Okay, here’s the thing, I was super pumped about getting my hands on one of those Supreme basketball arm sleeves. You know, the ones everyone’s been talking about? Yeah, those. So, let me tell you how I actually got one.
First, I heard about these sleeves during a Supreme x Nike collaboration. I saw some posts online, people asking “cop or drop?” and all that. I thought, “Man, those look cool,” plus I play a lot of basketball, and an arm sleeve might actually be useful, you know, for recovery or whatever.
So I started doing some digging. I found out that Supreme drops usually happen in two phases: an in-store drop first, and then an online drop the following week. This was my first time trying to get something from a Supreme drop, so I was a total newbie. Didn’t really do much research, I just winged it.
- Set my alarm for the online drop.
- Got on the website right when it started.
- Refreshed like crazy.
It was chaos! The website was super slow, things were selling out in seconds. I managed to add a white/black sleeve to my cart, and somehow, I actually checked out successfully. I couldn’t believe it!
When the sleeve arrived, I was pretty stoked. It looked just like the pictures. I’ve been wearing it to play, and honestly, it does feel pretty good. I don’t know if it’s helping my game or anything, but I like how it feels. Kinda reduces those bumps and stuff. Plus it looks cool.
My Thoughts
Overall, it was a wild experience. Definitely a bit of a rush trying to cop something so hyped up. I might try to get other stuff from Supreme in the future. I just wish it was less hectic. I’d definitely recommend other people to do a little more research beforehand, unlike me. I just got lucky this time. Anyway, that’s my story about getting the Supreme basketball arm sleeve. Hope you enjoyed it!
