What Are Supreme Bot Keywords?

Supreme bot keywords are the search terms your bot uses to find and select a specific product the instant it goes live on supremenewyork.com. When a Supreme drop happens, your bot does not browse the site like a human. It scans every product name on the page and matches it against the keywords you configured. When it finds a match, it adds the item to cart and checks out — all within 2-4 seconds of the drop going live.

Keywords are the single most important part of your Supreme bot setup. Your proxies can be perfect, your payment profiles can be flawless, and your bot can be the fastest on the market — but if your keywords are wrong, the bot either grabs the wrong item, targets nothing at all, or wastes critical seconds trying to figure out what you wanted. On Supreme, where stock sells out in under 5 seconds on hyped items, a bad keyword setup is a guaranteed L.

Every Supreme bot — Mekpreme, Kodai, CyberSole, and others — uses some form of keyword matching. The syntax varies slightly between bots, but the core concept is the same: tell the bot what words must appear in the product name (positive keywords) and what words must not appear (negative keywords).

How Supreme Keywords Work

Supreme bot keywords use two types of matching: positive keywords and negative keywords. Understanding both is the difference between copping your target item and accidentally checking out a $48 accessory you did not want.

Positive Keywords

Positive keywords are words that must appear in the product name for your bot to target it. If you set your positive keywords to box logo tee, the bot will only target products whose names contain all three words: "box," "logo," and "tee." The order does not matter — "Box Logo Tee" and "Tee with Box Logo" would both match.

Most bots use a + prefix to denote positive keywords. For example: +box,+logo,+tee. Some bots treat all keywords as positive by default unless you explicitly mark them as negative.

Negative Keywords

Negative keywords exclude products from matching. If Supreme drops both a "Box Logo Tee" and a "Box Logo Crewneck" in the same week, you need negative keywords to make sure your bot does not grab the wrong one. Setting -crewneck tells the bot to skip any product with "crewneck" in the name.

Negative keywords are critical when Supreme drops multiple colorways or variations of the same item. Without them, your bot might grab the first matching item it finds — which could be the wrong color, wrong style, or the less valuable version.

Exact vs Broad Matching

Some bots support exact matching (the product name must contain the keyword exactly as typed) and broad matching (partial word matches count). For example, with broad matching, the keyword "box" would match "Box Logo" and "Boxer Shorts." With exact matching, it would only match if "box" appears as a standalone word. Most Supreme bots default to broad matching. Use additional positive or negative keywords to narrow results if broad matching causes conflicts.

How to Find Keywords Before a Drop

Your keywords are only as good as the product information you have before drop day. Here is where experienced Supreme botters source their keywords:

Supreme Community Preview

Supreme releases a preview of each week's drop on Monday, with the actual drop happening Thursday at 11:00 AM ET. The preview gives you product names, images, and categories. This is your primary source for keyword research. Screenshot the product names exactly as they appear — Supreme's naming conventions are specific and sometimes inconsistent.

Leak Accounts and Forums

Instagram accounts like @dropsbyjay, @supreme_leaks_news, and @j_p_supreme post product names and details days before the official preview. Supreme-focused subreddits and forums also circulate early information. Cross-reference leak information with the official preview when it drops — leaks are usually accurate but occasionally get names slightly wrong.

Past Drop Patterns

Supreme reuses naming conventions. If they dropped a "Box Logo Hooded Sweatshirt" last season, the next box logo hoodie will almost certainly use the same phrasing. Keep a log of product names from past drops. Sites that archive Supreme drop lists are invaluable for this. If you see "Hooded Sweatshirt" instead of "Hoodie" in past drops, use "Hooded Sweatshirt" in your keywords — that is how Supreme names it.

Cook Group Intel

Good cook groups post keyword lists and bot configs before every Supreme drop. This is one of the main reasons a cook group membership pays for itself. Staff members test keywords against the preview and share optimized setups that you can copy directly into your bot.

Keyword Formatting Rules

Formatting varies by bot, but these rules apply to the most popular Supreme bots in 2026:

Comma-Separated Lists

Most bots expect keywords separated by commas with no spaces after the comma. For example: +box,+logo,+tee,-crewneck,-long. Adding spaces after commas can cause parsing errors in some bots. Check your specific bot's documentation, but defaulting to no spaces is the safest approach.

Plus and Minus Syntax

The standard convention across Supreme bots:

  • +keyword — Product name must contain this word (positive)
  • -keyword — Product name must NOT contain this word (negative)

Some bots (like certain Kodai configurations) treat unprefixed keywords as positive by default. Always check your bot's keyword documentation to be sure.

