Description (Brief):
Black short sleeve t-shirt with the hologram image of rapper Tupac wearing Supreme boxers. The Tupac hologram was used at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Field in 2012. The hologram of Tupac was projected, and it looked like Snoop Dogg was rapping with Tupac who had died 15 years earlier.
Supreme began in 1994 in New York City which was beginning to see the growth of street skating. Supreme quickly became the hub of New York skate culture as the store’s staff and customers were often the neighborhood skate kids and local artists. The personification of urban living, Supreme became the focus for a growing youth culture. As it became a West Manhattan staple, Supreme became known for its quality and style and has become a worldwide company supporting the skate community from within.
