Supra

With global warming taking over the US this year, my world is in need of some intense color. Being that fall and winter really bum me out, I'm always looking down rather than staring ahead, needless to say I trip a lot during these seasons.

How do I stay optimistic you ask? I buy some very fly kicks with lots of colors, like BAM! Reebok definitely brings the brightness I need to get me through the cold, long days; however I found a Swiffer like product to replace my sturdy mop. Introducing Supra. Most of you skate-heads probably have a grip of Supra gear stashed away in your closet and laundry baskets, so this introduction is for those of you that might not have caught on yet.

Started by Angel Cabada, (who worked with TSA for over a decade) the Supra shoe line launched in 2006. Investing 100k of his own cash, Cabada believed that his product was going to be the hyped-up, color wheeled kicks that the shoe industry needed. People in the industry laughed at the peril of another shoe company trying to give "Nike a run for their money;" and Cabada laughed all the way to the bank. Just 3 years after it's launch, Supra shoes are expo-ed on an international level, as well as on the golden feet of godly skaters like Chad Muska and celebs like Jay-Z, Weezie himself Lil' Wayne, and sexy crooner Justin Timberlake.

Cabada is also a partner in the KR3W line of clothing; cause shoes just aren't as great if your outfit is wack. What lacks in wackness is Supra's 2010 Spring release of shoes including the new Skytops and TK Society. You can find Supra at skate shops around the country and online. Peep them fast and buy them faster; these lines will blow off the shelves and out of virtual shopping carts before you know it.
