Customers brawl over Supreme merchandise in NYC

ADVERTISEMENT

As West Hollywood braces for the opening of Supreme, customers waiting in line for new items from the streetwear brand’s collaboration with Burberry erupted into a brawl Thursday in New York City.

The fight happened at Burberry’s Manhattan location as the luxury store debuted its Burberry x Supreme Spring 2022 collection.

As reported by the Daily Mail:

Part of the collection is dropping only in-store, making them prime for resale online, selling for up to six times its original price on popular marketplaces like StockX and Grailed or even Instagram.

That includes items like the Supreme Burberry Leather Collar Trench, which originally retailed for $998 but is reselling online for $2,039, the Supreme Burberry Icon Silk Pajama Shirt, whose store price was $198 but sold out fast and is now online for a whopping $1,390 and the Supreme Burberry Box Logo Tee, reasonably sold in stored for $54 but selling online for $300.

To the previous commenter, If so why wasn’t that case case in this instance in NYC if Burberry a more high end store now collaborates with a high end streetwear to issue a ticket system? This is a place where there is merchandise that people are there to buy to mark up the price to sell online or the illegal market just like Melrose Ave where an employee who tried to intervene coming into work with the chaos outside got shot to death point blank by a Glock by a 16 Year Old Hispanic gang member. Now employees run scared… Read more »

WeHo sheriffs? I’ve lived here 12 years and have NEVER found them of use either in observation or on personal matters. They flout the rules of the road and are rude. And under their thug leader Villanueva it’s only gotten worse. Cut their budget and put that money to build a fund toward starting our own department.

Just make a law that people can’t line up. Stores, concert venues have to provide tickets for their place in line. Otherwise, fire hoses great for dispersing crowds

Supreme already switched to a ticket system years ago.

They have to register on line and are told what time to be there. They shouldn’t allow them on property early.

Seems like lots of races were present when the NYC brawl took place. How is it racist to want a safe quiet neighborhood? The store is clearly a known and proven den of trouble. But the beautiful thing is that it is an example where all peoples, all races can come and brawl together.

You guys are almost racial profiling with your dislike of the Supreme line I’m gay and have always said there is nothing worse than gay people for discrimination and bias under the cloak of “safety” shameful. I wish I could change my orientation like I can my

“almost racial profiling with your dislike for the Supreme line. I’m gay and have always said there is nothing worse than gay people for discrimination and bias under the cloak of ‘safety’ shameful”. It wouldn’t matter if we were discussing little green men from Mars and their business exploits. The problem is lack of ethics and ethical behavior top to bottom irrespective of one’s designation.

I think people are discriminating against people that act like animals. The color of their skin does not matter in the least bit (I watched two seconds of this video and can’t make out what color any of them are..and who cares). What matters is how they behave. Fist fighting over clothing is ridiculous behavior for an adult. You would expect a group of 4 years olds to act this way. So ridiculous.

I agree. The gays of West Hollywood are the most racist people I’ve encountered. Also, we need to fully defund the sheriffs. They have systematically targeted black, brown, indigenous, trans and non binary people. We need more safety ambassadors.

And the fact people are against supreme “ruining” the neighborhood shows their racism. We need more Cookies stores and less racist gays in the neighborhood.

You know I read the comments on this site and think the same thing you had the courage to express. I have never read such angry, mean and meaningless comments. The comments are why heterosexual people who are not too gay friendly call gays “bitchy”. I mean man, get a life. Now they are re litigating the Ed Buck case. Most of the negative comments abojut Ed Buck always brought up his association with the Democratic party. You should all turn off all Fox programming. Mean. and not very empathic .What more do you people want? You up ended the… Read more »

This is really presumptuous. I’m not a fan of Supreme because I feel the white owners take advantage of and exploit BIPOC youth. Nevertheless, they have every right to open their shop. You’re absolutely right about gay people and their discrimination, but I’ve found that it’s aimed at other gays that don’t want to do what the queer gatekeepers tell them to do. The problems (drug use, addictions of various types, shaming others) come from within.

The experiences the residents and business community on Fairfax when Supreme opened up should be a perfect example of the nightmares they had to deal with!!

Customers right from Cookies or an upcoming Emerald City dispensary to Supreme, would could go wrong, especially with Gascon as DA.

Again you try to bring race into it. That has zero to do with adults acting like fools. And fools come in all colors. And we don’t want fools acting this way in our neighborhood. Stop race baiting.

Where did I say blacks (african American)? I never said anything about a race. It’s your idiotic liberal snowflake ideology that makes everyone a racist except you, except you are indeed the racist.
