Supra was an American skate shoe brand founded in Los Angeles, California by Angel Cabada in partnership with professional skateboarders. Korean fashion retailer F&F acquired the global trademark of Supra in October 2020.
On January 31, 2013, Video Director Dennis Martin created a promotional video for Greco's second signature shoe, "The Hammer"; Greco's first signature model was named "The Soprano". Greco explained, in relation to the "Hammer", "I wanted to make a super simple-looking shoe. There's a million shoes out there that are simple, but I really wanted that fusion of vulcanized and cup sole because I like the feel of the vulc, but I like the impact absorbing features of the cup sole". The shoe's design was promoted as "a high performance, lightweight, low-top skate shoe. The upper has a short eye stay, a long vamp, and minimal branding".
Supra Footwear was purchased by K-Swiss Global Brands, a subsidiary of E-Land Group, in June 2015. In 2018, Steve Harden, former executive leader with Adidas and Oakley, was recruited to relaunch and restructure the Global Supra and KR3W brands. In May 2019, Xtep disclosed that it was acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of E-Land Footwear USA Holdings Inc. As of October 2020, F&F acquired Supra Footwear and relaunched the brand in South Korea in January 2021.
