Supreme Week 8 Puts Rita Ackermann’s Artwork on Work Jackets and Soccer Kits for Japan on October 10

Supreme’s Week 8 arrives in Japan on Saturday, October 10, led by Rita Ackermann artwork and a run of shearling, down and wool built for the cold months.

Saturday, October 10 is the day Supreme puts its Week 8 lineup on sale in Japan, two days after the United States and Europe receive the same pieces on Thursday, October 8. Japanese list count seventeen products. The headline belongs to the artwork of Rita Ackermann, which covers a hooded work jacket, a soccer jersey, a pair of soccer shorts and double-knee painter pants. Around her sit, among other pieces, a shearling-lined bomber, a micro down pullover, a quilted flannel snap shirt, a wool sweater knitted with wolves, a sequined top, three pieces of headwear, a Bluetooth speaker and a skateboard deck.

Signal. What happened: Supreme’s Week 8 Fall/Winter 2026 lineup is set for its Japan release, led by artwork from Rita Ackermann. Exact object: seventeen products by Japanese listings and sixteen by the U.S. droplist, with the Supreme/Rita Ackermann Hooded Work Jacket, Soccer Jersey, Soccer Short and Double Knee Painter Pant at the center. When and where: Saturday, October 10, 2026, at Supreme’s stores in Harajuku, Shibuya, Daikanyama, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka and on Supreme’s Japan online store from about 11:00 a.m., after the U.S. and European release on Thursday, October 8. Source: Supreme’s own Fall/Winter 2026 previews and Japan market release notices. Why it matters: a painter represented by Hauser & Wirth appears on core Supreme outerwear and sportswear, a pairing Supreme also ran in fall/winter 2019.

The counts differ by a single product. The U.S. droplist for Thursday lists sixteen and leaves out the JBL Go 5 speaker, which Japanese listings place in Week 8 but which also appeared in Week 7 listings in red, so its Week 8 colorways are unconfirmed. Japanese listings also still mark the week’s collaboration section as pending, which means the list can change before Saturday. Everything below reflects what stood confirmed as of October 6.

By category, the Japanese list breaks down into three jackets, one shirt, three tops and sweaters, two sweatshirts, three pairs of pants or shorts, three pieces of headwear, and two accessory and skate items. On the colorway side, the U.S. droplist carries 26 colorway entries across its sixteen products, and two items account for nine of them: the Faux Shearling Lined Bomber Jacket with four and the Micro Down Half Zip Hooded Pullover with five.

Ackermann was born in Budapest in 1968, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts there and moved to New York in 1992, graduating from the New York Studio School in 1993. Her paintings sit between figure and abstraction, built from gestural marks she has described as coming out of dance. Her work was part of the 2008 Whitney Biennial and sits in public collections that include the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and her 2024 show Splits was staged at Hauser & Wirth New York. Her exhibition history with the gallery also includes the Chalkboard Paintings, a series begun in 2014 and shown at Hauser & Wirth Zürich in 2015, and Turning Air Blue, a 2017 show at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. Supreme’s listings credit only “original artwork by Rita Ackermann” and do not say which paintings or series the printed graphics are drawn from, so that detail is not confirmed.

The Hooded Work Jacket is cut from cotton canvas with a quilted, insulated lining, a full zip, a pouch pocket at the lower front, an interior chest pocket and knit rib cuffs and hem. Ackermann’s artwork is printed on the lower front and across the back, and the jacket is listed in grey and tan. The Double Knee Painter Pant takes the same canvas-and-artwork approach, also in grey and tan.

The soccer pieces carry the artwork into sportswear. The Soccer Jersey is a polyester shirt with printed artwork, mesh panels and a woven logo patch, listed in white, and it is the one Week 8 item with a confirmed Japanese price: ¥26,400. The Soccer Short, in black, completes the set.

Supreme has printed her work before. Fall/winter 2019 brought a rayon short-sleeve shirt with her artwork, which retailed at $148 in the United States, £138 in the United Kingdom and ¥22,680 in Japan, and her work also appeared on a skate deck titled Nose Bleed. This season the art-led clothing runs through two names, Ackermann and designer Masato Kawajo, whose work sits on a zip hoodie in this same week.

The Faux Shearling Lined Bomber Jacket is the week’s heaviest piece of outerwear. It uses cotton canvas outside, a faux shearling lining and insulation inside, a detachable hood and an embroidered logo across the back. Four colorways are listed: washed grey, red, black and brown.

The Micro Down Half Zip Hooded Pullover is the other cold-weather staple, a lightweight down pullover with a water-resistant polyester shell. Checkerboard patterning appears in two of its five listed colorways, red and white, alongside black, dark brown and light blue. A pullover with the same name was priced in Japan at ¥42,900 during Fall/Winter 2024 Week 10, though this season’s price has not been confirmed.

Two softer pieces fill out the layering. The Quilted Lined Flannel Snap Shirt is a pink cotton flannel check with a snap front and a quilted lining. The Wolves Sweater is wool with wolf faces knitted across the chest, down both sleeves and across the back, with an embroidered logo on the back, in white and black.

The F**k You Zip Up Hooded Sweatshirt carries Kawajo’s artwork, decorated with chain-stitch embroidery and rhinestone appliqué, in black. The Milan Sequin S/S Top is a black cotton jersey tee with a flocked logo and flocked graphics dressed up in beads, sequins and rhinestones.

