Today, New York retailer Supreme unveils its latest collaboration with popular Japanese manga series Akira. Presenting a full range of clothing items and accessories, the collaboration takes cues from the original artwork created by renowned artist Katsuhiro Otomo.

With each item featuring different graphic designs from the show, the collection will tell the story of characters Kaneda and Tetsuo during the Post-World War III era.
