If there’s any one sneaker company with a particular affection for themed releases it has to be Supra, with the Crown Brand constantly cranking out two and three pair packs that are unified in their overall aesthetic. With that being said it seemed pretty obvious that they wouldn’t let Valentines Day go without pumping out some sneakers to go along with that special day in the middle of February. And they are indeed delivering in the form of the Love Pack, at three part collection that includes the Cuttler Low, the Society Mid, and the Skytop. The full range of heights keeps things versatile, each one coming with a crackled blood red upper with their signature TUF finish applied. Follow us after the jump for a look at all three and grab the Love Pack from Supra online now.

This year’s Valentine’s-themed “Heartbreaker” from Supra takes the form of the towering Society silhouette. Built with an upper crafted from red suede and Express TUF canvas, the shoe sits on a black vulcanized sole with white foxing adorned with red stripes. Additional details include complementary white pinstripes at the back of the collar, plus a red broken-heart graphic on each pitch-black footbed. A custom broken-heart hang tag finishes the look. The production run on the Society Heartbreaker II is limited to just 413, with each pair individually numbered. Look for them to land on February 11th exclusively at Factory 413, Supra NYC and online.
Release Date: February 11th, 2012 (Saturday)

Supra presents a video profile of team rider Spencer Hamilton. Spencer explains his still developing career trajectory, from first hearing about Supra in 2006 and subsequently meeting the team — as he describes them, “all the biggest heads” — when they stopped in during a Canadian tour for a signing at the skate shop where he worked. Cut to present day, in which Spencer finds himself in London to sit for the team photo, surrounded by guys he once looked up to and now counts as peers. The otherworldly talent on display is enough to have Spencer believing in aliens. Check out the video after click.

Supra presents the Passion of the Lizard King. No, not a Martin Scorsese-directed biopic about Doors frontman Jim Morrison. The vulcanized Passion mid top is the Lizard King’s new signature shoe, featuring a unique padded canvas flap along the collar for extra support, plus Suprafoam midsole for shock absorption, flex and board feel. The desert boot-inspired shoe is dressed in a suede upper with clean, simple lines, making it versatile enough to wear when not rolling on polyurethane wheels. Moccasin-like stitch detail at the heel finishes the look. The Passion is available now in black or royal blue styles at Supra retailers and online.

“NYC Magic” is the aptly titled video from Supra and TransWorld Skateboarding chronicling the Supra team’s trip to New York last year. Shot by Chris Thiessen, Richard Quintero and Dennis Martin, the seven-minute clip shows the guys exploring the city’s skate parks and concrete canyons (not to mention graffiti-riddled rooftops). You’ll spot team riders Chad Muska, Neen Williams, Erik Ellington, Keelan Dadd, Spencer Hamilton, Kevin Romar, Furby, Jim Greco, Stevie Williams, Matt Mumford, Boo Johnson and Ben James. They’re the featured players in a video montage filled with a steady procession of high-flying tricks set against the unmistakable New York backdrop. Check it out after the click.

Supra has never been shy about their influences, frequently dipping into the DNA of other footwear brands for homage colorways as well as design elements here and there. So when the skate brand flips the script and puts together a running sneaker, you’d expect the inspiration to be evident. Such is not the case as the brand new Supra Owen manages to stand on its own, a sleek runner with quite the minimalist look coming from a brand that has long boasted the highest of high-tops. It’s no slouch on the tech end either, coming with a super lightweight mesh/nylon upper and a EVA outsole. Follow us after the jump to get a better look at the Supra Owen in all of its debut colorways. via Sneaker Freaker

It was more than a mere sneaker release this past Saturday when Supra unleashed the all reflective Just Blaze x Supra Skytop II. Instead, the mega-producer joined friend and families for for a birthday bash at Supra’s New York City flagship also.

And thanks to non-stop spins from Young Guru and DJ Soul, documentation by the one and only Mel D. Cole, and ginormous sneaker-cake in the likeness of the Just Blaze x Supra Skytop II, the party continued on to the late evening hours.
