After teasing an upcoming release on Instagram, this morning Supreme officially announced their upcoming collaboration with the late, great, Michael Jackson. Initially previewed in Grind's SS17 editorial, the full collection features a series of T-shirts, hoodies, work shirt and decks all featuring an iconic image of the King of Pop.

Rather than focus on the legal controversies and unfortunate circumstances prior to his death, Supreme instead chose to highlight the King of Pop during his glory years. The image, which shows a Thriller era Michael sporting the his award winning smile, brings us back to a time when Michael was widely recognized as one of the best performers in history, and whose legacy will live on forever.

Politics aside, we all know the collection will sell out in a matter of minutes when it becomes available Thursday (5/25) in the U.S. and Europe and Saturday (5/27) in Japan, so for those of you unable (or simply uninterested) to wait in line, keep posted to our hype section where the collection will inevitably end up.
