Check out the huge selection of Supra Footwear that will be arriving to us July/August! Just giving you guys a heads up on the exact shoes that we have ordered from the Autumn/Winter range.

As you can see quite a varied selection of low cut skate shoes, midtops and hightops. The range includes Pro Model Shoes designed with the aid of direct input from some of Supra's top team skaters. The use of certain materials, shoe construction, protection and cut are all taken into consideration according to the individual skaters style and experience of what works and what doesn't!

Supra TUF is a new range of shoes for Autumn/Winter 2008. The shoes are made with performance grade and abrasion resistant materials, tried, tested and approved by Supra's team skaters Chad Muska, Erik Elllington, Antwuan Dixon and Tom Penny.

"I Normally go through my shoes within 2-3 days of skating them....I skated these for 3 weeks and still couldn't bust through them." - Erik Ellington commenting on the Diablo - TUF Black Shoe.

"In 20 years of skating, I've never had the upper outlast the rubber sole.... until I skated these." - Chad Muska on his Supra TUF editions of the Skytop and Skylow Shoes.

If you are interested in any of the shoes shown above, then head to our site where you can view each of the individual shoes due into us within the next couple of months. Simply enter your email address next to the specific shoe and size to recieve an email the second the shoes go online! Never again will you miss out!

Key pieces to check are the colabs with two New York Legendary artists, Haze and Futura. The Stussy X Haze Chisel t-shirt is a fairly understated affair with a Haze penned Stussy tag across and down the chest. The Futura colab is a whole different animal with multiple Futura artwork, spheres, tagged text printed front, back, sides, all over. Check the Stussy X Futura Solar T-Shirt here..

The super skull is a nice departure from the usual big and bold Stussy design..a nice large scale, subtle cyan blue illustrated skull.

Also with the guys at Deadly Serious they've managed to broker a good deal with Green Apple Tree on import so these t-shirts are all coming in at £24.50, so for an import, US street wear brand, and one of the good ones to boot its a pretty sweet price.

Check out Gravis' latest collaborational shoe, as they team up with The Hooves Army!

Its been kept pretty quiet up until now but the guys behind this super limited hi-top boot are none other than Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame and Nick Raskulinecz producer to bands such as Death Angel, Trivium, Thornley, Marilyn Manson, Fireball Ministry, Shadows Fall, Rush, Danzig, Velvet Revolver and of course the Foo Fighters.

After a long discussion the two realized that the true metalhead really had no core shoes to wear. Everything up until this point was borrowed from one scene or another. So, they decided it was time for their scene to have a shoe of it’s own.

"We wanted to create a shoe that fit the [metal] lifestyle, you know? We’ve always had to borrow from others when it came to comfortable sneakers. It just wasn’t right," says Nick, co-founder of HOOVES.

This Gravis X Hooves Shoe, appropriately named 'The Beast', was created due to the lack of sneaker offerings for core metal heads and has been solely produced to capture the metal lifestyle with its overall style and design.

The shoe features a deathly black leather upper, red pentagram logo detailing and a skeletal design insole and outer sole. The shoe is also packaged in a coffin style shoebox plus a 'Toe tag' is attatched as a label!

With only 400 pairs available within Europe, the Shoe is super limited! Stock is due to us here within the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

In the meantime you can visit our Gravis page and REGISTER YOURSELF by simply entering your e-mail address on the appropriate size. This way you will be notified automatically via e-mail as soon as the product arrives in to us!

You can also check out Urban Industry's current range of Gravis Shoes right HERE...
