Supra Chad Muska Skytop high tops

Back to work with the blues after a scoarching back holiday? Well, here’s something to cheer you up, the new Supra skytop high top trainers from Supra footwear. These skytops feature some really nice material application utilizing the ever glamorous faux croc in black coupled with a luxurious black suede. Not an outrageous colourway for a Supra skytop or for supra that matter. however, the back to basics black upper with white vulcanized outsole caught our eye.

This skytop some how sparkled at us from the sea of colour in the rest of the supra line for this season. Maybe it’s that with all the colour around at the moment what made us sit up and take notice was this trainers modest simplicity and subtle detail. Or, maybe it was something else…. either way well done Supra footwear on yet another banging skytop colourway!
