This article is part 5 of 8 in the series: New Year, New You

Supreme did just fine navigating the rocky terrain of the 2020 retail landscape. Despite shaky in-person shopping and the occasional skipped week, Supreme kept on trucking along and eventually leaned into the madness, releasing multiple pieces featuring built-in facemasks and a charity COVID-19 t-shirt. Supreme saw record sales on StockX in 2020, thanks to multiple box logo releases and the revival of popular heritage logos like the Motion and Futura. Streetwear’s favorite brand was the top dog again in 2020, and they got there by releasing banger after banger.

 

Supreme Box Logo L/S

Supreme Box Logo L/S T-Shirt

If the FW20 season rates as historic, it was because of the release of the long-rumored and highly anticipated Supreme Box Logo L/S tee. Before its release in 2020, the Supreme Box Logo had never adorned a long sleeve tee. Only releasing in October, they have quickly outsold nearly every other streetwear item on StockX. Across all six of it’s released colorways, this t-shirt has been resold on StockX more than 13,000 times, making it the best selling Supreme piece.

 

Supreme Cross Box Logo Hoodie

In another first for Supreme, the brand turned two of their precious Box Logos into a cross. The Supreme Cross Box Logo Hoodie only dropped a few weeks ago, but the sweatshirt’s eight colorways have racked up nearly 10,000 sales.  With a resale price of less than $350 USD on average, the Supreme Cross Box Logo Hoodie is also the most accessible box logo hoodie on the market!

 

Supreme Motion Logo T-shirt

Supreme Motion Logo T-shirt

Supreme resurrected their legendary Motion Logo this year, printing the brandmark on both hoodies, t-shirts, and beanies. Inspired by the opening scene of Goodfellas, the Supreme Motion Logo is held in high esteem amongst fans of the brand, and SS20 marks the first time the graphic has been used since SS16. In terms of sales volume, it was the t-shirts that took the cake. The black t-shirt alone has been sold over 2,000 times.  Just six months after its release, the black t-shirt looks like a worthy investment piece, trading for an average price premium of nearly 300%. That’s more than some Cross Box Logo t-shirts right now!

 

Supreme Tupac T-shirt

Supreme Tupac Hologram Tee

Heritage logos weren’t the only thing Supreme resurrected in 2020. With their opening week, Supreme released a new t-shirt in honor of Tupac, featuring a graphic of the artist’s hologram performance at Coachella in 2012. Until SS20, a Supreme Tupac t-shirt had been rumored for years, and while fans were likely hoping for a photo tee, the hologram t-shirt will still go on to become a classic. 

 

Supreme Covid T-shirt

Supreme x Takashi Murakami COVID-19 Relief Box Logo T-shirt

Supreme leaned into the devastation of 2020 with the release of their COVID-19 Relief Box Logo T-shirt. Created in collaboration with Takashi Murakami, this Supreme box logo t-shirt did a whole lot of good, raising millions of dollars in proceeds to charity. A collaborative Supreme box logo only comes once in a blue moon, so the shirts have resold on StockX in droves. Though it was released in just one color, this t-shirt has resold on StockX over 4,800 times at an average resale value of over $600 USD. With such a high resale value, it makes sense that this t-shirt hasn’t sold as many units as some of its other box logo brethren of a lower value. With that being said, it’s hard not to make the case that this t-shirt was, for cultural and historical purposes, the best Supreme piece released in 2020.

 

Supreme Shop T-shirt

Supreme Shop T-shirt

Supreme released a lot of t-shirts in 2020, more than seventy. Most of those t-shirts featured some niche reference or kitschy Supreme logo, making them slightly more specialized to their fans’ different tastes. But now and then, they’ll drop a t-shirt that features little more than the word “Supreme” in a new font that people go bananas for. That’s what happened with the Supreme Shop T-shirt, which dropped alongside the Tupac Hologram T-shirt in SS20 Week 1. The t-shirt is reminiscent of Supreme’s popular Classic Logo, but without the accent mark and features the brand’s New York location phone number underneath the logo. This t-shirt has been remarkably popular for its simplicity, reselling more than 4,000 times in 2020.

