When word of the collaboration between Supreme and AKIRA was happening the Supreme AKIRA Arm Hoodie Sweatshirt was one of the pieces most talked about. AKIRA is a Japanese manga and film by Katsuhiro Otomo based around a post-World World III era that involves motorcycle gangs, disarray and beings with supernatural powers. For many the film adaptation is a animation and science fiction masterpiece thanks to its storytelling and visualization. The scene featured on the sweatshirt is a moment that anyone who has read the manga or seen the movie remembers. Supreme knows that a picture is worth 1,000 words and that holds true with this piece. The black and white original Otomo artwork is front and center, printed on the black cotton hooded sweatshirt. The only exterior branding seen is the AKIRA kanji name added to the hood. The collection released on November 2nd, 2017 online and at the Supreme shops in New York, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, London and Paris, while Japan waited until November 4th. Whatever date you tried to cop the Supreme AKIRA Arm Hooded Sweatshirt was hard to snag but you might be able to find your size now on the marketplace.
