The Supreme AKIRA Syringe Tee Black is a Black cotton jersey t-shirt with short sleeves. It has screen-printed artwork on the front and reverse in white. Supreme branding adorns the front left chest in white block letter text. The reverse features a tripled panel from the manga series Akira, in which Kaneda administers Tetsuo an injection. Supreme’s red box logo appears on the inner collar tag.
Part of the mystique that skateboarding and lifestyle brand Supreme has cultivated is due to its ability to march to the beat of its drum, immortalizing esoteric or forgotten references on its t-shirts. Akira is a beloved work of manga and cinema, and the series’ dystopian setting and biker gang characters synergize with Supreme’s brand ethos.
Our experts feel that the Syringe Tee's best feature is its front and back graphics, which are not a common printing technique for Supreme. The Supreme AKIRA Syringe Tee Black was released on November 2, 2017, and retailed for $48.