 

Supreme Glow In The Dark Zippo

Supreme Glow In The Dark Zippo

Most accessories are released in only one colorway, making it difficult for them to compete with pieces like hoodies and t-shirts that can drop in up to eight colors. We don’t blame you if you’ve been reading this list and wondering where all of the Supreme accessories are, but never fear, we’ve got some for you here. This year’s best-selling Supreme accessory is the Glow In The Dark Zippo lighter that dropped as a part of the brand’s SS20 Week 1 release. This lighter has been on fire this year, reselling more than 3,000 times on StockX. If you’ve been looking for a new lighter, this may be the one for you, and at a resale price of just $20 USD more than retail, it’s still not an outrageous cop.

 

Supreme Nalgene Bottle

Supreme Nalgene 32 oz. Bottle

The reusable Supreme water vessel is the biggest eco-friendly flex on the planet, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody that the brand’s Nalgene water bottles have resold by the thousands in the ten months since its release. Two colorways were dropped featuring the same clear water bottle, with different two different colored sleeves. The red colorway has outsold the black colorway by a few hundred units, and their sales together are around 2,500 water bottles. For anyone trying to stop using disposable water bottles and maybe get their clout game up a little bit, the Supreme Nalgene is a secret we’re willing to share.

 

Supreme Pat McGrath Lipstick

Supreme Pat McGrath Labs Lipstick Red

Supreme made lipstick in 2020, and it was one of the brand’s most popular items of the year. The lipstick’s popularity came as a huge shock to the world of streetwear, especially considering the brand’s traditional male demographic. But whoever was buying it, this lipstick was hot like fire in 2020. As if the craze wasn’t enough after its initial release, Supreme restocked the lipstick during the same week that they released their Cross Box Logo T-shirts, driving resale numbers even higher. The Supreme Pat McGrath Labs Lipstick has resold on StockX over 2,500 times, though the most recent restock brought the price crashing down by nearly $50 USD.

 

Supreme The North Face Cargo Collection

Supreme The North Face Cargo Jacket

Supreme and The North Face collaborated four times in 2020, delivering two collections in both SS20 and FW20. With their second collaborative release of SS20, Supreme and The North Face dropped a Cargo themed collection featuring a brand new TNF silhouette created exclusively for the streetwear brand. These Cargo Jackets have resold over 2,800 times on StockX, making them the best-selling The North Face Jackets of the year. That’s quite a feat for a capsule that doesn’t include a mountain jacket. If you’re looking to grab a new Supreme x The North Face Jacket but want something unique, this is the one for you.

 

Supreme Lawn Chair

Supreme Lawn Chair

Supreme added to their seating catalog several times in 2020, releasing a folding chair, lawn chair, and collaborative sofa with Kartell. But one of those seating arrangements was greater than the others, the Supreme Lawn Chair. Although not one of the best-selling Supreme items in 2020 by volume, it still deserves some shine. This chair is one of the most fun and functional Supreme accessories to release this year, and if any item deserves an honorable mention, it’s this one. Flexing on your friends has never been more lighthearted than when you bust out the Supreme Lawn chair for a day at the beach or marshmallows by the fire. If you’re looking for a fun Supreme accessory you’ll actually get a lot of use out of, this is it.

 

Supreme Reversible Color Block Fleece

Supreme Reversible Colorblocked Fleece Jacket

Supreme releases a couple of fleeces every year, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen one better than the Reversible Colorblocked Fleece Jacket. Featuring design inspiration from the late Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, this jacket is a Supreme-branded art piece. What’s even better is that both colorways are equally good, meaning you can’t go wrong no matter your taste. This jacket has been resold on StockX over 1,200 times between both its colorways, a number high enough to warrant an honorable mention.

 

Supreme Nike

Supreme Nike Jewel Crewneck

Supreme and Nike usually put out bangers, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that they did it again in 2020. The two brands shook things up this year, collaborating just once during FW20. The lack of an SS20 collection was made up by the quality of Supreme and Nike’s FW20 collaboration featuring Jewel accents and details. The Supreme Nike Jewel Crewneck was the actual crown jewel of the collection, reselling over 2,000 times across all three colorways. This crewneck was nearly a top-10 bestseller but ended up needing an honorable mention spot. Never mind that, though, this crewneck is as hot as it gets, and if you’re looking to up your jewelry game, we’ve got an alternative proposition for you.
