About the original
The Zoku Glass Core Bottle is a 16-ounce double-walled bottle built around a pure borosilicate glass interior inside a silicone-suspended polymer outer shell, with a thread-free glass mouthpiece and a quarter-turn leak-proof cap. The borosilicate liner avoids the metallic taste and chemical leaching of stainless or plastic bottles, and the silicone suspension protects the glass from impact. Zoku was founded in New York in 2010 by industrial designers and is known for the Quick Pop Maker; the Glass Core line extends its housewares program into insulated drinkware. The Supreme SS21 version keeps Zoku's borosilicate-and-silicone construction and prints the box logo on the shell; it dropped February 18, 2021 in red, blue, green, and smoke.
About Zoku
Zoku is an American housewares brand founded in 2009 by Ken Zorovich and Yos Kumthampinij in Hoboken, New Jersey. The company's first product, the patented Quick Pop Maker, freezes ice pops on the countertop in as little as seven minutes without electricity, using a pre-frozen thermal core. Zoku has since expanded into ice cream makers, slushy cups, and reusable straws, and the Quick Pop Maker has been carried by Williams-Sonoma and the MoMA Design Store. Supreme has collaborated with Zoku on a co-branded ice pop maker.
