About the original
The Spitfire Formula Four Classic is a set of four urethane skateboard wheels with a slim riding surface and rounded edge, sold in 99a and 101a durometers and diameters running roughly 50 to 60mm. Spitfire, founded in San Francisco in 1987 and run by Deluxe Distribution ever since, introduced its Formula Four urethane in 2013; the 100% pure-urethane compound resists flat spots and holds speed longer than the formulas before it. The Classic shape gives a technical, predictable slide. Supreme has printed its co-branded graphics over Spitfire's Bighead-logo wheels across many seasons — the box logo goes on the same wheels sold at every skate shop.
About Spitfire
Spitfire Wheels is an American skateboard wheel manufacturer founded in 1987 in San Francisco by Jim Thiebaud and Tommy Guerrero under the Deluxe Distribution umbrella. The brand's flaming-head logo was drawn by artist Kevin Ancell. Spitfire's Formula Four urethane, released in 2014, became a standard pour for street and park skating, and the brand's Classic and Conical shapes remain catalog staples. Spitfire sits alongside Thrasher, Real, and Anti Hero in the Deluxe family of San Francisco skate labels. Supreme has collaborated with Spitfire on co-branded wheels, apparel, and accessories over many years.
