Supreme vs. Original
About the original
Thrasher was founded in 1981 in San Francisco by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson, and Fausto Vitello as a monthly skateboarding magazine; its flame logo and Skate Mag wordmark have become reference points for skate-culture graphics since the 1980s. Thrasher's standard cotton tees are produced in the US from pre-shrunk cotton and retail for $31.95 directly through shop.thrashermagazine.com. The FW21 Supreme collab paired a dual Supreme and Thrasher chest logo with a silkscreened New York City skyline graphic and was released September 23, 2021 in eight colorways at $44; the Skyline graphic itself is exclusive to the collaboration.
