Supreme vs. Original
About the original
Thrasher Magazine was founded in San Francisco in 1981 by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson, and Fausto Vitello as an independent skateboarding publication, and has printed skate graphics on 100% cotton tees for more than four decades; the Skate Mag flame logo is the brand's most-reproduced graphic. The FW21 Supreme x Thrasher Game Tee is a short-sleeve heavyweight cotton crewneck with a printed 8-bit arcade-style skateboarding scene on the chest (drawn in collaboration with Rockstar Games' art team) and a Supreme and Thrasher logo lockup on the upper back. It dropped September 23, 2021 at $44 in white, black, and navy against roughly $32 for a standard Thrasher tee.
