I don’t know about you but i am booooooooooooooaaaard of hi tops. Maybe it is because I live in the UK and it is positively towny nowadays, but this look is getting a little old and predictable…. never the less Supra are pushing on with a niche that they have carved pretty deep for them selves and if anyone can give longevity to the hi top phenomenon then it is them!

Here’s what Supra had to say on the release: “As the third installment in Chad Muska’s groundbreaking, and now classic, line of SUPRA footwear, the SKYTOP III is being hailed as the most stylistically and technologically advanced offering in the collection thus far. The SKYTOP III continues the tradition of fusing skate with fashion, but in a slightly lower profile. The shoe features a molded TPR cage highlighted by lines that hearken back to the original SKYTOP. This version offers a modern rubber cup sole with full-length, blown EVA throughout the forefoot and heel. The skate sensitive areas are reinforced with rubber sidewalls. Inside the shoe a fully enclosed mesh booty provides breathable support and increased comfort. Lift the footbed to discover the removable EVA pod with an encapsulated air pocket that provides extra heel impact protection. The tread pattern was carefully designed to give greater flexibility and increased board feel. And, finally, in keeping with Muska tradition, there’s a stash spot behind the tongue. Or, as Chad himself simply described the SKYTOP III, “It’s part tech runner and part basketball shoe, mixed in with the lines of the original SKYTOP.” Initial offerings at launch are available in white (Gunny TUF), grey (suede), red (suede), and black (nubuck).”

So the mod look is back and back with a vengance… Stussy Deluxe has come together with classic british fashion label Fred Perry to create a unique blank canvas collection that celebrates British and 1970s American sports heritage and design.

The iconic Fred Perry shirt has been emblazoned with the established date of each brand, printed on the back in the style of a team players jersey. Also, on the summer sports influenced footwear style the Byron, fabrication includes mesh and tipping rib, for a fresh seasonal twist. Spacious holdalls and traditional barrel bags have been created in fine canvas and leather, sitting alongside a British made striped webbing belt in a new foray into accessories.

According to Stussy “The result is a collection that builds on traditional sports details to create something perfectly at home in a contemporary streetwear arena. Fashions may come and go, but style is timeless.” We like this collab and it is very on trend currently, especially if you are Stussy fan hailing from Manchester!
