Legendary boxer Mike Tyson is suing the clothing company Supreme for allegedly altering a jacket design without his permission, replacing the Israeli flag with a Palestinian flag in what he claims was an unauthorized political statement. The collaboration, initially intended to honor Tyson's career, involved Supreme and designer Martin Rose. Tyson had approved a redesign inspired by an old jacket that featured the Israeli flag, but he claims the company changed the design to include the Palestinian flag without his consent.
According to a statement from Tyson's representative, the change constitutes a blatant breach of contract. The representative stated that Supreme dragged Tyson into a political dispute against his will and that the boxer will take necessary steps to protect his reputation and rights. The company had planned to release the redesigned jacket for sale as part of the collaboration.
In response to the controversy, Supreme has canceled the launch of the collaboration, and the jacket featuring the Palestinian flag will not be released for sale. The article notes that despite attempts by various entities globally to avoid political entanglements, some individuals persist in engaging in what it describes as cheap politics.