Case Sensitivity

Most Supreme bots are case-insensitive. +Box and +box will match the same products. However, some older or less-maintained bots may be case-sensitive. If you are unsure, match the exact casing Supreme uses in the product name. Supreme typically capitalizes the first letter of each word: "Box Logo Tee," "Hooded Sweatshirt," "Camp Cap."

Special Characters

Avoid special characters in keywords unless they appear in the actual product name. Supreme occasionally uses characters like "/" (e.g., "S/S Top") or "&" in product names. If the product name includes a special character, include it in your keyword. Most bots handle these fine, but test before drop day if you are unsure.

Supreme Keyword Examples by Category

These are real keyword strings you can adapt for your bot. They follow the naming conventions Supreme actually uses on their site. Adjust the negative keywords based on what else is dropping that week.

T-Shirts

Supreme names most tees as "[Graphic Name] Tee" or "[Graphic Name] S/S Top." Box Logo tees are the most hyped and the most competitive.

  • Box Logo Tee: +box,+logo,+tee,-crewneck,-hooded,-sweatshirt,-beanie
  • Specific graphic tee: +madonna,+tee,-long,-sleeve
  • Pocket tee: +pocket,+tee,-polo,-jersey
  • Small Box Logo tee: +small,+box,+tee,-hooded,-sweatshirt,-cap
  • S/S Top: +s/s,+top,+jacquard,-jacket,-shirt

Hoodies and Sweatshirts

Supreme uses "Hooded Sweatshirt" not "Hoodie" and "Crewneck" for non-hooded sweatshirts. This distinction matters for your keywords.

  • Box Logo Hoodie: +box,+logo,+hooded,+sweatshirt,-crewneck,-tee,-beanie
  • Crewneck: +box,+logo,+crewneck,-hooded,-tee,-cap
  • Specific hoodie: +arabic,+logo,+hooded,+sweatshirt,-crewneck
  • Zip-up hoodie: +zip,+up,+hooded,-pullover,-crewneck

Jackets and Outerwear

Jackets are named by style: "Varsity Jacket," "Leather Jacket," "Puffer Jacket," "Work Jacket." Collabs include the brand name.

  • North Face collab jacket: +north,+face,+jacket,-fleece,-vest,-pant
  • Varsity jacket: +varsity,+jacket,-tee,-shirt,-cap
  • Puffer jacket: +puffer,+jacket,-vest,-half
  • Leather jacket: +leather,+jacket,-glove,-bag,-wallet

Hats and Beanies

Supreme uses "Camp Cap," "6-Panel," "Beanie," "New Era," and "Crusher" as their hat naming conventions. The Box Logo Beanie (or "New Era Beanie") is one of the most sought-after accessories.

  • Box Logo New Era beanie: +new,+era,+beanie,+box,+logo,-cap,-fitted
  • Camp cap: +camp,+cap,-beanie,-crusher,-visor
  • 6-Panel hat: +6-panel,-camp,-beanie,-new,+era
  • Crusher: +crusher,-cap,-beanie,-bucket
  • Fitted New Era: +new,+era,+fitted,-beanie,-camp

Bags and Accessories

Supreme bags use specific names: "Shoulder Bag," "Waist Bag," "Backpack," "Duffle Bag," "Tote." Accessories vary wildly in naming.

  • Shoulder bag: +shoulder,+bag,-waist,-backpack,-tote,-duffle
  • Waist bag: +waist,+bag,-shoulder,-backpack,-tote
  • Backpack: +backpack,-bag,-shoulder,-waist,-tote
  • Water bottle: +water,+bottle,-bag,-tee
  • Zippo lighter: +zippo,-tee,-jacket,-cap

Shoes

Supreme shoe collabs include the brand name. Nike collabs are the most hyped — naming usually follows "Nike [Shoe Model]" format.

  • Nike Dunk collab: +nike,+dunk,-tee,-shirt,-cap,-bag,-jacket
  • Nike Air Force 1: +nike,+air,+force,-tee,-shirt,-bag,-cap
  • Vans collab: +vans,-tee,-shirt,-jacket,-cap,-bag
  • Timberland collab: +timberland,-jacket,-shirt,-cap

Common Keyword Mistakes

I see these mistakes constantly, even from experienced botters who should know better. Any one of them can turn a W into an L.

Keywords Too Broad

Setting your keyword to just +tee when Supreme drops 15 different tees that week. Your bot will grab whichever tee loads first, which is almost never the one you wanted. Always use at least 2-3 positive keywords to narrow your target.

Keywords Too Narrow

Using +box,+logo,+heavy,+cotton,+tee,+white when the product is actually named "Box Logo Tee." Too many positive keywords means no match if the product name does not contain every single word you specified. Stick to the most distinctive words in the product name.

Wrong Delimiters

Using spaces, semicolons, or pipes instead of commas. Most bots expect commas. Using the wrong delimiter means your bot reads the entire string as one keyword, which will never match anything. Always use commas: +box,+logo,+tee.

