Supra Footwear & Clothing Shop

Supra footwear is one of the world's most popular brands that have successfully penetrated both the skate and lifestyle markets over the years. While the primary goal was to create awesome shoes for skateboarders, many fans of streetwear, music and footwear (in general) have caught on.

Founded in 2006 by Angel Cabada and Scott Bailey, together with pro skateboarders Chad Muska and Erik Ellington, Supra was originally an 'underground idea' among themselves. However, word travelled fast and their project became known amongst skaters and footwear aficionados in the Southern California area. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The brand is recognised for innovative design aesthetics, distinct material combinations, and vibrant colour palettes - all of which allowed the company to reach a very broad audience worldwide. Currently, Supra operate flagship stores in New York City, Santa Monica, Mexico City, Tokyo and Paris. They also have distributors in over 60 countries via select skate shops and premium boutiques were they sell Supra footwear for men, women and kids.

Supra have a great list of skateboarders as their brand ambassadors. These include Chad Muska, Dane Vaughn, Erik Ellington, Jim Greco, Lizard King, Lucien Clarke, Spencer Hamilton, Tom Penny, Oscar Candon, Dee Ostrander, and Sascha Daley.

Over the years, Supra have collaborated with numerous artists, skaters and other brands which resulted to very unique footwear designs that made headlines in the skate and street fashion worlds.

The owners may have changed, but they are still continuing their legacy of designing innovative and stylish footwear. Their collection of high tops, low tops, skate shoes and trainers for men, women and kids are topnotch and deserve a space in your (and your family's) wardrobe.
