For Black Friday, Supra is releasing the exclusive Supra Skytop III Stealth sneaker.

The new Supra Skytop III Stealth is decked out in an [all-black colorway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelyeti-tokyo-hi-gtx) that depends on the contrasting materials and design to highlight the sneaker. The upper is constructed from "[military grade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xt4-og-3)" block stitch TUF, which basically implies that this is more than durable. One of the highlight features that I particularly like is the TPR strap that blends in nicely with the meshed material. Other details include a night vision-inspired insole and the Stealth Bomber hangtag, which is a nod to the military-inspired theme as well as the name of the sneaker.

The Supra Skytop III Stealth is [limited to just 413 pairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanta-black) with each numbered for authenticity. The release date will be November 25.
