Supra TUF Muska Skytop

According to the guys at www.supratuf.com these new Supra TUF Skytops are made from high abrasive genuine suede based material that last 5 times longer than your average skate trainer. Since mine usually last a couple weeks of heavy shredding I cleverly calculated that it would take 10 weeks to fully test these badboys and I quite simply don’t have that much time so we’re just gonna have to take their word on that one.

I had a pair of the grey/black/red Muska Skytops (picture) to try out. You can’t help feeling like your something special when your wearing them. I found myself looking down and feeling extra specially cool, kinda how the Muska must feel all the time. You would think that skating in a high top would be weird or awkward but they skate just like a regular low top – if not better. The vulcanised sole gives you great board feel and the innersole has some sort of thick shock pad so no heel bruises when your jumping off of buildings. I’m not sure what the actual material is they make the shoes out of but they skate just like suede. Kickflips roll off the toe and no matter how many i did there was barely a scratch. My feet felt pretty invincible, as if my ankles couldnt be rolled or toes bashed by my board. I skated in them for a good 4 weeks and i gotta say they are still looking fresh and theres barely a mark on the toe and the soles are still holding up. There’s still a lot of life left in them.

So, if your looking for a shoe that looks amazing, outlasts a few skateboards and makes you as cool as the Muska then this is definately the one for you. Oh, and like every other Muska pro model trainer there’s a stash pocket in the tongue for your dank nugz or whatever…
