You might expect a red, white and blue palette in line with the Phillies and Sixers, possibly an Eagles lean or maybe even Fliers Halloween costumes, but for some reason, Philadelphia native Stevie Williams seems obsessed with the Sacramento Kings’ colors. S-Dot’s first Supra sneaker was a purple cracked leather Vaider accompanied by another in that style with blocking quite similar to the above pictured release. And this also makes two black/purple styles for the Supra S1W, a robust midtop skate design with a cored-out SUPRAFOAM cupsole for the perfect blend of comfort and cushioning. Have a closer look below, let us know how the Kings-ish colorup compares to the turquoise-accented greys and grab them today straight from Supra.

Just last week, Sneaker News gave you a look at the first two pairs of the new Stevie Williams Supra signature hightop. Just a few short days and the number of available styles has tripled, so let’s take another look at the Supra S1W, a model described as a “Classified, covert technology combined with clandestine design” for ‘Soldier of Fortune’ Stevie Williams. S-Dot now has six different colorways of his first Supra sig, and thanks to the unique side-gill look we’ve seen on each of the Skytop models, there’s no way you’d ever mistake these for a DGK x RBK release. Click through to see more of Stevie Williams‘ S1W, let us know which palette is most pleasing and grab yours from Supra or one of their many retailers.

Stevie Williams is a skateboarding renaissance man. Dude started riding at age eleven, so after he mastered the griptape early on, Williams started Dirty Ghetto Kids, opened a couple of skate shops, collaborated with Reebok on an entire DGK line and later teamed up with Alife. Stevie even contributed to the design on Jordan Brand’s Flipsyde skate shoe, but none of those partnerships has endured like his own label. We could see that changing in the future, though, now that Williams has aligned himself with the most successful new skate brand of the past two decades: Supra. Following up on the Vaider ‘PEs’ from last winter is the first Stevie Williams Supra signature, the Supra S1W set to release next Tuesday, July 2nd. Check out the first two colorways below, let us know how they compare to the other established Crown brand silos and grab yours from Factory 413.

He has a higher profile than all but the very top of Supra‘s roster thanks to owning the DGK label, but Stevie Williams’ first Supra signature sneakers are special colorways instead of his own personal pro model. The Supra Vaider Mid has released in three Stevie-selected colorups, the final of which is this purple cracked leather getup whose tonal upper design adds a black sockliner just in time for Jimmer Fredette’s Sacramento Kings debut. Will these appeal to skaters and sneakerheads outside the California capital? If so, you’ll find them at select skate shops around the country along with the other two Stevie Williams Vaiders.

” . . . Having a tool to make sure you can get to wherever you want to go . . . that’s skateboarding.”
For a guy who founded a company called Dirty Ghetto Kids, Stevie Williams‘ latest sneaker collaboration is quite clean. Having worked with Reebok and ALIFE over the past few years, Williams has moved over to the crown brand and now the Stevie Williams signature Supra Vaider collection is ready to hit retailers. Three new colorways range from tonal grey or purple to one Sac Kings-like purple and black combo; are the designs on point or should Stevie get his own true signature model? Click through to see a preview video plus several additional images and look for these at select Supra stockists.
