Supreme Reseller OG Ma Is a Chinatown Hypebeast
Vložit

- OG Ma is a streetwear legend. Born Lam Zie, she moved to the U.S. from China in the early 1990s. She fell in love with street style, and was rocking Supreme back when it was still a niche brand among skaters. One of the first people to realize you could make a fortune selling cult brands on the resale market, she opened Unique Hype Collection in New York City’s Chinatown. Today, the shop has become the go-to place for all things Supreme. She’s got fans in Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, and everyone wants to have their photo taken with OG Ma, the icon herself.
The story of America is the story of immigrants. We teamed up with Minnie Driver to share stories of some incredible individuals building a stronger, more united America. Check them all out in our latest series, “I Am An Immigrant.”

BloopTamer lol same
Skaters: why you resell if it’s meant for every day use not to sit on shelf’s
Bruh that’s my hypixel username

Joshua Li

She needs to collaborate with supreme she’s the one that made it really hype
Lil Tani imagine the og ma photo tee lol
She obviously is working with them
Lol what are u guys on about
Lil Tani nah man, Dipset in NY really made it known when I was growing up! I went to the original location on Lafayette back in 1998!
@tyvek05 supreme was invested 50% by a firm something back in 2015 lol. if youve been since 1998 youve got to have connections
She’s smart she knows if she bounces that supreme basketball itl decrease in value 😂👌
exponentially
Yup! I thought the exactly same.
Smart
OY3AH!
What does this mean I am soo confused?
this woman: old and knew supreme in 1992
my dad: *uses phone calculator to call me*
My grandmother knows how to use a phone and the internet better than my mother ever could, yours a bigger case than mine since my mother could still call people on a normal cellphone and that's about it, she can hardly exit or understand any buttons work (not English native. Chinese).
@@dumbleking5172 it was a joke but cool story
how do you use a phone calculator to call someone
When supreme came out in 1994 she knew it in 98 and u said 92🤔
lol
I went there the other day and she is the coolest person ever. She helped me and my friends pick out clothes and gave us some free stuff too
Doesn't matter how many times I see supreme brand name it doesn't looks different from Colgate logo.
Cannot unsee
HOLY HECC
They need to collab with colgate
😂😂😂
hhhahahhaa
I met her shes so nice and friendly
Eric Lin no you did not you lier
Unboxinganime fat
Unboxinganime how are you so sure dumbo?
Unboxinganime you can literally go to the store and meet her... she’s always working and loves to talk with the customers lol
@@unboxingmoney8926 it's her store, that means she works there, u can lowkey go there and met her, I ain't something to liar bout.
When grandma dresses better than you
when your granny buys the af1 x off white collection then sells it retail for 2 racks
wearing hype stuff doesn't equal better dressed
Laxmansk64 Saravanakumar is u know how to put it all together it does
FIRE UNDERWATER not everyone likes supreme clothes
NOPE, it look shit actually
Rich kid flexing: i-
OG MA: Hold my money
hold my box logo*
Yes
1:52 “everybody wears supreme”
Me: *laughs in poverty*
bro imagine a yr old grandkid fully decked out in supreme
This is who we r losing to when copping supreme
LOLL
I never copped supreme in my life
Supreme gives her the merchandise. They get a cut of the profits.
This facts?
That’s not true, she pays a smaller fee plus retail of the item then paying resell. For example a hoodie is 168 USD, she buys it for 350 from a reseller and then sells it for 600.
Thats how business works
That’s not true she buys it in from resellers and gets proxy’s (people will stand in line for her then she’ll pay them for the time they stand in line)
jairus loo
That’s how mafia works.
0:03 for some reason, this sentence felt like forever
lmao
SAMEEE
It took around 12 seconds I counted
Yeah, I can understand Cantonese, she stuttered mid-sentence and said the sentence again. Like if I just rewrite it word for word in English which is just bad grammar but if it's rewritten in full English, it's like this. So obviously they just paraphrased it.
"Because our store is opening in Chinatown, we sell the stuff "stutter" sell the stuff, the community thinks that because our store is in Chinatown is fake."
