About the original
The Supreme x WTAPS "Street As Usual" Skateboard is a 7-ply maple popsicle deck produced for Supreme's Fall/Winter 2021 collaboration with the Tokyo label. WTAPS was founded in 1996 in Tokyo by Tetsu Nishiyama, a former skater and stylist whose work draws on military uniform patternmaking and the graphic language of 1970s American workwear. The black deck carries a centered "STREET AS USUAL" screen print in white block lettering above small co-branded WTAPS and Supreme box logo marks. Construction uses standard Supreme skateboard build: 7-ply Canadian maple, screen-printed bottom graphic, and standard nose and tail concave. Released December 2, 2021 at $60 alongside the broader FW21 WTAPS capsule. This is a Supreme-exclusive product with no non-Supreme equivalent; the graphic, deck shape, and co-branding exist only within this collaboration.
About WTAPS
WTAPS is a Japanese streetwear label founded in 1996 by Tetsu Nishiyama in Tokyo, with roots in the Ura-Harajuku scene. Nishiyama, who launched his first label FPAR (Forty Percents Against Rights) in 1993, took the WTAPS name from a military term meaning the second shot always finishes the target. The brand draws on military uniforms, workwear, and utilitarian gear, translating sourced details into garments cut from heavyweight cottons, ripstop, and CORDURA. In 2011 Nishiyama opened the GIP (Gorilla: The Incubation Period) flagship store in Shibuya. Supreme has collaborated with WTAPS on co-branded outerwear, knitwear, and graphic apparel across multiple seasons.
