The physical toll that is exacted on skateboard shoes can lead to costly wear and tear for young boarders. It gets expensive replacing these shoes so skateboarders are faced with the choice of wearing banged-up sneakers or setting aside a special fund for new ones. Supra should gain some points among skateboarders with its new Supra Tuf collection of low and high-top skate shoes. The overall goal of the Supra Tuf series is helping skaters stay on their boards longer without worrying about worn-out soles or uppers.

Supra has put the shoes pictured here through a full battery of tests by its stable of professional and amateur skateboarders. The durable leather uppers protect riders from rocks, dirt and debris during street tricks. These shoes maintain the simple aesthetic used by Supra in its other lines while keeping boarders comfortable. Supra wearers can focus on finishing off their signature tricks instead of protecting their shoes as the Tuf collection premieres in June.
