The new Supra Falcon isn’t really modelled after a falcon at all, but instead features cheetah prints.
These comfy, slipper-like sneakers look like one of Supra’s most comfortable sneakers out. If it wasn’t for the white trim along the bottom of the shoe, they could easily pass for slippers. The actual design has a few interesting elements like the padded foam heel overhang. Two large foam strips cover the heel of the shoe, giving it a totally different look than most shoes right now.
The Supra Falcon’s present a new look for the street wear brand and symbolize a move away from their typical clean leather sneakers.
Supra says this shoe is eco-friendly, although it offers no specifics as to how this designation is achieved or qualified.
