After Supreme officially gave Playboi Carti his own photo tee, fans are already debating who should be next. One name that keeps coming up is Ian Connor, a figure who, for many, defined an era of Supreme in the 2010s.
On Instagram, a fan commented under Connor’s post, “You need a photo tee next,” while another wrote, “Ian made me wanna wear Preme more than anyone ever.”
Throughout the mid-2010s, Ian was seen as one of the biggest style influencers in rap and streetwear, blending Supreme into the everyday looks of an entire generation. His fits and styling helped push the brand deeper into hip-hop culture, inspiring fans to view Supreme as more than just streetwear.
Connor’s influence on Supreme can’t be ignored. His close ties to artists like A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Kanye West cemented him in culture, and many credit him for making Supreme a status symbol in streetwear during that time.
While Carti now joins the legendary lineup of Supreme photo tee collaborators, it’s easy to see why fans feel Ian should be next.
But the conversation isn’t without controversy. Ian Connor has faced multiple allegations of sexual assault, with dozens of women coming forward in recent years. Though no criminal charges were filed, the accusations have heavily shadowed his career. Some argue this history makes it unlikely that Supreme, a global brand under VF Corporation, would align itself with him in an official collaboration.
For now, the idea of an Ian Connor photo tee remains strictly fan-driven. Still, the fact that people are calling for it nearly a decade after his peak Supreme influence shows just how much impact he had on the brand’s success.
