Supreme x Aphex Twin Donkey Rhubarb L/S Tee "Black"
The Supreme x Aphex Twin Donkey Rhubarb Long Sleeve Tee in Black stands as a flawless intersection of underground electronic music heritage and New York streetwear prestige. Arriving as part of the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, this piece channels the enigmatic genius of Richard D. James into a wearable artifact that feels equal parts archival nostalgia and forward-thinking design. The collaboration between Supreme and Aphex Twin taps directly into the visual language of the iconic “Donkey Rhubarb” EP—a project that has mesmerised fans since its 1995 release with its surreal, distorted imagery and off-kilter charm. Here, that legacy is rendered in stark, gallery-worthy detail against a deep black cotton backdrop. Crafted from a substantial 100% cotton jersey, the long sleeve tee offers the robust, relaxed silhouette that Supreme devotees have come to expect. The fabric is pre-shrunk and midweight, striking the perfect balance between structured drape and all-day comfort, while the ribbed crew neck and cuffs maintain their shape wear after wear. The true centrepiece, however, is the double-sided graphic treatment, executed with a soft-hand screen print that avoids the heavy, plastic-like feel of lesser imprint techniques. On the chest, the left front features a compact, almost medallion-like version of the grinning donkey’s face—a distorted, mischievous snapshot lifted directly from the “Donkey Rhubarb” music video. The lines are crisp, the contrast stark, letting that warped grin float eerily on the black field. Turn the tee around, and the back panel erupts with the full, uncut visual narrative. The print spans the width of the shirt: a gridded composition of the same donkey, now multiplied in a bizarro-family portrait, surrounded by warped children’s television-esque characters and the Aphex Twin logo rendered in its familiar, typographic roughness. It’s a chaotic, collage-like feast that rewards close inspection, with subtle halftone patterns and slight registration shifts that mimic the lo-fi VHS source material. This is not a simple transfer—it’s a meticulously reproduced artwork that honours the original vision while scaling it to a statement-making size. Alongside the Aphex Twin logo, subtle Supreme branding is integrated, a quiet co-sign that never overshadows the star of the show. Released on March 6, 2025, with a retail price of $58, this long sleeve became an instant collector’s item, reflecting Supreme’s unerring ability to curate cult cultural crossovers. The black colourway is the definitive presentation: it frames the psychedelic visuals like a fine art print, making the graphic pop with a high-contrast punch that a white or grey tee simply
