The long-awaited Supreme x SpongeBob collaboration is releasing for Week 11 of the brand’s SS25 campaign, featuring everyone’s favourite animated sponge on apparel and accessories with added input from Jeff Hamilton and Italian cycling firm Castelli.
Supreme’s collaboration with SpongeBob is one of the more divisive projects to release this season, with some scoffing at the idea of associating such a mainstream children’s character with Supreme’s alt persona, while others appreciate the values of unseriousness shared between Supreme and the one ‘who lives in a pineapple under the sea’.
No matter where you stand on the Supreme x SpongeBob fence, the effort that has been put into the collection is undeniable.

First up is a satin-lined, cotton-twill jacket from the legendary Jeff Hamilton, who lends his expertise by imagining a mean-looking SpongeBob and Patrick duo as mascots for the “Supreme Race Team“ - placed alongside bold embroidered wordmarks and wavy taping that contrasts against the white or black bases.
The rest of Supreme’s SpongeBob collection comes to life across a number of pieces courtesy of Italian cycling apparel brand Castelli. Made in Castelli’s home country, the exclusive roundup of performance biking gear comprises singlets, caps and longsleeve jerseys, plus special socks and a full SpongeBob-face water bottle.
Supreme is also releasing a new piece made in collaboration with Jacob & Co. - where Supreme taps the jeweller’s playful design approach by hanging a duo of ruby-set 14ct gold “lucky dice” pendants from a matching 22” ball chain.
In-house highlights include the Patchwork Velour Shorts and Track Jacket, Studded Leather Jackets, the Open Knit Football Top and s/s Denim Painter Shirts.
