The Supreme MPC goes on sale tomorrow, February 18th, when the company launches its latest seasonal collection.

Supreme is giving one of Akai‘s flagship samplers a slight makeover.

Earlier this week, the streetwear brand unveiled a preview of its SS21 collection featuring plenty of the standard items you might expect from the label; new tees, jackets, hoodies, beanies, loungewear, and miscellaneous items and accessories. But the star of next season’s collection is in that last category, where the company tends to stash a few branded oddities. Specifically, a bright red Supreme edition of Akai’s MPC Live II sampler.

The sampler is, of course, fully functional, but instead of the matte black casing, Supreme’s limited-edition take on the machine is company red with the logo blasted across its face. The MPC Live II is both a sampler and a MIDI controller with a touch display and 16 velocity-sensitive pads, all of which work seamlessly with both Akai’s MPC Beats software and Ableton Live. It is also the first MPC to feature built-in speakers, making it slightly more portable than previous models. This season’s miscellaneous items also include a mini-fridge, NERF guns, alarm clocks, Zippo lighters, portable power stations, aluminum dice, and plenty more.

Elsewhere, the SS21 collection features a pair of hat tips to hip-hop icons. One tee brandishes a baby photo of The Notorious B.I.G., another is treated with the album cover of Prodigy’s 2000 solo album, H.N.I.C.
