Supreme is still one of the most recognizable brands in the world. What makes its products so expensive?

Clothing that costs hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars. Waiting lines that span city blocks. And a resale market that can cost (or make) a person a small fortune. How does Supreme command such an incredibly high price tag? Discuss this with your students in NGPF's new activity series based on Business Insider's web series: So Expensive. 

Students will watch a video about a specific product or service, identify the specific factors of production that impact its price, and dig deeper by answering a few thought-provoking questions.
