Style of the Supra Hammer Run
As a reiteration of the Supra Hammer, Jim Greco released a continuing silhouette that steps away from its skateboarding roots. Compared to the suede upper used in the original version, the Supra Hammer Run now comes with maximum breathability and comfort.
The suede accents on the back of the heels and the collar creates a subdued contrast which accentuates the simple athletic vibe of the shoe. Because these sneakers come in 18 whopping colorways, users have a wide variety of choices.
Notable Features
As a professional skater, Jim Greco, upon conceptualizing the Hammer line, well thought of its silhouette with the intention of creating a simple-looking shoe that stands out in performance.
Intently fusing the benefits of the vulcanized and cup sole, the Hammer Run carries a silhouette of having a tapered front-end sole that continues to a slender depth. It gives the advantage of having the maximum board feel provided by the vulcanized sole. Since it is paired with geometrically-shaped pods on the outsole, it becomes the perfect pair to use for maximum grip on the ground.
