Spike Lee & Supreme Dropping 40 Acres & A Mule Capsule

Hate it or love it, Supreme is always good for a clutch collaboration. The ubiquitous streetwear brand has linked with Spike Lee to create a capsule collection with the renowned director’s 40 Acres & A Mule production company. Supreme’s site mentions just how important the company has been in Lee realizing his creative vision since he established it nearly 50 years ago. “In 1979, Lee and fellow filmmaker Monty Ross established a production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks. 40 Acres has produced all of Lee’s documentary and feature films, as well as commercials and music videos – including his late-1980s Air Jordan ads and Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power” promo,” Supreme writes. “Throughout the 1990s, 40 Acres expanded to include a record label and apparel production.”

The Brooklyn-bred director and screenwriter skyrocketed to fame after the release of his self-funded, black and white classic film She’s Gotta Have It. The flick also happened to feature Lee himself portraying the now iconic Mars Blackmon character, which Nike soon enough co-opted for the famed Air Jordan campaign, considering he wore a pair of Air Jordan 1s in the film. Lee discussed how it went down in a sit-down interview (which also features plenty of dope insight into his decades of work) released by Supreme (see below). But, there are no Air Jordan callbacks in this Supreme drop. Instead, Lee’s critically acclaimed Malcolm X and Clockers make their way into the mix. The collab consists of an ill black Varsity jacket, a couple of tees, a Clockers 6-panel hat, and a baseball jersey. While one tee is attuned to Malcolm X, the other features a photo of Lee while he’s in director mode. The collection will be available on Thursday, April 24, at the usual 11 a.m. ET online drop time and in stores. Asian shops receive their product the next day. Check out detailed photos of the entire collection below.
