Now, these Supra Skytops are a bit special!
Great colouways, but maybe a little bit Carlas Fandango for some peeps out there…but we think they’ll look sweet with good denim.
The Skytops do come in more subtle colourways, but these are much more interesting.
They cost around $100 or £70

Here we have another quality signature shoe from Es.

We received a very polite comment on the previous DVS x HUF post requesting images of the Purple Safari colourways and here they are.
Cracking colourways, particulairly lovin the grey safari heel patch and the purple suede toebox/eyestay area on the Huf 5 Low.
It’s True…We love collabs here at ToeBox. They have totally invigorated the market. Now sneakers are being designs by artists and not designers. Don’t get us wrong, we’ve got nothing against designers but the brand managers hold them on a short leash and their creativity is muted. Having artists involved means there’s much more flexibility and better, more creative designs are hitting our streets!
Skate brand DVS have let HUF (San Francisco) loose to design a couple of new models. The Huf 5 Runner & Huf 5 Low.
They’re not your typical skate shoe, but they do have mass a appeal look and DVS will benefit from that.
What came first?..was it the Adiskate or the Etnies Dasit?
Mmmm, we don’t know and we’ll probably never know the truth, so here the Dasit spec…
The Etnies Dasit punches well above its weight with classic vulcanised construction and all the technical features you’d expect from an A-list skate shoe. Leather upper with Etnies E logo, perforated toecap, padded tongue and a STI foam footbed, so very good for skating!