No one:
Lady: mY naMe IS MiNi driVUR
Underated ass comment 😂
im a “immigrant “
You are too young to know who Mini Driver is.
Allen Han you’re right
@@loverboycurly why the quotation marks?
Always pass by this store and go in once in a while to check it out. Pretty cool spot I'm glad shes getting recognition for this. She has a really big entrepreneurial spirit
The only thing I will say is that what this story proves is whatever you love and passionate about, go all in and your passion will reward you. The the wisdom today is learning how to turn your passion, gift, talents, skills, experience, expertise, etc into a business format.
Every kid in 2019: “I’m sO cOoL!
OG Ma: Hold my supreme!
Hypebeast: We know Supreme inside out
OG Ma: Hold my basketball..
Finally they made a story on her
I'm loving these videos !
Imagine making this whole doc and not realizing it’s her son that runs everything and started this. OG Ma is just the figurehead so that he can continue to work without people knowing who he is.
I can allready hear it!
Daium my G! Sick fit!
This women is the greatest! While I don't believe in fads like supreme, she is bucking the trend and I am happy for her to see her succeed in something unconventional this
Simply great content
Thank you aunt OG Ma for representing china town NYC . Will come support u for sure
God bless her. I respect her hustle!!
I’ll never forget when I walked into this store on accident and it changed my whole life Lmfaoo
The main reason why I walked in was cuz their was some air mags and I thought it was fake until I walked in and saw the price lmaoo
Love it !!! Cantos doing there thing!!!
First I’m a big fan
She gets her stuff cause she hire people to buy stuff for her..she uses “same ole line dudes”
What's more impressive is that she was able to gain so much attention living here with out speaking English that's unbelievable
I didn’t watch this yet but I Love her already!!
OG MA ! Hype supreme ! Nice!
Lil tay: I’m the richest flexer of the century
Og ma: HAHAHAH OK LOL HI
OG Ma: “Everyone wears Supreme”
Me: Wears buttoned shirt
This was a beautiful representation of the American dream being made into their reality. ✨🙏✨
Her cantonese accent is awesome - love it 👍
Hello fellow Cantonese speakers!
Katie Cheung hello!
I hear a different dialect mixed into her cantonese.. is it slipping into toysan?
@@musingsofajay387 I think so too, the way she sounds it not your typical hong konger.
"OG Ma"
Sounds badass
Mind blowing !!
Love it
Does she supply all those hypebeast international Chinese kids?
Bro she probly dose
Those kids are so dumb my god
Rich Kid: look at my Expensive clothing! Yes I’m that rich
OG ma: hold my basketball
Dang I was just in Chinatown for a school field trip, wish I heard of this place beforehand
Og ma one of the best people that’s insane!! Keep it up (:
I saw her on the B train filming during the summer
Should've asked her for somethin
Shit we need an OG MA x Thrift store collab
What is that galaxy like jacket at 0:20? Where do I cop?
Inspiring!
I cant be the only one that hears "minidriver" 0:45
I hear it to, that's a wierd name...??
Why did I read the title as “ supreme wrestler”
She is that too
I was hoping this was in cali!!
When i heard minnie driver in my head i said to my self Mini Driver? As in tiny driver? Haha😂
This is literally the American dream
100 subs with no videos?? ? To eat lots of food and go obese?
I wish this was my grandma so she could give me supreme xD
I know this spot! Will be visiting soon! China town has so many deals!
"Mini driver" I'm dead😂💀
Supreme has to give her first dibs on everything bc she won’t reveal how she gets it
Enrique Vargas she has backdoors and proxies to get it. That’s why she won’t say if the Supreme employees who hook her up got caught they would get fired
I have to say that she was a babe when she was younger.
Dope
She a true hypebeast🔥❤️
Real nyc heads remember when her store was so small only like 3 ppl could be in there at once
Andric C. 🤧🤧🤧
Andric C. 🛴 🛴
it kinda annoys me that none of the clothes are in a dust bag
OG MA THE GOAT WRD2 my barber right next to unique hype !
I'd always pass by this store thinking it was another fake Supreme shop. Never been more glad to be wrong
So her grandchildren are always looking "fresh".
She really integrated with American pop culture.
OG Ma - " Don't judge the book by its cover" 👍
Dope story

