About the original
The Wham-O Frisbee is the original 9-to-11-inch injection-molded polypropylene flying disc, licensed from inventor Fred Morrison's Pluto Platter in January 1957 and sold under the Frisbee name from 1958 onward after Wham-O renamed it as a misspelled homage to the Frisbie Pie Company's pie tins popular among Yale students. The disc's balanced rim weight and thin airfoil produce stable, gyroscopic flight at moderate throw speeds, and the name has since genericized in common English usage. Wham-O was founded in 1948 in South Pasadena, California by Richard Knerr and Arthur Spud Melin. The SS21 Supreme collab, the Savior Frisbee, features a box-logo graphic and retailed at $24, roughly a dollar above a standard Wham-O Frisbee.
About Wham-O
Wham-O is an American toy company founded in 1948 by Arthur "Spud" Melin and Richard Knerr in San Gabriel, California. The company began selling a slingshot and expanded into novelty products that defined midcentury American play: the Frisbee flying disc (licensed from Fred Morrison in 1957), the Hula Hoop (1958), the Super Ball (1965), the Slip 'N Slide (1961), and the Hacky Sack. Wham-O has been sold several times since the 1980s and continues to manufacture and license its original product lines. Supreme's collaboration with Wham-O produced Box Logo versions of the Frisbee and Super Ball.

Questions
Is the Supreme x Wham-O Savior Frisbee just the regular Wham-O Pro Classic Frisbee?
The Supreme x Wham-O Savior Frisbee, released in Spring/Summer 2021, is based on the Wham-O Pro Classic Frisbee. Supreme collabs sometimes change the colorway or materials; the description on this page covers the original's specs and any notable differences in the Supreme version. If you want the product without the box logo, the Wham-O Pro Classic Frisbee is the one to buy.

No — Supreme priced this one below the original's retail: the Supreme x Wham-O Savior Frisbee sold for $24, while the Wham-O Pro Classic Frisbee lists at $24.99.
