Spitfire
The skate wheel company with a cult-like following, Spitfire, has been blazing their trail since 1987. Founded by Jim Thiebaud, Spitfire sits among the top skate companies, with the famous logo and its expression reflecting the zeal and intensity the company brings to the skate world. Gaining global attention with their classic 1993 video debut, Spitfire was destined for success. Originally made for street cruising, Thiebaud had to be creative in its manufacturing. Made from a higher grade of polyurethane, Spitfire has remained a long-standing favorite of the pros, including skaters like Erik Ellington and Mark Gonzales. Due to its chip resistance and distinctive smoothness, the performance of Spitfire wheels remains unmatched. Coming in a wide variation of hardness ranging from 80 to 101, both street and park skaters swear by Spitfire's durability and grip. Recently, the popular Formula Four Radial and Conical wheels have illustrated why Spitfire is at the top. Besides making top-notch wheels, Spitfire also holds a widely successful clothing line, rife with collaborations like the Vans x Spitfire shoe, allowing skaters to rep Spitfire quality in all their accessories. So, whether you're carving up the concrete or grinding rails, Spitfire's got your back, letting you focus on what truly matters: the thrill of the ride.
