Just because Lil Wayne turned the VMA’s into a Supra fashion show, let’s not forget the main reason Supra is on top right now–their skate team is stacked! In fact, Supra doesn’t even call it a team; it’s a crew–Erik Ellington, Jim Greco, Terry Kennedy, Chad Muska, Antwuan Dixon, Furby and Tom Penny–yes, that is one tight crew. Pictured above is the new red/white/black colorway of Tom Penny’s pro model shoe, the Sport, which is featured in Furby’s first ad. Expect this fireball to be hitting Supra retailers soon.
As the Nike Skateboarding seasons come and go, we have some hit or miss sneakers. Now thanks to NikeSB.org, we have images of Nike SB’s upcoming Summer 2009 season.
