Supreme announce Jane’s Addiction fashion collection
Supreme has announced a collaboration with Jane’s Addiction.
It follows the band making headlines in recent months for their reunion and subsequent fallout, which occurred when a fight broke out on stage between Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro. Following the incident, they subsequently cancelled their remaining dates and confirmed a hiatus.
Since then there’s been little sign of activity, despite a single called ‘True Love’ which they quietly released in September, following the announcement of their indefinite break.
Now, though, Supreme have announced a Fall 24 collaboration with the band. The limited-edition collection consists of puffa jackets, hoodies, t-shirts and knitwear featuring some of their most iconic images and album artwork, and will be available tomorrow (October 31st) everywhere except Asia, where it will be available from November 2.
In an Instagram post announcing the collection, Supreme credited Jane’s Addiction for “kickstarting the mainstream alternative rock era that came to define the 1990s” and shepherding “the underground to the charts”.

Meanwhile, Jane’s Addiction guitar tech Dan Cleary recently shared Farrell’s isolated mic track from the performance that saw him have an onstage fight with Navarro.
Cleary – the band’s guitar and bass tech of 17 years – put the footage on YouTube with his narration, and also recently revealed Farrell had punched Navarro in the face backstage after the initial altercation.
Farrell’s wife Etty Lau had also weighed in on the situation, and attributed his behaviour to him suffering from “tinnitus and a sore throat every night”, which had been compounded by “extremely loud” stage volume and his voice “being drowned out by the band”.
She has since said Farrell was taking time to “reflect and to heal”, and would be seeking help from an otolaryngologist and a neurologist. She also said there was “no need for [her] to address the other false narratives” about the situation.
Elsewhere, Porno For Pyros bassist Martyn LeNoble recently described Farrell as “the worst frontman I’ve ever worked with” in a scathing series of posts shared on X/Twitter.
At their recently completed UK and European tour earlier this year, NME gave the band a five-star review for their gig at London’s Roundhouse.
“Now back in full swing, fan-favourites including ‘Mountain Song’, ‘Ain’t No Right’ and ‘Been Caught Stealing’ come in thick and fast, and seem to have a new lease of life that push the set to new heights,” it read.
“Not only does Navarro take every chance he gets to showcase a dizzying number of electrifying licks, but Perkins and Avery hold down the rhythm section with enough intensity to put anyone to shame – all while telepathically knowing when to toy with dynamics and take the renditions in sonic new directions.”
