Back in December, Lil Wayne teamed with Stevie Williams for the collaboration shoe titled the S1W Supra. The shoe represents the friendship between Lil Wayne and Stevie, but also a mixture of skateboarding and Hip-Hop. The first model to be released from the upcoming lifestyle assortment will be the revolutionary new high top Chimera. The Chimera is available now, in three colorways for the Summer.

I received the White/Red colorway from Supra two weeks ago, which I love; for starters, they’re extremely comfortable. These sneakers are so different then the S1W’s; I feel those sneakers were more of a casual sneaker and these are more of a skater shoe.

When Lil Wayne signed the deal with Supra, he wanted to make a sneaker for the die hard skaters and the people who are non skaters. I believe he succeeded in doing that.
