Since the introduction of Nike’s Flyknit, the technology has rapidly seen an expansion and integration amidst a variety of the sportswear giant’s other staple advances.

The often controversial rapper Lil Wayne recently kicked off his latest creative venture with Supra and the subsequent launch of Spectre by Supra. Going on camera, Weezy talks about his relationship with Supra who has been an ardent supporter of the rapper as well as footage from the launch of the diffusion label that recently took place in Miami. For the personality who has not made his interest in skateboarding a secret, the future looks to be an interesting one with a name like Lil Wayne consistently involved.

Rapper Lil Wayne and SUPRA team up to produce the Chimera, a fitting name to say the least. What the shoe doesn’t say with its relatively simple colorway choices it makes up for big time with its shape. The shoe features a super-sized heel and midsole panel as well as a hefty padded tongue. Adding to the hodgepodge implications of its namesake is the variety of materials used across different colorways. For example, the tonal black edition uses mostly synthetic materials while the grey edition incorporates suede onto its side panels. By far the sleekest of the three, the white and pink edition uses a combination of smooth and pebbled leather. For a closer look at the Chimera and its different styles, check out Sneaker Freaker’s Issue 27 here.
