As the year was coming to an end Supreme continued to drop pieces that can easily become timeless. That list includes the Supreme Marvin Gaye Tee. The tee pays homage to the acclaimed Marvin Gaye. The musician’s career blossomed and grew as he lived in Detroit and signed his first major deal. His career grew as he became known for his soulful music, song writing and also working as a session musician. With over a decade under his belt he wanted to push himself and envelope even more, the result of this was the album titled “What’s Going On”. The album took the point of view of a Vietnam veteran returning home. The lyrics discussed themes around drugs, injustice and of course war. The album was critically acclaimed for its themes, unique song cycle and strength from beginning to end. Supreme acknowledges one of the most influential albums ever by showcasing the album art on their classic cotton tee. The formula was simple, they started with one of their red tees and printed the cover image of Gaye onto the chest. The original album art is seen in its original, full color glory. They didn’t add or modify the image at all, adding a small black and white box logo onto the rear neckline. Part of the week 17 drops on December 13th, 2018, all eight colorways sold out both online and in-store. If you want to show your love for one of the greats you can cop the Supreme Marvin Gaye Tee now in all sizes and colors on the marketplace.
