Supreme releases two collections each year. James Jebbia was quoted in saying that anything that Supreme releases will never be classified as "limited," but notes that they make short runs of their products because they "don't want to get stuck with stuff nobody wants." Supreme stocks its own clothing label, as well as other skateboard brands such as Vans, Nike SB, Spitfire Wheels, and Thrasher. The additional locations emulate the original Lafayette Street store's design.

Other locations include Paris, which opened in 2016, London, which opened in September 2011, Tokyo ( Harajuku, Daikanyama and Shibuya), Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka. In 2004, a second location was opened on North Fairfax Ave in Los Angeles, California, which is nearly double the size of the original New York City store. Jebbia explained that he opened Supreme in lower Manhattan because at the time there was nowhere else to buy skate products in the area. This store had its core group of skaters who served as its team in 1994, which included late actors Justin Pierce and Harold Hunter, and the first employees were extras from the Larry Clark film Kids. It was designed with skaters in mind with a unique design for the store layout: by arranging the clothes around the perimeter of the store, a large central space permitted skaters with backpacks to skate into the store. The first Supreme store opened in an old office space on Lafayette Street in Lower Manhattan in April 1994. The brand was founded by James Jebbia in 1994. VF Corporation, a US-based apparel and footwear company, bought Supreme for $2.1b in December 2020. The Supreme brand is popular in China, Japan, Europe, Canada, and the US. The red box logo with "Supreme" in white Futura Heavy Oblique is thought to be largely based on Barbara Kruger's art. The company makes skateboards in addition to clothing and accessories. The brand aims to appeal to streetwear culture in general as well as the skateboarding and hip hop scenes specifically. Supreme (səˈpriːm) is an American clothing and skateboarding lifestyle brand established in New York City in April 1994.
