Graphics are inspired by the iconic fighting game and motocross.

The Tekken saga holds the Guinness World Record for longest running, cohesive storyline in a video game (not just fighting games), and Supreme’s apparel will tap into the biggest fans’ sentimentality.
Characters and motifs from the franchise are spread throughout a nylon bomber jacket, long puffer parka, knit sweaters, T-shirts, and sweatshirts. Some are one-offs with a main characters including Devil Kazuya, Kunimitsu, and King. Others are more graphic-heavy with all-over character collages. A skateboard deck rounds out the Tekken pieces with a reimagined logo and character roster graphic.
