Lil Wayne Dazzles the Crowd in the Supra Skytop

Lil Wayne Bedazzler Supra SkytopAlthough Lil Wayne does not have an official contract with Supra, he is obviously an avid fan of the skate footwear company. Recently we have seen him sport the TK Society and at last year’s Video Music Awards he laced up three different Supra Skytop colorways. At the BET Awards last night, Lil Wayne surprised many (even Supra) by pulling out thisbedazzled pair of Supra Skytops. 

This particular Skytop features a 100% silver glitter application on the base mixed with a white vulcanized rubber sole. The left shoe contains the letters ‘CLV‘ on the tongue, while the right shoe possesses the number ‘26‘ on the tongue. According to Complex, Supra did not send this shoe to Lil Wayne; however, if this shoe were to release would you purchase these Supra Skytop?

Lil Wayne x Gatorade Commercial

Who would ever think that one day Lil Wayne would follow in the foot steps of Michael Jordan…Weezy snuck his way into the Nike LeBron Chalk Commercial earlier this year but made his way into a Gatorade showcasing some of the top Gatorade athletes. Watch for Gatorade “G” to be sold in Styrofoam cups, pre-mixed with your favorite alcoholic beverage in 2009.

Supra Vaider for Pete Wentz

Supra Vaider - Pete Wentz 29th Birthday EditionTwo weeks ago, at the MTV awards, Lil Wayne showcased these Supra Vaiders for the first time. However, these kicks were not an exclusive for Mr. Weezy. These Vaiders were given to Pete Wentz for his 29th Birthday; however, he passed them on to Lil Wayne as a gift…go figure.

Wayne received the Best Hip Hop Video Award in these sneakers before switching his Supras throughout the show again and again. This is just a more detailed look at Fall Out Boy member Pete Wentz Birthday Edition Supra Vaider. Only 29 pairs are in existence. Does his 29th birthday have anything to do with this limited number of pair? Who knows. CtotheJL for the pics.

Weezy Gone Wild! 3 Supras at VMAs

Lil Wayne in Supras at VMAs Could Supra be a new staple in Hip Hop fashion?  Well, if not hip hop, Lil Wayne seems to have a fetish for them. Over the past year, Supra have caught the eye of many rappers (Kanye, Pharrell, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne…just to name a few). 

Just recently, during the VMA Awards, Lil Wayne sported three different sets of these incomparable sneakers throughout the show. Wayne switched his shoes like a basketball player at halftime (a la Kobe Bryant during the Beijing Olympics) not once…but three times during the show.  The self-proclaimed best rapper alive performed in the skate-ready Black Supra TUF Skytops, then changing into an exclusive Vaider to accept his Best Hip Hop Video Award for Lollipop. The Supra Vaiders were initially made for FallOut Boy member Pete Wentz for his 29th birthday. There are only 29 pairs in existence.

He ended the night onstage with Kid Rock (yes…Kid Rock) in some red patent leather NS Skytops. With Lil Wayne’s recent success and his die-hard followers, Supra will, if anything, gain more notoriety covering Wayne’s feet for the night. Info from CtotheJL.
