Part of the Spectre by Supra line, the Supra Chimera is the first shoe design by Lil Wayne. Weezy F. made sure to put his skateboarding knowledge to use, resulting in a sturdy, protective sneaker that is highly cushioned.

From the gate, the Supra Chimera commands attention with its unique shape and cut. The padded clamshell heel panel helps to provide ankle support and comfort, while the extended collar panel wraps around the toe box. Inside, the beefy padded tongue features a stash pocket, which we're guessing was an addition suggested by Weezy himself.

The star tech of the Supra Chimera is its heavily cushioned Suprafoam midsole. Although it may look bulky, the Suprafoam construction is actually very lightweight, and delivers all of the protection skaters need to land safely. The Supra Chimera is YMCMB-approved.
