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.

Supra issued a three shoe pack?! Alert the media! Oh wait, that’s us, and we have indeed noticed a sharp increase in the tendency for the crown brand to drop three new kicks at the same time, all with the same construction and colors. The latest is unique for its use of a waxed twill material on the upper of three black models, the Supra Skytop, Society Mid and Wrap all employing white soles and tongue branding for the simplest of contrasts. These are infinitely versatile and in stores now at Supra retailers including their own e-store.

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.

The Skytop II offered an obvious homage to the Air Jordan VI through its use of a distinct looped tongue, but could even the Skytop II claim to be more like the AJ6 than the Supra Pilot? Particularly in this ‘Oreo’ colorway, it’s easy to see how the Pilot borrowed lines from the AJVI’s groundbreaking design, even despite the fact that they don’t strongly favor the total effect from the original model by that name. They’re part of Supra’s Royal Collectoin and are joined by another pair in red along with tonal black suede/leather Skytops and Wraps. Rounding out the set is a Cuban lowtop with a nautical printed canvas upper, and you can see all of these after the jump, then go grab a pair from retailers like Atlanta’s Wish.
