Supreme x S&M BMX Dirt Bike: Release, Price Information Before Upcoming Drop
Those who follow Supreme have become accustomed to their unexpected drops over the years. Ranging from custom bricks to Oreos, the brand has continued to give fans a range of new products throughout the years. On Thursday, Supreme will yet again do just that when they release their new 1995 BMX Dirtbike, which is a new collaboration with S&M Bikes.
On Tuesday, the James Jebbia-created company shared both a new image and a new video of the bike on their official Instagram account leading up to the drop. In the video, a man can be seen riding it down a city street as he jumps curbs and ultimately pops it on top of a police car. The accompanying caption only reads "Supreme®/S&M™ 1995 BMX Dirtbike. 05/07/2020," as seen below.
A follow-up image posted to their Instagram gave fans more details about the specific characteristics of the new BMX bike, as well as highlighted the Supreme logo that adorns all of their products. With 20" wheels and an alloy S&M steel frame, the design also features "original S&M construction and geometry." Furthermore, the caption added that the bike weighs 30 lbs. and was made in the U.S. exclusively for Supreme. As for the cost, it will retail for $1,898.
As for S&M Bikes, they also shared a bit about what led up to Thursday's new release on their own social media. In February, co-founder Chris “Mad Dog” Moeller revealed that Supreme had approached them about doing a 2020 collab in June 2019. Even though they had never worked on a complete build in-house, they immediately began designing what would ultimately become the Supreme®/S&M™ 1995 BMX Dirtbike.
Continuing, he added that he saw the new collaboration as "a great way to bring new people into our sport and possibly shed some light on our history."
Aside from the new release, Supreme has also kept fans' interest in recent months in other ways. In April, the New York brand partnered with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami in order to design and release a new t-shirt. Created as a way to raise money for a COVID-19 relief fund, 100% of the money that was raised from the sale benefited HELP USA, an organization that has been working to "support youth and families facing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic."
The new Supreme®/S&M™ 1995 BMX Dirtbike will be available for purchase on Thursday through their website. At this time, the specific time remains unknown, but in the past new items have become available at 11 a.m.
