Supreme Reseller Arrested Outside London Store: What’s The Real Story?

Here’s more streetwear-related drama as a video of an alleged Supreme reseller arrested outside the London store has emerged.

The arrested man appears to be held by plainclothes officers as a crowd gathered around.

Dedicated Supreme accounts covering all the latest leaks and drops such as @supreme_leaks_news and @suptalk have shared the clip that saw a Supreme reseller arrested outside the London store.

Reselling of Supreme is not a new-found practice, but the pace has certainly picked up in recent years with everyone looking to gain a slice of the pie. Besides, it’s a lucrative one where coveted and rare Supreme items can go for more than double its retail price.

Controversy in streetwear almost always sparks a massive reaction and this recent one is no different.