"my name is mini driver" I mean weird flex but okay
This makes me want to start flipping
The X Kaws figures are LIT
Great narrating from the host well done #greatness only #nocolourism
#movement #lowsaltlowsugar healthy heart n body
Imagine being her children
AkoFN her son is the one that actually started this, but because of his buying tactics he wants to stay behind the scenes so that it’s harder for brands to crack down on what they do.
I think buying things for hundreds of dollars more that they're worth for a logo is supremely stupid.
that's not the point tho. it's about the hype and the excitement of it all. it's everything to people.
Some people aren’t broke.
@@user-fw9ku6gy9d but they are stupid. lol
BuT iTs SuPreMe
@@haylebayle2978 supremely stupid
OG Ma rocking that Supreme like everyday wear🤣Gangsta Granny🤣
Did I just see a Supreme bible? 😂 2:54
I first thought she’s from HK. She speaks Cantonese,
In nyc chinatown everyone speaks Cantonese. It’s more open now but my parents always used to tell me how back in the 80’s if you didn’t speak Cantonese you couldn’t get served anywhere
why is her Cantonese so bad lmao
0:02 it takes here 20 secs to say that sentence
Just a joke
markonukes this comment is so underrated but when that ttv does this 👇,he gets 1000 likes 🤦♂️
I met og ma she's a true collector
Great
oldest flexer of the century.
“I believe nothing is more American than its immigrants”
-Mini Driver
Lol wht irony.
Thats true tho america descendant comes from europe immigrant right? If only those "america" didnt kill "real america" ppl then i bet that immigrant word is not correct
Fap King yes but an immigrant from Pakistan isn’t more American than a person born in America with generations of family from America
She got me into supreme
OG Ma Is A Staple In The Community!
The chinese are really the best at this. Everywhere in the world.

Thank you Minnie for doing Good Will Hunting.

Watching a documentary on Netflix on hype. These brands require "hype" are overpriced. Hype has no value. The only things that makes it overpriced is not the uniqueness but the low amount of stuff produced by pasting a name on it (which the company stole the font and color from a woman). This "brand" is the equivalent of putting a NOS or Rockstar energy drink sticker on a car. Lol.
What's the name of the documentary? I'm interested in watching.
I know right? Supreme makes nothing original, and every single thing they make is just their red box logo slapped on it. Nothing else. They don't do collaborations or make other pieces. Just red box logos. I know nothing about Supreme but this is what the internet has told me. Supreme is also bad because Barbara Kruger invented Supreme and Supreme stole it from her. She invented white text in red boxes and "supreme" stole it from her. This is also what the internet has told me.
Justin don’t believe everything you find on the internet. First of all, supreme doesn’t only make pieces with their logo on it. Many of their pieces are intricately designed and from first look someone might not know it has any relation to the brand. Each season only a few products are released that have the logo plastered on it. Second of all, supreme has done dozens, maybe even hundreds of collaborations with other companies including north face, vans, Swarovski, cdg, hot wheels, Santa Cruz, fox, Johnson & Johnson just to name a few. Third of all Barbara Kruger didn’t “invent supreme”. She created a design which was used by supreme after. Supreme wasn’t a large street wear design brand to begin with. They were a small skate shop in New York.
@@Quanic2000 Patriot Act, with Hasan Minhaj. He shows the history of supreme in one of the episodes.
Plain ass white shirt with red rectangle goes for sale at around $700
