2008 Sneaker of the Year?
We saw some hot and not so hot sneaker releases this year, but what about the sneaker of the year? Complex says that the Supra Skytop is the Sneaker of the Year. Check out what they had to say below:
Hov made the Gold Skytops pop off in Rihanna’s “Umbrella” video, and ever since then, Supra has been laughing straight to the bank. Throughout the last year, Chad Muska’s high-cut silhouette was seen on everyone from Lil Wayne and Pete Wentz to Lohan’s gal-pal Samantha Ronson. Besides the heavy celebrity endorsement, consistent solid colorways like the red patents, wheat timberland takedowns, and the black/white TUF edition made Skytops the obvious choice for the year’s #1 sneaker. Whether you love or hate these eye-catching moonboots, there’s no denying that they ran 2008. via Complex
