Supreme and Stone Island work in collaboration on a new collection designed for the Spring/Summer 2022 season. The two forces are no strangers to one another, having worked together before. This time, the two deliver an expansive range that includes a plethora of staple designs and outerwear options.
The exclusive pieces are ready for any adventure with water-resistant resin-coated materials on a nylon material, which can be seen on the Reversible Faux Fur Parka and the Reactive Ice Camo Ripstop Jacket -- this is notably heat-sensitive. Those who want a more muted option can opt for the Cordura shell jacket that has water-resistant sensibilities and is available in the tonal options of either black or a bright yellow.
