Supreme has officially landed in Miami's vibrant Design District, bringing its distinctive blend of streetwear culture, art, and skateboarding to Florida for the first time.
Supreme has officially landed in Miami's vibrant Design District, bringing its distinctive blend of streetwear culture, art, and skateboarding to Florida for the first time. The new location, which opened its doors on April 10, 2025, marks the brand's 18th global store and continues Supreme's careful expansion strategy with a space that balances the brand's minimalist aesthetic with bold architectural choices and Miami-specific elements.
A Striking Architectural Statement in Miami's Design District
Located at 45 NE 41st Street in the heart of Downtown Miami's Design District, the new Supreme flagship makes an immediate impression with its distinctive exterior. Unlike the pastel palettes typically associated with Miami architecture, Supreme opted for a more brutalist-inspired approach that stays true to the brand's urban roots. The building's façade features a system of perforated metal panels that cleverly interact with Miami's intense sunlight – filtering it during the day and creating an ethereal glow from within after dark.
The store occupies a generous 3,735-square-foot space that has been completely transformed through a collaboration between design firm Brinkworth, architect Neil Logan, and the Wilson Brothers. Rather than completely rebuilding, the team stripped an existing concrete-frame structure down to its core elements, removing staircases and interiors to create a clean slate for Supreme's vision. This approach reflects the brand's longstanding commitment to adaptive reuse and site-specific design.
The Floating Skate Bowl Centerpiece
The most dramatic feature of the Miami location is undoubtedly its suspended wooden skate bowl, which hovers eight feet above the retail floor between two concrete columns. Created by Steve Badgett of Simparch in collaboration with Brinkworth, Neil Logan, and the Wilson Brothers, this architectural showstopper serves as both functional skateboarding infrastructure and an artistic statement. While a similar feature exists in Supreme's Shanghai location, the Miami incarnation takes on a more sculptural role – casting dynamic shadows throughout the space and creating a fascinating interplay between voids and volumes.
Clothing racks and display shelves are thoughtfully arranged around the perimeter of this central installation, allowing the bowl to command attention while maintaining the store's primary retail function. The integration of skating culture into the physical space reinforces Supreme's authentic roots in skateboarding and street culture.
Art and Cultural Elements That Define the Space
True to Supreme's history of merging retail with art gallery aesthetics, the Miami store features significant artwork that elevates it beyond a simple shopping destination. The walls showcase captivating pieces by renowned artists including Rita Ackerman, Harmony Korine, Mark Gonzales, Nate Lowman, and Fuck This Life. These artworks create an immersive environment that speaks to the brand's connections to contemporary art and street culture.
Opposite the wooden bowl, a massive video wall dominates one side of the store, continuously looping archival Supreme skate footage that serves as a visual history lesson in the brand's evolution. Additional site-specific elements include artwork by Dave X, a large mural by Rita Ackerman, and a pre-cast concrete bench modeled on Miami's Martin Luther King skate spot – touches that anchor the space in local skate culture while maintaining Supreme's distinctive design language.
HEADBANGER: A Miami Skate Film Premiere
To commemorate the opening of this milestone location, Supreme premiered a new full-length skate film titled "HEADBANGER," directed by William Strobeck. Shot primarily in Miami, the film stars local native Zion Effs alongside a roster of established Supreme team skaters including Aidan Mackie, Ben Kadow, Caleb Barnett, Kader Sylla, Mark Gonzales, Elijah Odom, Patrick O'Mara, Rowan Zorilla, Sean Pablo, Seven Strong, and Troy Gipson. The film also introduces new team member Joseph Campos.
This cinematic celebration of skateboarding reinforces Supreme's commitment to supporting skate culture and documents the brand's integration into Miami's existing skateboarding community.
Strategic Expansion into Florida's Cultural Hub
The decision to open in Miami represents a significant milestone in Supreme's retail strategy. As the brand's first Florida location, the Miami store extends Supreme's reach into a market known for its dynamic blend of luxury fashion, street culture, and international influences.
The Design District placement positions Supreme alongside high-end neighbors like Off-White, Amiri, Chrome Hearts, and Louis Vuitton, reflecting the brand's continued evolution from niche skateboarding label to global cultural phenomenon. For local fans, the physical store eliminates dependence on online drops or resellers, providing direct access to weekly releases and the authentic Supreme shopping experience.
"Supreme is so clear about the brand's vision, and who its customers are," said Brinkworth's Managing Director Sam Derrick. "When the client and the design team share a strong conviction, it sets the foundation for something extraordinary."
Visitor Information and Shopping Details
Supreme Miami is now open with regular hours from Monday through Saturday, 11 AM to 8 PM, and Sundays from 11 AM to 7 PM. Located at 45 NE 41st Street in Miami's Design District, the store can be reached by phone at (305) 831-0176.

Fifteen Years of Design Collaboration
The Miami location marks fifteen years of collaboration between Supreme and design firm Brinkworth, a relationship built on shared roots in skate culture and an unwavering commitment to authentic design. The Miami store may represent the most refined expression of this partnership yet – architecturally bold but essentially understated, with a focus on quality materials, thoughtful spatial arrangement, and cultural resonance.
From the suspended skate bowl to the carefully curated artwork and the distinctive perforated façade, every element of Supreme Miami reflects the brand's evolution while remaining true to its foundational identity. In a city known for architectural statement-making, Supreme has created a space that holds its own through confident restraint and strategic innovation – a fitting addition to both Miami's design landscape and Supreme's growing global footprint.
