This Supreme rider jacket brings together some of the biggest names in streetwear, including Stussy and UNDFTD, in addition to 'Preme. However, the jacket has never garnered that much press, probably due to the fact that only 11 of the custom-made jackets were ever produced. Hypebeast spoke with the jacket's creator, Zech Renteria, about its backstory and why he's decided to give his away.
Renteria was designing for Italian brand Alpinestars when the manager of L.A.'s Supreme store, Humberto Liechty, approached him about a collaboration. "It was the emotional connection I needed," Renteria tells Hypebeast. "I’ve had a lot of respect for Supreme since the late ’90s from my New York design trips. So Berto and Jon Warren did the layout, and ended up using UNDFTD, Stussy, as well as Taka Hayashi’s Vans Syndicate logos. 11 jackets were custom-made in Asolo, Italy at Alpinestars headquarters."
The jackets were so limited because they never went up for sale and were designed for a specific few, according to Renteria. He also collaborated with Supreme on a motorcycle race suit that featured lettering done by famed tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon.
Now, Renteria has decided to give away this extremely rare jacket. He only hopes it "doesn’t end up in some hater’s hands." You can enter the giveaway here.
