That shirt looks very 'young,' IMO. Like something I'd see a teenager wearing.

Wow that proximity is crazy! I bet (or I hope at least lol) that LE is working to consider Emery. I wonder if the pacemaker, if it is Emery, would be tangled up with the skeleton, though.

It seems to be a knockoff instead of an actual Supreme branded shirt? Making it more affordable/accessible to teens.

I found the shirt online. It is a brand called "Fresh Laundry". I just messaged them through their website to ask when the shirt was first produced. We'll see if I get a response. That's not the normal inquiry that comes through their chat, I am sure.

that makes sense because levi's shoes are not a thing. you can get them at ross.

Old person here…
I had to look up the slang term, “drip too hard.”
Apparently it means to dress stylishly and present yourself confidently.
While it has been in the rap lexicon for several decades, the term’s usage in rap songs took off exponentially in 2018.

TIL!

Between this phrase and the 'Supreme' logo it seems like an odd shirt for a middle aged man to wear. I suppose he could be homeless and wearing whatever he had access to, but still. Before the recon and updated age range I would have assumed he was in his 20s at the oldest.

James Bernard White missing 3/18/22 from Alabama. He’s a tad older than estimate but has similar features to the UID.
