About the original
Thrasher Magazine was founded in San Francisco in 1981 by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson, and Fausto Vitello, and has operated continuously as skateboarding's magazine of record for over four decades. Thrasher sells its own line of cotton/poly crewneck sweatshirts (most recognizably the Flame Logo Crewneck in black) through shop.thrashermagazine.com, in a standard fit with a sewn-in label and 50/50 cotton/poly construction. The FW24 Supreme collaboration uses a photo-graphic print of a kid wearing a Thrasher shirt, printed across the chest of the same blank body. The black-and-white photo print is Supreme-exclusive; the underlying crewneck is Thrasher's standard Flame Logo blank. Supreme retail was $168; Thrasher's own flame logo version sells for $49.95.
About Thrasher

The publication is known for its annual Skater of the Year award, established in 1990, and the flame-logo merchandise that broke into mainstream fashion in the mid-2010s. Thrasher remains independently owned by High Speed Productions. Supreme has collaborated with Thrasher on T-shirts and hoodies built around co-branded flame and box-logo graphics.
