Closing out a successful Winter ‘23 season, Supreme is tapping one familiar face and another “new kid on the block” for its final collaborations of the year, accompanied by a succinct selection of in-house apparel.
Rumblings of a spotlight-stealing Corteiz collaboration date back to August this year, when founder of the London Streetwear brand Clint starred as model in THEM magazine’s photoshoot for Supreme’ Fall/ Winter ‘23 collection. Fast-forward to earlier this week and in the Suburban streets of Shepard’s Bush, London, a striking red billboard appeared to officially announce a partnership between Corteiz and Supreme.
Corteiz built its brand by following the ”Supreme formula” to a tee - slapping recognisable graphics on wardrobe staples that when seeded to the right celebs and produced in limited quantities, are like gold dust to the modern streetwear enjoyer.

The collaboration is centred around one graphic tee and coordinating hoodie displaying Corteiz’s signature Alcatraz motif, updated to read “Supreme Rules the World.” Only available in black, expect the t-shirt to sell out promptly, with the hoodie releasing exclusively at a Corteiz pop-up later this week.
Supreme and Timberland are icons of the East Coast and have partnered up regularly since 2006. A mainstay of NYC street culture especially - the latest capsule perfectly captures the industrial spirit of the Big Apple by fusing the same diamond plate design found throughout the world of construction onto three pairs of 6” Boots.
The workwear theme continues with the heavy mock-neck longsleeve tee and shirt that displays a classic plaid flannel design on the torso, set against a tonal houndstooth design covering the back and arms.
Gore-Tex Windstopper face masks show a reflective Supreme logo, where different variations of Supreme branding feature on a revitalised lineup of winter hats.
This isn’t your grandma’s shaggy knit sweater - as Supreme has tackled the iconic preppy staple the only way it knows how, by stitching a tonal wordmark front and centre and going heavy on the hand-brushing to create a lived-in feel to the purple, lime, black and brown jumpers.
Although too big to qualify as a stocking filler, the Ride Shadowban snowboards are the ideal present for winter sport enthusiasts and Supreme-paraphernalia collectors alike. They are available in three different sizes and all display custom artwork on the underside.

The final release of Supreme Fall Winter 2023 goes live this Thursday at 11:00 am EST on Supreme.com and the brand’s physical locations across the globe.

The Corteiz t-shirt will only be available online at Supreme, with the hoodie releasing at a Corteiz pop-up in London this Thursday - location TBA.
