Supra Skytop 3 review

From top to bottom, Week 1 to Week 4


We posted the First Glance for the Supra Skytop 3 back in July and I never imagined that this review would be out 3 months later. Ideally, I wanted any review to be done within a 1-2 month period. The truth is, aside from being extremely busy, the Supra Skytop 3 has been one of the most difficult shoes we've reviewed yet. That's definitely not a back handed remark, the shoe just seems to be indestructible.

I won't spoil too much about the shoes performance before getting into the review but because of it's high grade of durability, I questioned myself on whether to extend the review any further than I had originally planned. The Supra Skytop 3 is a great example of the time, devotion and technology you should be expecting from your fellow skate brands. While taking a step forward in design and support, I feel like we, as an industry are stepping back in time where we test the standards and instead of sticking with what is safe and profitable, we go with whats risky and original. That, in my opinion, is truth essence of skateboarding. Let's get into the review.

The review was done using our month long format and the shoe was skated for a total of 20 hours. Check below after each section to view the grading system. We base our ratings from 1-10. 10 being the best and 1 being the absolute worst. Enjoy.

First Glance: Supra Skytop III


So, I have been twitting, facebooking and anything else I can think of to spread the word about this Supra Skytop III review. The only thing I haven't done is run around naked with the same idea written all over my body. Don't test me, I'm pathetically inclined to do so because I look like this. The Supra Skytop III is a strange and amazing review to get. Lets really analyze this.

If the review comes out to be as successful and amazing as I want it to be then AWESOME. And even if it does come out amazing, will you buy a pair? I don't know how much power I possess through this computer but we'll see. The shoe is definitely on the expensive side but for those pretty boy/ scenesters/ ghetto fab skaters out there, this is definitely the shoe for you. I couldn't really categorize myself in any of those categories. The truth of the matter is that I don't wear skinny jeans, baggy jeans or waxed G star jeans, I'm an average joe. I wear fitted straight pants, a regular tee and now, Supra Skytop III's. Who knows, maybe by the end of this review, you'll see heshed out dudes, skating a bowl in Skytop III's?

I went as far as asking my girlfriend what she thought about them on me, which is completely ass backwards considering that woman don't have opinions or actual rights to vote....right? She said "they stick out with you just wearing a tee shirt and regular jeans." I actually think they look great. With regular pants, the extra fabric is sure to cover over the strap in the back, if it really bothers you that much. The jeans also fit comfortably over the side panels and keeps the tongue out. For those that already have their mind made up about not purchasing a pair, I think you're forgetting who you'd be supporting and backing. THE MUSKA. And honestly, you could just wear them out and just rock them on special occasions or to pick up some of that becky. After you've grown sick of them or if you can't get any snatch, my suggestion would be to then skate the shit out of them. But we'll just have to see how they hold up for this review. I'm debating whether to keep the review short with a 2 week review or the full 4 weeks. I don't know yet. I just want to get this review out and show you all the power of the "Muska Skytop III."

The Berrics, Ripped Laces and a love letter to Louie Barletta.

For all 5 of you that view this site, wait.....sorry....6, we pulled a "Berrics"in an attempt to take down the biggest skateboarding site in the world.


No we didn't...

If I'm honest, I'll tell you that I forgot to renew the domain name but if I'm from New York, I'll tell you to go "mind ya fuckin' business". Luckily, this act of being careless and poor came just in time for me to give you your update of what to expect.
