Supra NS Skytop Burgundy

Supra seems to flood the market just as much as Lil Wayne these days; probably the reason why the two get along so well. Yesterday we reminded you to check for the Purple/Brown Vaiders, but if shiny patent leather is what you’re into, lock down this Burgundy Pack.

The set of three consists of a Strapped, Trinity, and Muska’s Skytop. Factory 413’s e-commerce shop has them now, with prices clocking in at $164 (Skytop), $168 (Trinity) and $172 (Strapped). Decisions, decisions, choose your favorite and get it HERE. Hit the jump for images of the other two sneakers from the pack.

Supra just shipped this latest purple/brown colorway of the Vaider, so expect it in West Coast shops this weekend, and on the East Coast early next week. According to the company site, the shoe has:

* High top upper with a vulcanized sole
* Extra heel protection molded into comfortable high memory polyurethane insole
* SupraFoam® midsole providing entire foot impact resistance, optimal shoe flex, and board feel
* New metal sliding tongue logo
* Ankle support
* PU leather lining
* BK mesh sock liner

All of that makes them comfortable, and skateable, but we all know you’re buying them because of Jay-Z.

Ding-dong: BS alert. We’re big fans of Supra over here at the BLVD but we’re a little too sharp to fall for the digital propaganda it’s pushing over at its website. The Cali-based skate brand posted this new colorway of this Skytop and made it a point to include that the sneaker was “limited and currently available at Zumiez.”

Limited anndddd at Zumiez? Oxymoron. According to wikipedia (the end-all-be-all for fact checking) there are over 300 Zumiez stores in 25 different states. That’s a lot of shelves, homies. We’re guessing you can find these pretty easily, but if you’re nervous you might miss out, run for the malls tomorrow.

Supra’s P.R team has proved to be pretty savvy. In addition to your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper always rocking a Skytop or Vaider, the brand is starting to figure out how this Internet game works.

Instead of waiting for some dude blogging from his basement to leak shitty pics of the Spring 2009 line, Supra put its full range on its site with proper information. Sorry socially-nervous sneaker bloggers you may win some, but you just lost one. Check some standouts from the new line below, then click here to see all the shoes dropping soon.

Sure Jay-Z may have rocked the Gold Skytops in Rhianna’s “Umbrella Video” but there’s no bigger co-signer of Supra than Bronx-bred rapper Mickey Factz.

In this exclusive SOLE Blvd interview, the Supra king speaks on people hating on him for wearing gold kicks, interaction with fans, and how he “assited in the branding of Supra.” Press play.

We’re not sure if Jim Greco is a badass, or just freakishly weird. The skater/rocker has always been a little left of center, and now he has shoes that fall right in line with his rep. Daily Drop points out that Greco’s most flashy make-up of his signature shoe just became available over at Factory 413. If you think you got the stones to pull them off, rock out with your laces out. Get them HERE for $125.

There have been a few posts today on the Sergio Rossi x Puma women’s shoes. They’re at Colette if you’re buying. Here’s an image we snagged of all three Clyde colorways.
