Black / Gum Love

I love these, black upper with gum soles are just too nice, the Supra Skytop 'Wino' are based on the cheap plimsoles worn by the homeless in LA. And the Nike Blazer is a new version not a low but rather a cut off blazer high which when I first saw it wasn't my cup of tea but this colorway sets it off perfectly...

Skytop II - Cinco De Mayo

Cinco de Mayo or Mexican Independence Day usually brings about inspired collaborations. This year is no different with Supra creating this special edition of its Skytop II. Only 200 pairs of the dubbed “Cinco de Drinko” were produced, Mexican Zarape textiles glow against the white leather uppers, available only through FACTORY 413 at 12pm tommorow, 5th May...

Supra Skytop II - All White

Reminds me of the NS Skytop 1 all white from 2 years back, Neil Armstrong would be proud...

Kr3w Footwear 2010

Supra's success has far surpassed that of its sister clothing company kr3w so it was enevitable we would see a footwear line from the brand at some point. Like Supra they use simple designs and quality materials that give a really nice look, I especially like my namesake Grant model, its a nice mid which benifits best from the grey/white colourscheme...

LOST Inspired....

LOST has been one of my favourite shows since it hitting our screens in 2004, now into its final season which aired yesterday in the US we see the series inspiring some footwear design.




Firstly Nike SB well known for taking concepts and spreading them liberally over their shoes, gives us the Dunk and Blazer Hi. The Dunk being driven by the Oceanic Airlines colour scheme and the Blazer based on the Dharma Iniative idea of stations on the island, this one being 'The Shoe', the canvas look is really nice on this one...



Then yesterday we saw the release of a Special Supra Vaider which the based on the Expose TV program which features throughout the Series' of LOST. The reason I love this shoe is because just like the series it has many hidden references to the show and even the release number of 17 pairs, is from the 14 episode of season 3 (14+3=17)...

Supra Skytop 2

I remember watching an element video and seeing Muska skating in the Skytop 1 and then spending the next 2 weeks trying to find out what they were and how I could get my hands on a pair, I felt the same when I saw these... These will see an exculsive release on the 21st with Muska in attendance at Collete...