Forgetting Negative Keywords

The most common mistake by far. Supreme drops multiple items that share words in their names. Without negative keywords, your bot might grab a "Box Logo Sticker" instead of a "Box Logo Tee." Always add negative keywords to exclude other items in the same drop that share words with your target.

Not Checking the Preview

Relying on last season's naming convention without checking this week's preview. Supreme occasionally changes product names between seasons. A "Hooded Sweatshirt" might become a "Hoodie" or vice versa. Always verify against the Monday preview.

Advanced Keyword Strategies

Once you have the basics down, these strategies separate the botters who consistently cook from the ones who hit only occasionally.

Backup Keyword Sets

Set up two or three tasks with slightly different keyword variations for the same product. If one keyword set fails to match due to an unexpected product name variation, the backup catches it. For example, if targeting a Box Logo Tee:

  • Task 1: +box,+logo,+tee,-crewneck,-hooded
  • Task 2: +bogo,+tee,-crewneck,-hooded
  • Task 3: +box,+logo,+s/s,-crewneck,-hooded,-sweatshirt

This covers cases where Supreme uses "Box Logo Tee," community shorthand appears, or the naming includes "S/S" instead of "Tee."

Color Keywords

If you are targeting a specific colorway, add the color as a positive keyword: +box,+logo,+tee,+red,-crewneck. This is useful when Supreme drops the same item in multiple colors and you want a specific one (usually because resale value varies by color). However, only use color keywords when the color actually appears in the product name on Supreme's site. Some colorways are listed by name (e.g., "Heather Grey") and some are only shown as selectable options after you click the product.

Size-Specific Considerations

Keywords do not control size — that is a separate setting in your bot. But understanding size stock levels affects your keyword strategy. Small and XL sizes generally have less stock, making them harder to cop. If you are targeting a size that sells out fastest, make sure your keywords are tight so the bot does not waste time matching the wrong product before selecting your size. Every millisecond counts.

Multi-Item Setups

Running tasks for multiple items in the same drop requires separate keyword sets per task. Do not try to combine keywords for different items into one task. Set up individual tasks with their own keyword strings:

  • Task 1 (tee): +box,+logo,+tee,-crewneck,-hooded
  • Task 2 (beanie): +new,+era,+beanie,-cap,-fitted
  • Task 3 (shoulder bag): +shoulder,+bag,-waist,-backpack

Run them simultaneously on separate profiles. Using the same billing profile for multiple tasks on Supreme will get all of them cancelled.

Best Bots for Supreme Keywords

Not every bot handles Supreme equally. The keyword system, checkout speed, and Supreme-specific optimizations vary significantly between bots. Here are the ones that consistently perform:

Mekpreme

Mekpreme is built exclusively for Supreme and it shows. The keyword matching is fast, the checkout flow is optimized specifically for Supreme's site structure, and the dev team focuses all their energy on one platform. If Supreme is your primary target, Mekpreme is purpose-built for it.

Kodai

Kodai has the most proven Supreme module of any AIO bot. It has been hitting Supreme drops for years, and the keyword system is well-documented with clear syntax rules. Kodai also covers Shopify and Footsites, so you get Supreme plus everything else in one bot.

CyberSole

CyberSole handles Supreme as part of its AIO coverage. The keyword setup is straightforward, and the Supreme module receives regular updates before weekly drops. CyberSole is the pick if you want Supreme capability bundled with broad site coverage.

Testing Your Keywords

Never go into a live drop without testing your keywords first. Here is how to make sure your setup works before it matters.

Dry Run on Non-Hyped Drops

Supreme drops every Thursday. Most weeks include non-hyped items that sit for minutes or even hours. Use these drops to test your keyword setup on a real live product page. Run a task with your keywords and see if the bot matches the correct product. If it does, your keyword formatting is correct for your bot. If it does not, fix the issue before the next hyped drop.

Test Against the Monday Preview

Once the preview drops on Monday, set up your keywords and test them mentally against every product name in the preview. For each product, ask: would my positive keywords match this? Would my negative keywords correctly exclude it? Walk through every item in your target category to check for conflicts.

Timing Your Setup

Have your keywords finalized and tasks configured by Wednesday night. Thursday morning before the drop is too late to troubleshoot keyword issues. You should be spending the 30 minutes before an 11:00 AM drop confirming your proxies are active and your bot is connected — not rewriting keywords. Your cook group will usually post final keyword lists by Tuesday or Wednesday. Use those as a starting point and customize based on the specific colorway or variant you want.

If you are new to botting Supreme and want to understand the full setup beyond just keywords, check out the Shopify bot setup guide — Supreme's site runs on a custom platform but many of the proxy and profile concepts overlap.
