Supreme is releasing a capsule with Spike Lee’s 40 Acres and a Mule production company that’s focused on his two films Malcolm X and Clockers. The company announced the collaboration today (Apr. 22) with a short video featuring the legendary director reflecting on his past successes, along with a series of photos of all of the pieces that are set to drop.
In its totality, the capsule collection features a varsity jacket, a baseball jersey, a six-panel hat, and T-shirts inspired by Lee’s two films.
The collection hits stores and will be available online on April 24. It’ll also launch in Asia on April 26.
Take a look at the pieces up above.
Lee has been very busy. In addition to the Supreme collab, the director is gearing up for the release of his new film Highest 2 Lowest, an upcoming crime thriller that’s being described as a reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 Japanese flick, High and Low.
In a recent interview on the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Lee reflected on working with Denzel Washington on the movie and throughout his lengthy career.
‘It’s a blessing… TIme flies,” said Lee. “I’m just blessed to work with one of the greatest actors ever.”
Lee also spoke on what Washington’s role in the upcoming film will be. “Denzel, in this film, he plays a music mogul known as having the best ears in the business and there’s a kidnapping… [it’s] action-packed, a nail biter, funny AF.”
Rapper ASAP Rocky is also set to appear in Lee’s new film. Lee also opened up about his involvement. “ASAP, man, he fire,” Lee said. “I mean, there’s some scenes where him and [Denzel are] head to head, he ain’t backing up. Like, ‘I’m here too.’ So I’m very, very happy with the way the film turned out and looking forward to sharing it with the world.”
