Melvins, originally from Montesano (Washington), was formed in 1983 by Buzz Osborne, Matt Lukin and Mike Dillard with the aim of evolving the grunge sound of the decade and blazing a new trail for later bands. Even Nirvana bassist Kris Novoselic once admitted that “every Seattle band of the late ’80s owes something to the Melvins”.

It’s no wonder that forty years later, Supreme has decided to pay homage to their legacy with their latest capsule collection, where logos, iconography and characters from the albums take over the exclusive selection of garments. This includes a BDU jacket, a polo shirt, a hoodie, several T-shirts and caps.

The collection will go on sale on 9 May via supreme.com and will also be available in the New York brand’s physical shops.
