(AllHipHop News) In June 2012 skateboarding footwear company Supra announced that they were partnering with rap star Lil Wayne for a set of designer sneakers inspired and supervised by the Young Money boss.
According to sneakernews.com, Wayne’s new “Supra Spectrum” design is finally close to a release date, and photos of the skate shoes have surfaced online.
Lil Wayne and Supra’s latest collaboration are a set of high-top sneakers featuring several different colorways. Ideally, the Spectrums are constructed for both casual wear and for skating.
Previously, Supra debuted the mid-top Stevie Williams S1W last year. The S1Ws were a joint design effort between Wayne and the famous professional skater. Wayne was responsible for designing the colorway for Williams’ signature shoe.
“It’s dope,” said Lil Wayne about partnership with Williams. “It’s super dope. Stevie’s a legend, so to even be involved in anything Stevie’s doing is crazy, man—and then to be part of his shoe? Come on, man.”
