Key Points
- Supreme releases eight graphic tees June 25, with an Asia drop June 27.
- Designs pull from Lil B, Sean Cliver, Myles Underwood, and "Paris Is Burning."
- The "Based" tee reads "WHY HATE? LIL B FOR SUPREME," tributing the rapper.
- The "Supper" tee reworks Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" with Supreme branding.
Supreme's loudest collaborations get the headlines, but the graphic tee is where the brand actually keeps its diary. The Summer 2026 batch — eight shirts dropping June 25, with the Asia release following June 27 — is a clean read of the references Supreme is mining this season, and it spans skate history, internet rap, ballroom culture, and the Renaissance in a single pull.
The eight
The anchors are the loudest. The "Based" tee tributes Bay Area cult figure Lil B with text reading "WHY HATE? LIL B FOR SUPREME," and the "Leash" tee carries artwork by legendary skate-deck illustrator Sean Cliver — a cartoon dog in studded bondage gear, exactly the kind of off-color skate graphic Supreme was built on. Myles Underwood's "FML" tee stacks a central cross, stars, and bullet motifs; the "Supper" tee reworks Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" around the box logo. Rounding out the run are the "Skunk" (two pastel skunks forming a heart), "Speed," "Wish," and a "Paris Is Burning" tee nodding to the 1990 ballroom documentary.

Why the tee still matters
Priced like a standard Supreme graphic tee, it is the brand's cheapest entry point and its most honest one. A collaboration borrows another brand's equity; a tee is Supreme deciding, on its own, that Lil B and Jennie Livingston's Paris Is Burning belong in the same drop as a da Vinci appropriation. Earlier this season the brand leaned on co-signs like its MM6 Maison Margiela collection; the Summer tees go back to the house's own graphic vocabulary, where the curation is the product.
The drop
The tees release online at supreme.com and at Supreme's flagship stores on June 25, with Japan, Korea, and China following two days later. As with every Supreme tee drop, the resale market will sort the eight into hits and leftovers within the hour — and the Lil B and Sean Cliver graphics are the ones to watch.
