Headband Mini Flashlight Holder. Nite Ize has since launched over 1,000 original inventions, including the S-Biner double-gated carabiner, Gear Tie reusable rubber twist tie, Figure 9 rope tightener, and Financial Tool wallet multi-tool. The company remains independent and headquartered in Boulder. Supreme collaborated with Nite Ize on co-branded carabiners and small carry hardware.
