Hip-Hop High Tops

The Supra x Just Blaze Skytop II Sneakers are Seriously Swagged Out

— January 5, 2012 — Fashion
Fans of hip-hop music are familiar with the musical styles of acclaimed producer Just Blaze, but they may not know about his endeavor into the sneaker game, resulting in the Supra x Just Blaze Skytop II high tops. Just Blaze continues the hip-hop/shoe collaboration trend made popular by Kanye West, Jay-Z and Swizz Beatz.

The storied relationship between hip-hop and fashion has a rich history, from Adidas track suits and shoes made famous by Run-DMC to Kanye West's love of Louis Vuitton and Givenchy. Another chapter is added to this affair with the release of the Supra x Just Blaze Skytop II sneakers. The beatmaker collaborated with Supra for this limited edition Skytop, with only 413 pairs manufactured. The charcoal gray is offset with purple accents (a popular color combo used by Supra) and and eggshell white sole.

Customers who purchase the kicks at the New York City Supra flagship store will receive a VIP invitation to a Supra NYC event which will be attended by Just Blaze.
