How to Cop Supreme

Since 1994, the American clothing and skate brand Supreme has maintained its forefront position in the streetwear scene through the seasonal releases of limited-edition apparel and accessories. There is no denying that the classic red rectangular Supreme logo is familiar to many of us, famously known as the "Bogo", which has taken on various forms throughout the years, including collaborative iterations.

As the hype around Supreme continued to grow due to celebrity endorsements and social media influencers, buying Supreme products has become extremely difficult—both online and in-store. Countless streetwear enthusiasts and resellers would camp overnight outside the Supreme storefront on Wednesday evenings, snuggled in sleeping bags on their camping chairs until the following morning when the doors open. Because of public disruption and littering, the chaotic system eventually stopped around 2017 in favour of an online registration method.

In addition, online Supreme releases also took place on Thursdays, usually at 11am local time for Supreme London and all the other stores worldwide. However, this has now changed. While many may think buying Supreme online is as simple as adding the items to the basket and checking out, automated add-to-cart and checkout bots took over the world by storm, making it practically impossible to buy anything online.

So with all that said, the question many of us find ourselves searching is: "how to cop Supreme?" In this ultimate Supreme copping guide we curated, you're going to learn all the little secrets, tips and tricks on how to buy the best Supreme items online before they sell out!

If you live close to a Supreme store, it's probably best to opt for in-store registrations rather than trying your luck against bots online. The form goes live at 11am in your local time and is only open for 2-3 minutes, and you'll then receive a text that will require you to confirm your entry. The following day, you will receive another text which informs you of your position number and the time to be at the store on the day of release. The links for these registration forms can be found below.

Drops used to occur at 11am local time, however this has now changed! Depending on where you are in the world, this answer may be different. Supreme drops occur every Thursday at 11am NYC time, 4pm in London and about 5pm in Europe.

If you don't live near a Supreme store, your only chance at securing Supreme items is via the online store, so you need to familiarise yourself with the Supreme website. Spend some time studying the website by navigating through the main page and different categories.

Once you're used to the layout of the Supreme website, the next step is knowing what you want to buy on the day of release, meaning that you need to know which category your desired items will drop in. That way, you're not scrambling on the main page trying to find the items you want. You can sometimes find specific product URLs online before the drop which saves you time when trying to find the item you're looking for.

It's also worth getting used to Supreme's checkout system. Before the drop, have a practice at clicking the item you want, adding it to your bag, and getting to the checkout. Supreme does not hold your items when they are in your bag so it's easy to lose them. This is called 'cart jacking'.

Last but not least, typing out your shipping and billing information should always be avoided, as Supreme items sell out within seconds. It's a race against time, so even a second slower than other users will put you at a disadvantage. What's the solution? Autofill. People use automatic form fillers, which is a tool that fills the user's information at lightning speed.

We recommend using a desktop browser such as Google Chrome when buying Supreme online as it has its autofill feature. Alternatively, you can download free autofill extensions. If you are using a mobile device, we suggest using Fillr, a free autofill app. We also suggest navigating to the category page of the item you want to cop, we've given some examples of these below:

Are you still taking Ls on Supreme drops? Maybe it's time to join the dark side? Hundreds of bot users are securing high-heat products at streetwear and sneaker drops. But what is a Supreme bot? First of all, the common misconception about bots is that they're easy to use with a simple "start" function. It's essential to know that operating a bot is not a piece of cake and requires a lot of skill, knowledge, patience, and money to buy the bot itself, which is usually pretty expensive, and proxies. Even then, it is not 100% guaranteed that you'll secure the items you want with a bot.

Of course, not everyone has the time to run bots. So another option you can consider is joining a "cook group", a discord-based community server with experienced bot users running slots for a small commission fee.

If you've tried everything you possibly can to secure your grails but still failed, your last option is to buy from the secondary market. StockX offers the latest weekly Supreme drops with an authentication system to ensure that the products sold are not fake. You can also buy directly from sellers on eBay, Depop, Grailed, or well-known Facebook groups such as The Basement and Supreme Talk UK/EU.
