Supreme works in collaboration with Santa Cruz to unveil a new iteration of the 'Chameleon bike' model. The reworked mountain bike made its debut online on Supreme's Instagram account. The highlighting detail is the bright Supreme branding accent that adorns the frames.
Notably, the frame structure is also painted in the label's signature vibrant red color. The durable tires are drawn from Maxxis, which also boast branding accents in the form of bright yellow text to contrast the black tire base. The rest of the collaborative mountain bike's foundation, including the gears, pedals, handles, brakes, seat, and wiring are all completed in a black tonal hue to allow the bright red frames and branding to stand out.
