About the original

Independent Truck Company was founded in 1978 in Santa Cruz, California by Fausto Vitello and Richard Novak, and its Stage trucks have been the dominant hardware in professional skateboarding for four decades. The company's core apparel program — cotton tees carrying the Independent wordmark — sells through NHS Skate Direct, Tactics, and skate shops worldwide for around $25. The FW17 collab is a 100% cotton short-sleeve tee with the Independent name rendered in Old English script across the chest; Supreme charged $44, released it November 16, 2017, and produced it in white, black, red, olive green, heather grey, and dark slate.
