Lil Wayne Reveals Why He Partnered With SUPRA For His Own Shoe Line x Sneak Peek Of “DEWeezy” Commercial

Tue, Aug 21, 2012 by Danny M

Lil Wayne debuted his TRUKFIT clothing line and SUPRA skate shoes collection at the annual Magic Convention yesterday in Las Vegas, Nevada. MTV managed to get an interview with Weezy at the event to talk about why he decided to partner with SUPRA for his own shoe line.

“I was just rocking ‘em when I was skating and stuff and when I got real cool with the homey Stevie Williams, it was like a plug from him. It was just a mutual respect on each end so it was just bound to happen.”

“I look at the reality and the facts of it, like I been rocking this shoe before I even knew what it was. So for me to start skating and for these shoe lines to start coming at me like, ‘Hey, we wanna give you your own skate shoe,’ it was only right for me to mess with the people I been messing with even before they were a skate shoe.”

The SUPRA shoes that Tune designed were originally supposed to drop in early 2013, but they will now be released in stores on May 1st, 2013.

In other Wayne news, hit the jump to watch a sneak peek of his “DEWeezy” commercial that he shot on Friday with Chris Robinson.

    Just putting it out there for all of you complaining about Supra having shit to do with skating Wayne been rockin’ Supra’s for ages now not just since he started skating. also can somebody confirm if those Red Beats he got at that Interview are his beats or just a pair of beats??? Dedication 4 tomorrow? That sounds promising hope GG ain’t bullshitting us

    • On August 21, 2012 at 10:03 pm Danny M responded with...

      That is not Gudda’s official Facebook page.

      And yes them Beats are Wayne’s own custom ones that are called Cherry Beats.

  25. On August 21, 2012 at 9:53 pm Nick responded with...

    Also I don’t care how much this shoe gonna cost I will buy them. wonder how much Wayne gonna get from sales though?

  26. On August 21, 2012 at 9:58 pm jared7722 responded with...

    Just please stop wayne, Im telling as a fan of your music, skating isnt a good look..

  27. On August 21, 2012 at 10:13 pm RomanEmpire responded with...

    LOL Who why is Wayne just talking about irrelevant crap including skate shoes? Who cares about shoes, if you wore them, or when you wore them, you sound like my little sister and all her friends….same level. Get to the music, you know…the only reason we like you as fans? Keep your hobbies to yourself because we don’t care.

    If Lebron James started bowling in his spare time, it would be stupid for him to quit basketball, make a bowling shoe line, and just talk about bowling in interviews 24/7, no one would care or respect him anymore.

    We all know what this is about Wayne, you are literally just copying Odd Future and are trying to steal their swag. Find yourself, you are a grown ass man, find yourself!
