The best part of Supreme's summer collection is that it contains charitable t-shirts — an initative that is started by the streetwear brand to help families in need. In particular, a portion of the proceeds of each tee from the capsule will go toward supporting families that are impacted and broken up by Trump's 'Zero-Tolerance' immigration policy.
While the charitable t-shirts themselves have a casual and graphic-rich aesthetic, Supreme is no stranger to making political stances and protesting unjust policies. The streetwear label has taken numerous stands against the political rule in the United States with suggestive keychains during Trump's initiation as president, as well as some strongly potent Martin Luther King Jr.-themed apparel.
The charitable t-shirts are a vehicle in protecting families and loved ones from direct impact.
