Cargo Short (Supreme exclusive)
About the original
The Supreme/Spitfire cargo is a cotton ripstop five-pocket short with double side pockets, a printed Supreme box-logo button-fly tag, and a co-branded Spitfire swirl logo screen-printed on the left cargo pocket. Spitfire Wheels was founded in San Francisco in 1987 by Jim Thiebaud and Fausto Vitello under Deluxe Distribution and has manufactured polyurethane skate wheels at its SF factory continuously since; the Bighead logo, designed by Kevin Ancell, first ran in a May 1992 ad. Spitfire does not produce apparel through its own line — its soft goods exist only through collaborations. Released June 21, 2018 at $148 in light purple, orange, black, and tan.
About Spitfire
Spitfire Wheels is an American skateboard wheel manufacturer founded in 1987 in San Francisco by Jim Thiebaud and Tommy Guerrero under the Deluxe Distribution umbrella. The brand's flaming-head logo, drawn by artist Kevin Ancell, is one of the most recognized marks in skateboarding. Spitfire's Formula Four urethane, released in 2014, became a standard pour for street and park skating, and the brand's Classic and Conical shapes remain catalog staples. Spitfire sits alongside Thrasher, Real, and Anti Hero in the Deluxe family of San Francisco skate labels. Supreme has collaborated with Spitfire on co-branded wheels, apparel, and accessories over many years.
