Marty Supreme shirt

My closet isn’t exactly a runway, more like a chaotic jumble of things I’ve collected over the years. But there’s one item that always seems to find its way to the front, almost like it’s magnetically drawn there. It’s my Marty Supreme shirt, a simple black tee with a splash of color that feels like a secret handshake with the universe. I remember the day I got it, a sweltering July afternoon in the city, the air thick with humidity and the buzz of a thousand conversations. I’d been saving up for weeks, envisioning the moment I finally held it, a small victory in the grand scheme of life.

The feeling of finally wearing it was odd, a mix of excitement and quiet satisfaction. It wasn’t just a piece of fabric; it felt like a statement, a reflection of my personal aesthetic. The little logo, a graphic design I’ve always appreciated, felt like a badge of honor, a silent nod to a shared understanding. I wear it when I’m feeling down, a reminder that it’s okay to feel comfortable and confident, even if I’m not feeling my best.

I’ve worn that shirt to concerts, to coffee shops where I met interesting people, to picnics in parks where I spent hours reading, and even on countless lazy Sundays spent sprawled on the couch. It’s been through countless washes, lost a little bit of its original sheen, and the seams are starting to show a little bit of wear, but that only adds to its charm, its story. There’s a tiny stain, a splash of coffee from a clumsy morning, a constant, small reminder of a rushed breakfast. My older sister, always the pragmatic one, used to gently rib me about it. “Seriously, another day, the same shirt?” she’d tease, but I knew she secretly understood. She admired my collection of old comic books, and I know that she always appreciated my sense of style. In truth, I believe my simple tee makes a simple statement, even though it sometimes seems too silly to admit to.
