The Crow and Supreme work in collaboration on a Fall 2021 capsule full of dark supernatural themes. As the temperature begins to drop, the duo spotlight scenes from James O'Barr's dark fantasy comic book series. The Crow was written and illustrated by O'Barr.
The narrative takes place in Detroit, where the artist is originally from. It follows a young couple, Eric and Shelly. The two are brutally murdered by a street gang and Eric is resurrected one year later by a mystical crow. He then embarks on a journey of seeking revenge and reflecting on the loss of Shelly. The fashion designs reflect the dark theme with romantic notes as well, capturing the energy of the series through streetwear silhouettes.
