Supra know the deal when it comes to skate footwear, their shoes always have a healthy balance of aesthetics and performance. The ‘Avenger’ is a model worn by pro Erik Ellington and has seen a release in other colour variations before. This triple release uses a blocked out formula, keeping things simple and clean.

There’s an obvious design reference to a certain Air Jordan favourite on these, but it’s no big deal. Each make-up comes in an all suede upper with the black version taking on perforations on certain panels. Things are kept simple with the blocked out upper on each shoe and hits of contrasting colours on the outsole accent certain design aspects. Extra details such as Erik Ellington’s logo on the tongue and waxed laces are all subtle touches that do the shoe justice.

Available from SoleHeaven now for £59.
