About the original
The Paricon Steel Saucer Sled is a 26-inch powder-coated steel disc with all-weather rubber-wrapped handles and a slick painted underside, built to glide on packed snow and outlast plastic saucer sleds by design. Paricon manufactures sleds under the Flexible Flyer name — a brand that dates to Samuel Leeds Allen's patented 1889 runner sled and remains one of the most recognized names in American winter toys — and the company now operates out of South Paris, Maine. Paricon retails the 26-inch steel saucer around $41 through hardware and general retailers. The FW22 Supreme collab version carries a co-branded print on the top face, released at $98.
About Paricon
Paricon is an American sled manufacturer based in South Paris, Maine, descended from Paris Manufacturing Company, which was founded in 1861 by Henry Morton to produce wooden furniture, sleds, toboggans, and skis. Paris Manufacturing supplied the sledges used in Admiral Peary's 1909 expedition to the North Pole and Donald MacMillan's 1914 follow-up. In 2005 Paricon acquired the Flexible Flyer winter-products brand, originally patented by the S.L. Allen Company of Philadelphia in 1889, and now markets all of its sleds under that name. The current line covers steerable runners, toboggans, and plastic snow tubes. Supreme's collaboration with Paricon applies the box logo to a Flexible Flyer sled.
