Then & Now with Erik Ellington | Part 2
Erik's iconic collection of pro models continues with Supra Footwear. As part owner & pro skater, Erik walks us through the challenges he faced on both ends with Supra. Having the community support the brand while encouraging their complex design aesthetic was a challenge at first but ultimately created a niche that only Supra could fill. With his latest model, the Ellington, Erik explains how he's been motivated again to create something he truly loves for consumers everywhere.

@@danielasuming Thank you for responding after all this time. I was waiting two years for a reply! My savior!! Hahah 👍🏻
always liked a majority of emerica's shoe styles, while loathing literally every supra shoe i've ever seen...regardless, i could listen to erik talk, and talk about shoes in particular, alllll daaaay :)
the black n red ones were awesome
The Ellington Vegas were sick af I still have my pair fresh n put away !
Love Erik Ellington! Remember as a kid seeing him in Misled Youth part so impressed!
The black and gum ones he said were like the KCK are a beautiful shoe.
Wow, that deathwish Supra is F'ing dope!! I had/have the slash fallens that say deathwish on the back kinda reminds me of those in a sense definitely completely different but very cool to see the deathwish logo on a show wish there was more.
I had the bright red supra diablo, they were amazing.
I had the black, red and white colorway from the commercial in 2013. Definitely a solid skate shoe for sure. Wish I could get it again!
that switch frontside flip tho..
I love skateboarding, and I love skateboarding shoes.

Yooo
make a new greco shoe. similar to the hammers but updated
Love Ellington & his 1sxt shoe and i'd buy the 2nd shoe IF I saw it.. BUT Supra shoes are mostly really weird..The Skytop Muska & Tom Penny shoe is too old school 1980's NYC'ish. im not into fashion but imo to wear that i'd feel like a kook out on the town as a boytoy for ParisHilton.. ~HONORBALE MENTION~ To Supra Stacks Antwain Dixon. I own two pairs and they skate GREAT! I only skate em her & there caus ei wanna preserve em. But the material is sprayed with something durable and they are light... ~~If ANYONE is a size 11.5- I have a BRAND NEW pair of SuprasTACK Dixon IN A VERY LIGHT/MILD PURPLE..
Bro what the duck where are you guys??
His new shoe looks good the rest were fugly.
Erick is off Supra??

i hope he goes back to emerica and they do a g6 version of the O.G Ellington 1..he has a legacy at Emerica especially with his defining parts in This is Skateboarding and Baket 3 all being done in those shoes...Supra is/was wack as and they have never done a video or even weird one off parts which for skate brand is bullshit, just making skytops for lame ass DJ's in Hollywood

Having shoes that look good and you can feel the board is awesome! But having a shoe that rips the f*** apart is garbage. I was a bigger fan of skate shoes that held up back in the day! Never had any problem not being able to feel the board. I guess, if it sells shoes go for it. I also never understood why kids are skating larger decks. Just because an 8 is popular doesn't mean you need to skate it! It's hard to imagine a world where all decks are basically one size!
Now look at Ellington at lining breaking into china can’t wait to skate them
