The Supra Owen is the Crown brand’s first running sneaker, a departure for this brand that’d heretofore focused its energies on the skateboarding scene. It’s a risk that’s paying dividends as sneakerheads and casual buyers alike come to recognize the potential for lightweight and breezy summer comfort coming from this ‘unlikely’ source at a wholly reasonable price point. The Owen is back for summer with two new colorways, one a ‘Sport Blue’-inspired answer to March’s OG Air Max 1-inspired release, the other closer to the kinds of styles we saw in 2010′s Air Attack Pack thanks to the subtle use of purple accents on an otherwise black base. Check out both in greater detail below, then grab yours straight from Supra.

Though given the same name as their new Vintage Cuttler, Supra introduces a new colorway of their Vaider sneaker – dubbed the “Ash.” Instead of using the Burnt Orange that was previously associated with the colorway, the Vaider is done in Blue and White. Perforated leather covers the White upper, with Blue seen on the tongue, eyelets and heel tab. Check for these now world wide at Supra retailers and online. via: SF
When will Supra bring out the seemingly inevitable Skylow 3? We’ve seen lowtop versions for each of Chad Muska’s first two Crown brand signatures, but given that the second one just arrived a couple months back, we’ll probably be waiting on the 3s for a good while. Good news, then, that a new Supra Skylow 2 has just released, and even better once you take a look at the unique color scheme and material combination in use on this ‘Vintage’ Skylow 2. These hearken back to a simpler time in sneaker design with their tonal blue mix of canvas and an extra nappy suede, while select citrus accents push this ocean blue look toward a tropical finish. Check them out in greater detail below, then grab yours straight from Supra.

Anyone else still waiting for the Weezy x Supra collaboration to drop? Until then we’ll have to make due with the inline releases, not that there’s anything wrong with that given the Crown Brand’s typically strong theme driven designs. This latest duo of navy and black sneakers keeps up with the high bar they’ve set, with the Supra Skytop III pairs shown both taking on a redone version of their signature TUF stuff up top. Make sure you hit the jump for the complete look at both and if you like what you see then head over to Supra’s online spot to get either for yourself now.

We typically associate Supra with its famously towering silhouettes (e.g., the Skytop, Skytop II, and Society, listed in order of altitude), but the brand is capable of sneaker styles on the other end of the spectrum. The low-profile Cuttler is a prime example, the latest colorway of which is finished in an appealing vintage orange hue. The tonal upper is constructed from a combination of canvas and suede, with contrast white laces and white rubber foxing around the vulcanized sole. Hits of blue on the foxing stripe, Supra logo heel tab and the interior of the tongue finish the look. The Supra Cuttler Vintage is in stock now at Supra retailers and online.
Supra presents the Block pack, made up of two colorways of the brand’s popular third-gen Skytop. The cupsole-equipped shoe has a build featuring a new coated canvas TUF upper, a lightweight yet durable material finished in either a navy blue or black hue. Both styles have contrasting white TPR cages, white heel pulls and white accents throughout. A white rubber outsole with high-traction pattern, complemented with a navy blue or black EVA midsole, rounds out the details. The Skytop III “Block” pack is in stock now at Supra retailers worldwide, as well as the brand’s online store.
Available alongside the black colorway of the Supra Skytop III “Block” is this navy makeup.
This time covered in coated navy canvas, the kicks once again sport white accents on the outsole, molded TPR cage, eyestay, heel, heel pull tab and tongue.
Retailing for 5, you can pick these up now from Supra retailers worldwide.
Supra has been busy with the packs so far this year, releasing a consistant supply of small capsules focused on a single theme across a set of silhouettes. The Supra Bally Pack released in April saw the Cuttler Low, Skylow, and Vaider in a mesh and leather upper with one predominant colorway. For the Native Pack we have the Skytop III and the Pilot all done up in an extremely smooth – almost waxy – lux suede that is a new material for the brand, which pops with a strong red and blue contrast whose placement is reversed across the two models. White cross-hatch foxing makes its way around the midsole, finished with a red outsole. Follow us after the jump for a full look at the sneakers from the Native Pack, available now at Supra.
Supra has been giving nicknames to everything that’s come down their pike for the past year or so, but here’s a case where the moniker denotes more than just a vague concept or color scheme. The Supra Pilot ’Native’ comes with an Atlanta Braves-like two-toned upper that’s made up of their new super-smooth Lux suede. This material appears even less nappy than nubuck for an almost waxy appearance, while a woven texture on the white vulc sole beneath furthers the connection to the indigenous theme. Check these out up close below, let us know how Lux suede compares to the various TUF textures and cop your ‘Native’ Pilots straight from Supra.
