Can’t make it to Paris this weekend for the Supra Skytop II release at colette?  No problem.  Well, that is, if you’re a size 11.5.  The Chad Muska’s second signature Supra is set to drop on November 21 exclusively at France’s best sneaker boutique, but you can try your hand at this sample pair and use what you save on airfare for shipping and handling.  It appears that these were plucked from the colette set, so their ’sample’ status mostly reflects their yet-to-be-available status.  If you need some AJVI flavor in your Supras, cop these from D_Is_Rolling on eBay.

With that ‘MUSKA 002′ on the tongue, is Supra trying to tell us that Chad is as smooth as James Bond, or that they intend to extend the Skytop line into the triple digits?!  We’d have to lean toward the former of those two, though the new Supra Skytop II in metallic gold patent leather is flashier than anything the MGM franchise character ever wore.  They have a lightly pearlized finish that keeps the upper from blinding you, while black and white accents are pretty much the only thing stopping you from floating straight into the sun.  Cop this small sample pair in US men’s size 6, well in advance of their retail release from d_is_rolling on eBay.

With over 10 years of shredding, features in video games, and hustling to make a name for himself, it’s no wonder that Chad Muska’s signature Skytop shoe became such a success even in mainstream fashion.  Here we have the first street sighting of the new Skytop II, being worn by the man himself.  Known as the “Gradient” colorway, these will be a very limited release as part of the Supra World Tour.  Only 36 pairs were produced and only ten spots will be selling them, one of which will be Cali’s Factory413

Here is a look at a limited edition Supra Vaider in collaboration with the upcoming movie Armored, staring Laurence Fishburne and Matt Dillon. These movie-inspired sneakers use colors from the movie and use some interesting materials as well. The upper is made of a carbon fiber material that contrasts off a rich red lather heel panel, and what appears to be 3M reflective side panels. If these Vaiders catch your eye it will be a bit tricky to obtain a pair, due to the fact there are only 30 pairs being produced for the cast and crew of the film. via Freshness

In the 2+ years since its release, the Supra Skytop has benefited from alot of social proof, both direct (Jay-Z forced folks to take notice in Rhianna’s ‘Umbrella’ video) and indirect (Air Yeezy, RT1 and a plethora of other very-hightops led to a full-fledged trend).  For the sequel, another famous shoe set to re-release next year finds itself reappropriated.  However obvious the Air Jordan VI (6) inspiration for the tongue you see on this Supra Skytop 2, it’s clear that the next generation is pushing fashion forward.

With a mix of tonal greys, black and bright red, they have just a touch of that ‘Staple’ vibe, but the horizontal stripes on the side panels make these feel like a breath of fresh air.  600 individually-numbered pairs will drop on November 21st at Paris’ colette, where Chad Muska will be on hand to sign autographs.  Stick with Sneaker News for updates on the upcoming Supra Skytop 2.  via sneakerb0b

It’s amazing how the phenomenon of skate footwear has become an established facet of popular fashion.  And as skate brands have realized this trend and receieved the limelight we have seen a drastic evolution in what look exactly defines a skate shoe.  Supra and it’s popular model, Skytop, is a perfect example to this observation.  Transcending the beefy, stuffy, and typically cheap look of older skate shoes, the Skytop fits a much more slick and sophisticated look.  How would have thought skate footwear could look so classic enough to be able to get all dressed up with and hit the scene?  As part of the ‘09 Holiday collection, Supra provides even more colorways to the Skytop roster, making it even easier to fit whatever color arrangement you’re going for.  Either rocking leather, nubuck, and some even both, all of them sport simple colors making a powerful statement.  Choose from red/black or black/cyan, or a monochromatic look in the form of grey, white or black.  All available for the taking, good luck trying to narrow down what pairs to cop at Factory413.
