In a market as saturated as the footwear industry, one sure way to know you are doing something right is when another company completely bites your design. Supra is the latest victim of Levi’s who has also come with their own version of the Converse Chuck Taylor and Vans Authentic. While the makers of the Original 501 aren’t exactly the ones responsible for this crime, they did authorize their corporate stamp to be applied to these shoes worked up by GMI.
Levi’s and GMI take the knockoff Supra sneakers another step further when choosing the name the product – the Levi’s Greco. For those not up to date on pro-skaters, Jim Greco is one of Supra’s pro-riders with a signature shoe made by Supra. I guess calling them the “Muska” would have taking it too far.
While retailers may think that they have just scored a sure seller by carrying this shoe, think again. The shoes may sport a very affordable $65 pricetag, but don’t expect many people who know about the Skytop to be fooled by this imitation. More colors of these atrocities after the jump from SoleBLVD.
