Supra has introduced a new silhouette called the Cuban. You don’t need to hit the beaches of Cuba to wear these shoes - a patio restaurant in South Beach or a white sand beach in the Caribbean will do.
Not quite a loafer, but not a sneaker either, the Supra Cuban is a lightweight slip-on that is cool for summer. These suede shoes come in both white and black, and have a removable velcro tongue flap. The Supra Cuban also features some gaudy details - such as the gold chain and patent croc accents - that will sure to be a hit with someone.
The Cuban is $69.99 at Supra Footwear.

Though we haven’t seen much new from Madfoot! lately, that will change this month with their Mad Monty Reptile Pack. This pack features a variety of shoes that combine smooth leather, reptile prints and embossed patent leather.
You can get several colorways on eproze right now, including a white sneaker that features a silver python leather on the tongue, side panels and heel. There is another white version that is combined with shiny brown snake. The third shoe is an all black colorway that features smooth black leather in the front and embossed patent leather on the tongue and rear portions.
This black shoe is by far my favorite of the three. The white midsole and tongue tab, along with grey decorative piping, provide some great contrast.

The new K-Swiss Bristel High Elephant looks pretty sweet. It uses an elephant print, combined with a perforated white tongue, heel, toe box and stripes for a very interesting look.
But the thing that stands out the most on these shoes is the use of bright aqua blue and touches of yellow. The fat blue laces and other accents give this shoe a very mod look.
These shoes are expected to drop at your local K-Swiss retailers within the next couple weeks. Via Complex.

If you are looking for a clean shoe, check out these kicks. Made by Supra, these shoes are amazingly clean yet sophisticated enough to not be boring. A nice thing about these shoes is you can wear them with virtually anything.
While these shoes have a lot of depth, the color scheme is strictly white-on-white. There isn’t even much deviation from strictly pure white. However, with a strap across the laces and with intricate textures and patterns on the side of the shoe, these kicks come to life even though they are devoid of color.
You can find the official Supra website at SupraFootwear.com.
