About the original
Thrasher Magazine was founded in 1981 in San Francisco by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson, and Fausto Vitello. Its skate editorial and flame wordmark have run continuously for more than four decades. Thrasher's own Skate and Destroy sweatpant is a 50% cotton / 50% polyester fleece pull-on with elastic cuffs and an enlarged Skate and Destroy graphic printed down both legs; it retails for $52.95 at shop.thrashermagazine.com. Supreme's FW24 collab released September 26, 2024 at $158 in six colorways, with a similar down-the-leg treatment using the Supreme and Thrasher wordmarks stacked in place of Skate and Destroy. The base pant is a standard heavyweight fleece sweat.
