The Supreme × Louis Vuitton Baseball Gloves condense one of the most consequential collaborations in modern luxury into a single compact object: red leather, an enlarged Monogram and a Supreme patch at each wrist. This pair is unused, in size S, with no prior wear disclosed.
The Piece
Released in 2017, the Supreme × Louis Vuitton collection brought together two visual systems once thought almost incompatible: Louis Vuitton's historic Monogram and Supreme's uncompromising New York graphic identity. The collaboration debuted in the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall/Winter 2017 season under Kim Jones, carrying Supreme imagery directly into the house's luxury vocabulary across luggage, leather goods, ready-to-wear, footwear, accessories and objects, all united by Supreme red, the Monogram and co-branded detailing. The Baseball Gloves belonged to that original 2017 offering and originally retailed at US$875.
The backs of the hands are covered in oversized cream-white Louis Vuitton motifs set against the saturated red ground: LV initials, quatrefoil flowers, rounded floral motifs and diamond-shaped Monogram flowers. Enlarged almost to the point of graphic abstraction, the repeat is cropped and broken across the fingers, so the whole is never seen at once; part flower, part LV, partial motif and interrupted shape, the composition changes with every position of the hand. On a trunk the Monogram reads as history; across five fingers in bright red leather it reads almost as rebellion.
The cuffs carry the clearest Supreme signature. Each wrist is finished with a rectangular Supreme patch set into a contrasting natural-toned leather frame, placed deliberately where it stays visible when worn and marking the transition from the red leather body to the ribbed wrist. Despite the name, these are not fielding mitts: the design is closer to a fitted leather sporting glove, drawing on athletic and baseball language through its ribbed cuffs, leather body and articulated fingers, and it sits between sports accessory, luxury leather good, streetwear artifact and design object.
The red leather gives the gloves a character quite unlike Supreme's textile accessories, with natural grain and flexibility, reinforced seams articulating each finger, tonal stitching and a structured wrist opening. The fit is close rather than bulky, letting the Monogram wrap naturally around the hand while preserving mobility. On an object this small, stitching, printing, edge finishing and panel alignment cannot disappear into large surfaces, so the workmanship is unusually visible. Louis Vuitton contributes leatherwork, Monogram and finishing; Supreme contributes scale, color and immediacy.
The collaboration arrived as fashion was rethinking the boundary between streetwear, luxury and collecting, and it marked a turning point: a house founded on objects engineered for travel and a label born of skateboarding and New York street culture became part of the same formal luxury collection, without either one disappearing. Its accessories proved especially memorable for transforming everyday objects through deliberate branding, and the Baseball Gloves, a familiar sporting object changed in material, color, scale and context, remain identifiable even without the rest of the collection around them.

- Leather records use quickly at finger joints, palms, wrist openings and cuff edges, so an unused pair preserves the object close to its original visual state.
Fit, Styling & Display
Glove sizing depends on hand circumference, finger length and preferred fit, so the marked size S is the primary reference; the pair suits collectors or wearers comfortable with a smaller glove.
Although highly collectible, these remain wearable leather gloves, best styled so the red and white graphics stay dominant: black outerwear, navy wool, dark denim, charcoal tailoring, white shirts, neutral knitwear, minimal streetwear or clean monochrome. The gloves supply all the visual noise; everything around them can stay quiet.
Placed flat, the Monogram surface is fully visible; placed upright or lightly shaped, the articulated fingers cast shadows and reveal different sections of the graphics. Within a Supreme or Louis Vuitton collection the pair adds a category far removed from handbags, wallets or clothing, and it sits equally well in streetwear archives, luxury accessory and collaboration collections, or design-object displays.
Authenticity & Care
Attribution rests on the 2017 collaboration configuration: red leather body, cream-white Monogram at enlarged scale, Supreme wrist patches in natural-tone leather frames, ribbed cuffs, correct finger construction, size marking and collaboration-specific proportions. Every piece is examined and documented in Japan before dispatch and is offered with the Japonista authenticity guarantee.
