The Supreme MLK Hooded Sweatshirt was released as part of the streetwear giant’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection. The brand has never shied away from making political statements or react to what is going on with the current fairs of the United States. The sweatshirt was released soon after the 50th anniversary of the passing of the reverend. To this date his battle lives on and many will say all the things that he was fighting for is has not gotten better in the current world we live in. Things like equality amongst all, workers rights, segregation and much more are all still topics of the 24/7 news cycle we now live in. Fifty plus years after his passing his words and teachings are as relevant as they ever have been. Supreme decided to focus on the man and two of his most well known speeches. Using their popular cotton fleece hooded sweatshirt as the base, the brand kept it simple. Only small branding on the hood was added, letting the imagery make major impact. Printed onto the white sweatshirt in red we see images of the man. Along with his pictures we see the title of those speeches, “I Have a Dream” and “We Shall Overcome”. The brand were given by the Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr to use his image and words. Released on April 12th, 2018, it was no surprise that the Supreme MLK Hooded Sweatshirt sold out quickly. A way to remember the man and his fight for equality. If you need this in your closet you can grab it now on the marketplace.
