SUPREME X AKIRA FW17 COLLECITON

The SUPREME X AKIRA FW17 COLLECTION celebrates the iconic manga series, and it drops this week.

Akira began life in the ’80s as a sprawling comic series set in post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo, dealing with everything from capitalist corruption to destructive psychic powers via laser satellites and some extremely cool future motorbikes. Many in the West are more familiar with the 1988 anime film version that shortened the storyline considerably, but Supreme have wisely chosen to use the iconic artwork of the original comics for their new range of collaborative apparel. The collection includes fishtail parkas, work jackets, graphic tees and hoodies, coveralls, hats, soccer tops, skateboard decks, accessories and more, all embellished with the distinctive and unsettling artwork of Akira creator Katsuhiro Otomo (hold tight the famous explosion image printed on the back of the Work Jacket). The vivid colour palette incorporates black, white, deep red, lime green and teal to tie in with the colours of Neo-Tokyo, while the silhouettes themselves stay true to Supreme’s streetwear aesthetic.

The SUPREME X AKIRA FW17 COLLECTION is set to drop this THURSDAY 2 NOVEMBER in store and online at 11:00AM. Take a look at every item from the new range below, and hit the banner to shop the drop once it goes live.
