Lil Wayne Shows Off & Speaks On His SUPRA Shoe Line Called “Chimera” [Video]

Thu, Sep 13, 2012 by Danny M

While at the 2012 Magic Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 20th, Lil Wayne showed off his new SUPRA shoe line that he has called “Chimera“.

Weezy also spoke with MTV at the event about his own line of sneakers with SUPRA, where the name “Chimera” comes from, how he balances his music and fashion businesses, the meaning behind his TRUKFIT clothing line, if he thought TRUKFIT would be as successful as it is, his own personal style and why he dresses the way he does.

What are your thoughts on the footwear design and will you be purchasing a pair when they are released on May 1st, 2013 :?:

  37. On September 13, 2012 at 4:54 pm dank responded with...

    @truckfit those shoes aren’t made for skaters.

    No skater would wear shoes that sit that high above the heel. Even shit as basic as an Ollie and kick flip would be way more difficult and uncomfortable with some rediculous sized shoes like… no ankle movement.

  38. On September 13, 2012 at 6:04 pm Meggy.f.bby responded with...

    keep doin ya thang dwayne. you could give a fuck less what ppl say. I respect that. Y’all hating on his shit but guess who is gettin mullah of it not y’all. I like why he made the trukfit clothing line it gotta meeting to it a feeling. And as far as the chimeras go they bad af! I’ll be getting some. I like the name it has meaning as well people so dumb I swear. I like his style I respect it cause he ain’t tryna be like nobody else he doin his own thing his own style. love me some weezy baby

    He pronounced “chimera” wrong. The chi part rhymes with tie, buy or fly.
