That's not how I interpret "lunch compliments of Kswiss." I can't imagine corporate US staff, 200+ people eating lunch together at the same time, they would need a huge cafeteria at corporate, which is weird af. Factory workers in China or wherever the shoes are made eating at the same time makes a lot more sense. If they're made in China, they could be producing out of a different country to avoid tariffs.

Christ man I think you're reading too much into the wording. It's a post on a message board not an official press release. I got more bad news for you, a little bird didn't actually ever so gently tell him the news either. Sorry.

[close]

You're right it's a message board and were talking about it. I'm not dismissing the OP, just saying his rumor sounds weird and their IG pages are still active. I'm being skeptical. If you want to get all critical no one on the forum is homies enough with people at Supra to confirm a 200+ US staff? LOL no wonder the forum is just braile threads.

Side note it's interesting how a random rumor people take it as full fact right out the gate.

Christ, you’re fucking thick

Dumbfucks, I don't give and never have gave a fuck about Supra shoes. I'm interested in the 200+ people losing their fucking job and getting a free lunch on their last day. That's what interests me. Was their cake too? Sounds like good comedic material, sort of. 200 Supra employees having their last meal together sounds fucking hilarious. Maybe they just fed them soup. I could not careless if Supra shoes are not in the market anymore. Dumbfuck. Do I sound like I fucking care about a shoe wall at a skate shop?!? Fucking clown. Here's a sandwich and how to collect unemployment, have a nice day.

[Pissedoff30y/oskatedad]

A little bird flew upon my windowsill and ever so gently mentioned to me that, sadly, Supra is to be no longer.

200 + employees informed of their immediate termination during lunch compliments of KSwiss. Highly vexing and very unfortunate.

Damn... first thought was the Muska 2000 amd Greco... a friend of a friend skates with him and i had heard supra pays $3500 of his $4500 a month studio rent. Really sucks for anyone employed...

I'm dying at this dude never working in a corporate environment and can't understand that companies sometimes buy their whole staff lunch. Heck, I had a company meeting today like that!

What probably would have happened is they called a company meeting at noon (aka lunch time) and gave them the news.

Sucks if true, but I just more prefer this dude not knowing how jobs work.

I'm sure TK saw this coming a mile away

Supra's IG pages tell a different story tho...Not dismissing your OP...yo how in the fuck are there 200+ employees at Supra? That sounds like overseas factory staff? Maybe US staff idk...lunch for 200+ people to tell them they're getting fired is hard to picture.

[close]

I think he meant it was during their lunch...

Also I couldn't even give away my pair of grecos so that just shows how people react to supra.

I'll take those grecos

[jimbotron]

Supra will still be a shell of a brand for at least a little while. They are eliminating their retail presence and going direct to consumer. A Chinese company bought KSwiss and doesn't give a shit about Supra. So everything except the website is done-zo (marketing, sales, etc...). Shops are still getting their prebooks through Spring 2020. If Xtep (aforementioned Chinese company) decides to put Supra up for sale, someone could buy it and keep it going.

That's the story.

Yeah this is kind of funny.  Not funny that dude doesn't have the corporate experience, because who gives a shit about that, but that he is arguing it's ludicrous to think a company would buy "200+" people lunch.  I barely ever even bring lunch to work because if there isn't some event providing it for my org specifically, there's probably some org somewhere getting lunch that I can mooch the extras from.  It's pretty much par for the course in the corporate world.  I'm a corpro nerd confirmed.

Hope it's just rumor and innuendo. Shoes have been better lately and muska Greco Penny and Spenser are all greats imo. Plus the tour edits are on point.

I'd like to add the Spencer Hamilton shoe is working out great for me.

Basically you haven't lived until you've been mass fired.

[arrbee]

I just can't get my head around Supra actually having 200 employees...

Shit the team alone is like 20
Sales reps for US only is probably my another 20-30
Design/marketing team 10-15
Warehouse 30 or so
Team/brand managers 5

That’s roughly 100, then there’s international people. They were in a ton of accounts. And a ton of stores just by Zumiez stores Then real shops and everything else 200 is nothing.

If true I'm bummed. I've had many pairs of Supra shoes and never had any complaints. The Ellingtons, Cubas and even the Skytop 3's I was a fan off. Always caught pairs on sale but solid quality. Solid team, Spencer is one of my favorites and they always put out great tour edits on a pretty frequent basis.

MUSKA Nordstrom Rack Pro model YO! Their issues certainly are not on the design side.
