Streetwear imprint [Supreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/courtposite) joined [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-gold-colorway) SB to launch a new update on the label's signature football model, the [Gato](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gato-sneaker) sneakers. The original shoes were initially designed specifically for athletes but the affordable pricing drew in the attention of a wider market than intended. The sneakers are constructed from a soft calfskin leather material across the uppers. They also have a cushioned midsole for ultimate comfort and it all rests atop a gum outsole, rounded out with lens-printed side panels.

The newest iteration of the Gato sneakers are available in four colorways—red and yellow, dark and light blue, black and pink, and white and red—all of which boast branding details from both Supreme and Nike SB across the tongue tab and sides. There are the words "FAMOUS" and "WORLD" across the rear done through embroidery.
