Supreme x Louis Vuitton Rumored to Reprise Their 2017 Collaboration
Heads up, we may be getting another Supreme x Louis Vuitton collaboration soon. Emphasis on “may” — nothing’s set in stone just yet.
The case for another round of Supreme x Louis Vuitton grows stronger by the day, with recent whispers hinting at a Fall/Winter 2022 release date for the latest installment of the collaboration.
Sources also speculate part two of the streetwear-luxury linkup will drop on Louis Vuitton’s webstore and at select Supreme physical stores (Supreme Chicago, maybe? Hmm.)
On March 11, leading sneaker leaker PY_RATES trumpeted that a second Supreme x Louis Vuitton collaboration is “coming soon.”
Supreme x Louis Vuitton 2.0 Coming Soon🕊️

Backed by a follow from the late Virgil Abloh himself, PY_RATES is one of the more trustworthy gossip mills.
Who knows, perhaps they even got a little earworm from the LV creative director, considering his expected creative involvement in the forthcoming Supreme x Louis Vuitton collaboration.
After all, the page was the first to announce Off-White™’s Nike Dunk Low “The 50” months ahead of Abloh’s announcement.
In response, Abloh dismissed PY_RATES’ horrid colorway mock-ups but didn’t deny the outrageous release of 50 dunks (‘cuz that part was accurate).
Anyways, PY_RATES didn’t expound on details about Supreme x Louis Vuitton 2.0 but the news was swiftly picked up by other leakers across social media.
The news, if true, raises many questions. The biggest one, of course, is: “Was the new collab ever under Virgil Abloh’s supervision?”
The landmark Supreme x Louis Vuitton collection in 2017 was masterminded by Abloh peer Kim Jones, who spearheaded Louis Vuitton’s menswear prior to Abloh’s appointment.
But could Abloh really make more Supreme/Vuitton magic happen?
Well, it’s not so far-fetched to think, given how prolific the late creative director was. The man basically redefined the word “collaboration,” after all.
While I pray Py Rates’ “coming soon” means a 2022 release, who knows when (and even if) we’ll see the Supreme x Louis Vuitton sequel.
It’s not hard to imagine that a new collab between the two being even more legendary than the first, with Supreme back in its 2014 bag and Abloh’s impact lingering at LV.
Plus, Supreme x Burberry brought back release brawls and block-by-block lines. Can you imagine the madness that a new LV Bogo tee would bring?
