It seems like there’s a never ending supply of hotness coming from Supra. Just when you thought that after so many nice releases you would be bound to see a bad one, Supra then hits you with another pair of really hot kicks. Here you have the Supra NS Trinity in a pure white colorway. We’re not sure what makes this all white shoe so great. Is it the crackled leather and the croc skin? Or is it the elegant style of these hi-tops? Maybe it’s a combination of both. However, I’m not too big on straps. Anyhow, the shoes will retail for $210 and will be available at Supra dealers.
