If it were VF-owned Vans and not Supra coming through with this latest style, they might be suited to a ‘Buddy Lee’ nickname. It was the iconic Lee Jeans spokes-puppet who’s forever connected with the phrase “Can’t Bust Em’”, a concept that connects with both the colors and tagline for the Supra Society ‘Bunker’. A patriotic palette arriving in time for the summer season, this Raptor TUF Society is a good example of how to rock the USA colorway without going full on Stars and Bars, so check them out up close below, then grab a pair straight from Supra.

Fresh off the first women’s colorway, the Supra Society super-hightop is back with another snakeskin look, this time for men. This pair utilizes one of the Crown brand’s favorite colorways by going tonal black/grey on the upper plus a purple sandwich of sole and sockliner. The rear panel gives us the namesake snake texture, but with this print atop a canvas material, it’s less flashy than your average iridescent reptile scales. This Year of the Snake Society is depicted further for your viewing pleasure after the jump, then you can buy them straight from Supra.

Supra continues to use surnames to tag its latest releases, but unlike the few that immediately preceded it, this one doesn’t have even an indirect tie-in with sports or pop culture. The Supra Society ‘Garrett’ probably isn’t a tribute to the house mom from Facts of Life or the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond (could it possibly be a subtle nod to Dallas Cowboys coach Jason’s ginger locks?), but with a fluorescent orange liner peeking out from all angles around the charcoal Satin TUF upper, it is most definitely a style that deserves to be re-run. Let us know how these compare to the similarly-lined Falcon that also just hit retail, then grab yours straight from Supra.

Supra launched its women’s footwear line last July, a collection that has to date been anchored by Chad Muska’s original Skytop. Today we see more variety added to the catalog, as Terry Kennedy’s even hightop-er signature arrives in a new colorway that’s sure to attract attention from dudes in the 1.5-up range. This new Supra Society for women utilizes a bold snakeskin upper, adding select metallic gold accents opposite black canvas for a look that’s timely, organic and ever so slightly flashy. Take a closer look so you can compare this scaly style to the sequined A-Morir Skytops, then grab yours straight from Supra.

The latest collaboration from Supra comes from one of co-founder Angel Cabada’s close personal friends. The Retna x Supra Society resembles the graffiti around Los Angeles from this artist whose varied cultural background informs a unique sensibility LA MOCA director Jeffery Deitch described as “The best art . . . past, present and future combined.” The handstyle covering this black suede Society is in fact Retna’s own take on ‘SUPRA’, and the proceeds of his latest work will benefit the Plaza de la Raza community center that provides the Lincoln Heights neighborhood with art education. Click through to see how red and blue accents further the high-contrast vibe and be ready for the 413-pair limited run to arrive this Saturday, February 9th at Supra’s own retail spots including Factory 413 LA where Retna will attend a special in-store event.

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.

Just who the heck is this ‘Wyland’ fellow and what’s his goal here? Is he an ’80s baby with a penchant for the vibrancy of golden era throwbacks, or is this new Supra hightop’s vibrant red sockliner really more of a ‘South Beach’ pink? Does Wyland ride even exist, much less ride for the Crown brand in this new Supra Society? Whatever the explanation behind the nickname on this latest Terry Kennedy hightop, the resulting black suede design looks great thanks to its select high-energy hits. Check them out in some more photos after the jump below, then grab yours straight 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.
