Speaker 4: This event is officially canceled. They haven't given today. There is no reason for you to be staying around here. Jessica Mendoza: Luke co-founded a resale chain that specializes in sneakers and vintage clothing called Round Two. He says that a lot of R2's customers came to them looking for Supreme stuff.
Luke Fracher: I'm sure I have Supreme Gonz jacket, which is from 2016. The Supreme Quickie Tee is from I think '08. That's a tee that a lot of people really like.
