About the original
The Supreme x Spyder x New Era Balaclava is a three-way collaboration knit balaclava in acrylic with a jacquard spider-web pattern across the crown and neck, a single oval eye opening, and embroidered Spyder and New Era logos below the eye opening at the mouth. Spyder was founded in Boulder, Colorado in 1978 by David Jacobs as a ski-racing apparel brand and outfitted the U.S. Ski Team for decades. New Era Cap Company was founded in Buffalo, New York in 1920 and is the official on-field cap maker for Major League Baseball. Neither brand sells a knit balaclava in this acrylic-jacquard construction — it was produced only for Supreme's Fall/Winter 2024 collection, retail $68.
About Spyder
Spyder is an American ski apparel brand founded in 1978 by David Jacobs in Boulder, Colorado, started as a mail-order business out of his kitchen selling racing sweaters to ski-team customers. Jacobs, a former member of the Canadian National Ski Team, named the company after the spider-leg-pattern racing pants his sons wore on the circuit, borrowing the "y" spelling from the Ferrari Spyder. The brand outfitted the U.S. Ski Team from 1989 to 2022 and developed early full-body race speed suits used in World Cup competition. Authentic Brands Group acquired Spyder in 2018. Supreme has collaborated with Spyder on technical ski jackets, bib pants, and base layers.
