skytop III
Our experience of the Supra Skytop III
We’re chuffed because the long awaited Supra Skytop III has final landed on our shelves!
To start with we’ve got three colourways, and they are the TUF White, Black Nubuck and Grey Suede…..Red & Blue Suede will follow later in the season.
Right, so what are people saying this this hyped release?
The feedback we’re getting is nothing but good, all our customers have been extremely complimentary and have been snapping them up in big numbers.
It’s priced around £100 depending on the upper, but the extra comfort with the heel capsule, and the general build quality, people are more than willing to pay a premium price.
Regarding the looks people have picked out where Chad Muska might have gained his inspirations and that is in the direction of the Air Jordan 11 (Toebox), Air Jordan 6 Retro (Heel Pull), Nike Presto (Eyestay Ribs) and the Jordan 5 Retro (Top Eyelet).
I’m actually rockin’ the Black Nubuck and the fit is slighly narrower than a standard Supra Skytop, but the comfort is on another level. It’s so good!
The only questions left to answer how well they wear, will they handle the hectic city lives we all lead, or will they grow old disgracefully. We will be revisiting the Supra Skytop III in November to see whats happened!
If you see other sneakers within the Skytop III design, be sure to leave a comment.

Supra Skytop III
Supra released the original Skytop back in 2007, designed by Chad Muska. It quickly became an icon. Chad got back in the design studio with Josh Brubaker and they release the Supra Skytop II which was higher and more audacious that any other sneaker released by any brand. On paper this was a strong silhouette, but in reality the demand didn’t match the expectation.
Now we’re just a few weeks away from the release of the all new Supra Skytop III. This has bags of mid 1990′s flava and couples up design inspirations from the Air Jordan range, namely the Air Jordan 6, and Air Jordan 11.
This is a wearable mid top design and with a stitched cupsole and heel cushioning ouzies quality!
We’re stocking all the colourways of the Supra Skytop III, so hit up the Supra page in August to grab a pair.
