Scrubs Protection Turns Into Scrubs Fashion

There was a point in time during the history of medicine in which a surgeon would walk into an arena style operating room and literally cut a patient open with non-sterilized operating tools dressed in plain street clothes.

Different Types of Scrubs

Most of us today think of hospital scrubs as the traditional green cotton uniform that most medical professionals wear in their medical work environment.

Breaking traditions, experimenting with colors and designs, and attracting a loyal enthusiast of big names from Nike to Converse to Adidas, Supra has managed to spontaneously combust in a market place swamped with black, lo-fi blando-sneakers. Supra's collection of neo-classical Skytops and their 14k gold Chad Muska model has caught the attention of many and has been sold out in nano-second.
