The Supra Strapped II is here and the shoe, which is designer Steve Aoki’s signature sneaker, has been redesigned. The Supra NS Spring 2010 Strapped II retains the same four-strap design as the original Strapped, but has a taller cuff and lower-profile sole.
Over the next couple of months the Strapped II will be released in Black Full-grain Leather, Grey Canvas and Acid Wash Denim versions.
One day I will rock Acid Wash Denim Supras. One day.
