SUPRA SKYTOP The Supra Skytop is one of the most popular models within the Supra catalog, its name indicating the extreme height of the sneaker. The style has been successful both as a skate shoe and as a lifestyle sneaker, thanks in part to the endless pack themed colorways produced for this model by the Supra team.

Supra is without doubt the most successful new footwear brand of the past quarter-century, having launched back in 2006 and already risen to the heights of ‘major’ label status even as the recession pushed many transient names out of the streetwear market. And while the Crown brand has attracted much attention from young women with their footwear on stars like Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne, they’re only now offering a full ladies footwear line featuring feminine colors and patterns. The centerpiece is the A-Morir x Supra Skytop, the original flagship model worn by Jay-Z so many times in the early going, done in black and chrome sequins for a look not totally dissimilar from those pyramid stud glasses that won the net after Rihanna’s appearance in ‘Run this Town’. Elsewhere, you’ll find glitter, foil, metallic and embroidered embellishments, so click through to see the whole set and hit up Supra for yours today.

Sneaker Freaker’s ‘Goldenballs’ friends & family collabo is undoubtedly one of the most impressive Supra Skytop IIIs to date, but not to be outdone, Supra has offered up three new designs of their own. Chad Muska’s latest is available from the Crown brand’s e-store in a few new styles, and one in particular stands out above the pack. The Caramel Raptor TUF edition pictured above catches our eye both with its perforated base layer and a name that promises tenacity in the face of griptape abrasions. In the context of this ruggedized approach, despite the darker-than-wheat color, these are even truer to the Timberland inspiration famously appropriated on the original Muska Pro Model. Let us know how these compare when you click through to see the ‘Caramel’ Skytop III in greater detail after the jump below and stick with Sneaker News for the latest Supra release info.

While arguably Supra should have ‘rolled tide’ on these back in mid-January, there’s no doubting the visual appeal of their latest release. The new Supra Skytop ’Crimson’ pictured above has a color scheme and nickname that provides a natural fit for the recently crowned NCAA FBS National Champions. But even during a time when the Crown brand is clearly looking to the cultural calendar for help with its release schedule, these managed to stand on their palette alone. They’ve got the simple appeal that’s so popular right now, and after you inspect more images after the jump below you’ll find them available directly from Supra.

Supra built their brand by pushing the boundaries of hightop sneaker design and now two of the standouts are poised to enter the market with about the simplest construction you could imagine. And even with the Supra Society and original Skytop cast entirely in blue nylon with stripeless white soles, they manage to look perhaps even more striking than some of the more eccentric colorways. This is the kind of shoe you can spot from a quarter-mile down the road, so while its on-paper description isn’t all that crazy, you’ll most definitely turn heads with a ‘Cobalt Pack’ purchase from Supra.

Supra has utilized the calendar to flesh out many of its recent flurry of packed and otherwise themed sneaker releases, this latest one capitalizing on an event whose fluctuating date may have prevented a similar release last year. But now that the Crown brand is firmly entrenched in contemporary sneaker marketing and nomenclature, the new Supra Skytop and Society Mid can have a moment in the sun with these bright yellow ‘Peeps Pack’ build. Named after those marshmallow chicks that you can detonate with just a few quick seconds in the microwave, these yellow microfiber midtops nod toward the original Peeps color and are available now straight from Supra.

Seafaring sneaker themes have been growing in popularity with the success of models like CNCPTS’ stellar New Balance 999 ‘Kennedy’ and the general success of boat shoes (-inspired sneakers) in all corners of the fashion landscape. Supra has dabbled in aquatic themes ranging from all-over nautical prints to esoteric references to specific salmon breeds, and now their most direct use of a Neptune muse to date. The Supra Skytop ’Fishscale’ has a highly textured black leather build instead of the opalescent shades you might expect from the name, their aggressive scales the kind of thing that will catch your eye from afar and still have you staring up close trying to figure out exactly what you’re seeing. More photos follow the jump below, and you can find the Supra ‘Fishscale Pack’ available now at Kith.

Supra followed the rest of the industry when they started ‘packing up’ the majority of their new releases, but here’s a case where a colorway nickname totally took us by surprise with its finished product. The Supra Skytop ’Hornet’ might have you calling to mind images of the Crown brand’s various ‘Aqua’ and ‘Grape’-styled designs from a couple years back, but what they actually managed to do here is put a refreshing twist on the classic Charlotte/Nawlins color scheme. Instead of going the early ’90s route or opting for the updated version with its yellows and blues, this design strips away everything but a couple teal accents on an otherwise stark white and black background. Alongside the Skytop is the Vaider and the Stacks, all of which can be attained straight from Supra.

Supra’s TUF materials are among the best when it comes to dealing with the inevitable abrasions associated with skateboarding, but they might have managed to create a pack that looks even tougher by eschewing that stuff altogether. The Supra Skytop III ’Stress’ comes to us with a rugged black canvas construction whose heavy gauge weave is reminiscent of top-grade workwear. They don’t give that overwhelming Carhartt feel because of the black tones in use instead of the typical browns, but these do indeed have the look of a garment you can rely upon for years and years. A similarly constructed Skytop is also available now directly from Supra, and we’ve got more photos of both after the jump.
