Supra Assault – Summer 2013 Colorways

Aaron Hope — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:00:38 +0000

It’s been a while since we’ve detailed a new Supra Assault release here on Sneaker News, so here are three new styles for the warm season. We’ll start with the caramel leather edition, whose corded laces, metal eyelets and textile tongue combine to convey a sense of rugged luxury, like a high-end workboot. There’s a black suede edition with a white/gum sole that offers one of quintessential skate shoe colorways and a third in light grey chambray for a seasonally light and springy feel. All solid options, all depicted further below, all yours for the taking from Supra.

Supra Assault ‘Polka’

Aaron Hope — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 18:00:08 +0000

Polka dots rose to prominence in 19th century British fashion and apparently have that name only because of their simultaneous spike in popularity with the dance by that same name. The accordion music with which it’s associated is energetic and whimsical, kind of like the pattern presented on this new Supra Assault ’Polka’ lowtop. Tiny white circles dot the navy blue upper, which along with white laces and soles ties this two-toned design together quite nicely. Inspect them more closely in additional photos below and grab yours straight from Supra.

Supra Trill Pack

The concept of ‘trill’ finds itself somewhere at the intersection of ‘keeping it real’ and ‘being true (to yourself)’, and is more associated with hip-hop superstar sneakerhead Bun B than any other individual. Bun is a known Jordanhead, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Jays are the only ‘trill’ kicks out there, an assertion Supra looks to test with their latest three-pack. The new Supra Trill Pack takes its name from the waxed black twill that makes up the uppers of the Supra Society Mid, Assault and Cuttler, each of which adds red eyelets and lining to approach that classic Air Jordan vibe. Click through to see all three and if you find them congruent with your personal brand, pick up a pair straight from Supra.

Supra Plus Pack

Supra continues to add to their summer of packs, this newest trio adorned in an all-over print of the symbol that most concisely represents the addition. The Supra Plus Pack applies white crosses to the navy blue canvas uppers of the Supra Cuttler, Assault and Belay. Like pretty much all of the crown brand’s releases of late, these are unified in their use of a white vulc sole, and all of them are available now at select Supra stockists. Click through to see some more images and let us know how these compare to the plethora of packs we’ve seen from Supra this summer.

Supra 2-Tone Pack

The summer of 2011 will be remembered by Supra fans as the point in history when the brand became a bunch of ‘pack rats’, issuing a huge variety of theme-unified releases, usually in packs of three. The trend continues today, following on the heels of the Red and 3M Packs comes the new Supra Two-Tone Pack, a set of three lowtops in a study of tonal brown suede. Each pair of the Supra Wrap, Assault and Belay lows opt for a sandy brown rear, darker brown on the front, black on the laces and tongue and white soles to finish the clean yet efficient look. Click through to see more angles and look for these now at Supra and their retailers.

Supra Nautical Pack

When some of Supra’s fall 2011 hit the Atlanta boutique Wish at the end of last month, among the releases was the Cuban lowtop with an all-over nautical print. Their chambray uppers appeared grey in those stylized images, but with a more neutral setting and in the context of the two other pairs now alongside, it’s clear that each of the members of the Supra Nautical Pack are indeed a soft blue with navy piping and white accents. Along with the Cuban, we get one new Supra Cuttler midtop and the Assault low, and they’re available now from select Supra stockists including their own e-store.

Supra ‘Navajo Pack’

Aaron Hope — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 08:00:47 +0000

What would happen if Nike Sportswear made an AC-version of the Big Nike High, complete with deconstructed build and an extra dose of attitude? It’d probably look something like the Supra Cuttler, a sleek hightop that occupies the space where the skateboarding and lifestyle sneaker venn diagram converges. This latest Cuttler colorway first popped up in our preview of Supra’s ‘Black and White’ pack around the turn of the year, but the ‘Navajo’ nickname fits its angular high-contrast pattern a bit better even if that’s an accurate description of the palette. Joining this new Cuttler is a pair of what can be seen as its lowtop counterpart, the Assault, plus the skate-oriented Skytop II. Click through to get a better look and grab ‘Navajo’ Cuttler and Assaults today from Bows & Arrows Berkeley, who’ll have the Skytop II shortly.
