Product Description
The Supreme UGK 5-Panel Black is a Week 9 SS24 release from the Supreme x UGK collaboration capsule, one of the most well-received hip-hop tribute capsules in Supreme's SS24 season, honoring UGK, the Port Arthur, Texas duo of Bun B and Pimp C whose trunk music, Southern rap, and uncompromising lyrical content established them as one of the most respected and most deeply influential rap acts in American hip-hop history. UGK, active from 1987 until Pimp C's death in December 2007, created a body of work that defined Southern rap's aesthetic and emotional territory across albums including Too Hard to Swallow, Super Tight, Ridin' Dirty, and Underground Kingz, their sound influencing not only hip-hop but the entire trajectory of Southern music production and rap's engagement with Texas identity, car culture, and the specific world of Port Arthur and the greater Gulf Coast. The 5-Panel hat construction is Supreme's most recurring non-fitted cap format, the five panel crown producing a slightly different fit profile and a distinct look from the more structured six-panel camp cap, with Supreme's 5-Panel releases in collaboration contexts typically featuring embroidered graphics on the front panel that apply the collaborating artist or brand's visual identity to the hat's primary display surface. The construction, as confirmed by SupremeCommunity, is a wool blend 5-Panel hat with snap closure, with an embroidered graphic on the front and side and an embroidered logo on the back. The Black colorway provides the most neutral and most broadly wearable base for the UGK embroidered graphic application. Released April 11, 2024 at $48 alongside Royal and Dark Red colorways as part of Supreme SS24 Week 9, the same week as the UGK Hooded Sweatshirt, UGK Super Tight Tee, and UGK 5-Panel in all three colorways.
The Supreme UGK 5-Panel Black is the SS24 Week 9 wool blend 5-Panel for the Supreme collector and UGK devotee who wants the collaboration capsule's headwear piece with embroidered UGK graphic on front and side in the most neutral and most classically wearable black colorway from the three-colorway SS24 UGK 5-Panel range.
The Supreme UGK 5-Panel Black was released on April 11, 2024 with a retail price of $48.