At the plainer end of the list sit the Washed Logo Hooded Sweatshirt in black and the Washed Logo Sweatpant in cardinal, a washed-finish pair with the logo on each sleeve.

Headwear gets three pieces. The Metallic Bouclé Camp Cap weaves metallic thread through a textured bouclé fabric. The World Famous Box Logo New Era puts embroidered “World Famous” text around the box logo on a New Era cap. The Spike Beanie is a single-cuff knit with the logo set in sharpened, spiked lettering.

The week’s two objects sit outside clothing. The JBL Go 5 is a waterproof portable Bluetooth speaker with a rubber logo, about ten centimeters long. The Pills Skateboard is a deck covered edge to edge in pill-case graphics, with the box logo printed on the labels.

Only one Japanese price has been confirmed for the week: ¥26,400 for the Supreme/Rita Ackermann Soccer Jersey. U.S. prices were still listed as to be determined on October 6, and Japan market release notices say new prices will be added as they are confirmed.

For orientation, recent Japanese weeks give a range, with prices including tax. Week 6’s Nike football jersey was ¥24,200, its nylon hooded jacket ¥42,900, its hooded sweatshirt ¥27,500 and its base layer beanie ¥7,700. Week 7’s reversible quilted hooded jacket with Vanson Leathers was ¥92,400, the Ripstop BDU Shirt Jacket ¥33,000 and the Crucifixion Sweater ¥35,200. Week 3’s Repeat Jacquard Fleece Jacket was ¥35,200. These are earlier-week prices and not estimates for Week 8.

A few of those listings sit close to Week 8 categories. In the shirt and pants group, Week 6’s Quilted Lined Hooded Velvet Snap Shirt was ¥31,900 and its Mini Plaid Shirt ¥26,400, while its Work Pant was ¥23,100, its Nylon Cargo Pant ¥28,600 and its Paneled Sweatpant ¥25,300. In headwear, the Military Camp Cap and the Authorized Mesh Back 5-Panel were both ¥8,800. A sequin-trimmed top turned up in Week 3, when the Sequin Raglan L/S Top from a photographer collaboration was ¥26,400, and that week’s Studded Fair Isle Beanie was ¥14,300. None of these is the Week 8 version of anything, and the Week 8 prices may land above or below them.

Supreme’s Fall/Winter 2026 releases have run on Saturdays in Japan since August 22. The weeks since have brought a photographer collaboration with Larry Clark in Week 3, a revival of the Diamond Plate Timberland boot in Week 5, Nike apparel on September 26 in Week 6 and, on October 3, pieces made with Umbro and Vanson Leathers in Week 7. Week 8’s lineup is led by an artist’s artwork and layering pieces, with the collaboration section still pending.

Week 7 also overlaps with Week 8 in small ways. It listed an N-2B jacket, a ripstop BDU shirt jacket, a Crucifixion Sweater, a Slim Straight Selvedge Jean and the JBL Go 5 in red, plus a Painter Pant, which makes Ackermann’s double-knee version the second painter-style pant in as many weeks.

The full season, previewed in August, covers a wide range. On the clothing side it runs from a hooded leather jacket patched with box logo appliqués to shearling and leather pieces, an embroidered waterproof jacket, Scottish wool tailoring, athletic jerseys and Christmas-card knitwear. On the object side it includes a fully chromed scooter with a red leather seat, a branded mini ramp, a red mailbox and a large brown leather modular sofa. Week 8 sits at the wearable end of that range, with the objects cut down to a speaker and a skateboard deck.

A Japan-side tally on October 4 counted 183 Fall/Winter 2026 items still to come, though how that tally counts colorways is not specified.

Ownership has shifted several times. The Carlyle Group bought a stake of roughly 50 percent in 2017, VF Corporation acquired the brand for $2.1 billion in December 2020, and EssilorLuxottica bought it from VF in 2024 for $1.5 billion in cash. At the time of that last sale the brand ran a digital-first business and 17 stores across the U.S., Asia and Europe. Founder James Jebbia opened the first store on Lafayette Street in downtown Manhattan in April 1994.

Supreme’s Japanese operation is six stores: Harajuku, Shibuya, Daikanyama, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka. Daikanyama, Osaka and Fukuoka opened in 1998, four years after the original New York store. Harajuku followed in 2006 and Nagoya in 2008, and the Fukuoka store moved to a new address on November 30, 2019.

The Japanese calendar this season has been a run of consecutive Saturdays: August 22 for Week 1, September 5 for Week 3, September 26 for Week 6, October 3 for Week 7 and October 10 for Week 8. Timing leaves a gap between regions. Thursday’s drop opens at 11 a.m. Eastern, which is 4 p.m. in London, 5 p.m. in Central Europe and midnight as Friday begins in Japan. Japanese customers then wait until Saturday, when the stores and the online shop sell new product from around 11:00 a.m., which is 10 p.m. Friday in New York. This Saturday also opens a long weekend, since Sports Day falls on Monday, October 12.

Dover Street Market Ginza also carries Supreme, and Japan market rel notices flag a possible web lottery for entry on rel day, to be announced if one is held for Week 8. The same notices say U.S. and European sell-out times, added items and confirmed prices will be updated after Thursday’s release.
