Supra Skytop II Red Leather Sample – More Pictures
We have obtained some more detailed photos of the much talked about Supra Skytop II which we showed you a few weeks ago. This time in this batch of pictures there are some shots comparing the sneakers to the TK Society, along with some fit pictures.
From what we have read on various blogs and forums the Supra community seems to be on the fence about these. While some people here and there like them their are large percentage which thinks Supra is ruining the Skytop, their flagship model. Keep in mind that this is just a sample and an official release isnt set until Spring of 2010. There is still a chance some cosmetics of the sneakers could be changed.
After the jump their are plenty of pictures and if your interested in buying these samples hit up eBay now to take part in an auction for them.

Supra Skytop ‘Moonwalker’ Heat Sensitive Customs
The passing of Michael Jackson a few days ago was truly an unfortunate event. The King of Pop inspired many and helped shape pop culture and make it what it is today. In his honor, and for the Sole Collector custom sneaker battle, Qustom Queen has put together these custom sneakers known as the Moonwalker Supra Skytops. Believe it or not though, the sneakers were designed way before the passing of Michael Jackson a few days ago on June 25th. What was once a sneaker honored to MJ is now a tribute to MJ and the memories and impressions he has left in the music industry.
Qustom Queen designed the Supra Skytop ‘Moonwalker’ customs with a colorway similar to the Moonwalker movie poster. First off silver was added on the heel panels of the sneakers to represent the fact that Michael changes to a car, then later to a robot in the 1988 Moonwalker movie. The black panels which were done up next have a very subtle galaxy theme going on, one so subtle that it may even be a little hard to notice at first. The side of the upper and across the tongue theres a rainbow design which was done with heat sensitive paints. The heat sensitive paint makes the rainbow design change colors, getting more brighter once the sneakers/paint heats up. The lace covers display a portrait of MJ’s face and is also done in heat sensitive paints. When the paint heats up Jackson’s face changes and becomes lighter. As Questom Queen puts it “they go from Thriller MJ to Moonwalker MJ.”
After the jump you can find plenty of more detailed pictures of the Supra Skytop ‘Moonwalker’ custom sneakers, as well as a video of the lovely Qustom Queen showing off the sneakers.
