Releasing in three colorways – Black/Red, Grey/Pink, and White/Red – Supra aims for that lifestyle/skate market with an enticing design that simply isn’t like anything out there. Reader response has been a mixed bag as expected, but with the limited release going down tomorrow, will those with praise respond accordingly? Find the debut release of the Lil Wayne x Supra Spectre collection tomorrow at select retailers such as Oneness, and let us know if you think Weezy has the chops to elbow his way into the sneaker game with his new signature line.

The first sneaker from Lil Wayne’s Spectre by Supra line releases this Saturday, May 18th. The Supra Chimera debuts in three colorways, two of which we detailed just a short while ago. That leaves this third style for you to choose from this weekend, a riff on the classic Chicago Bulls palette that makes the most of high contrast to emphasize the Chimera’s unique silhouette. The other two styles more prominently feature varying material textures while this one maximizes its vintage lean with a tumbled leather up top; check them out up close below and let us know which of these first three Chimeras is best.

Sometimes you just don’t get a sneaker on the first glance. Daring designs like that are high risk-high reward:if you pull it off then you’ve broken the mold of sneaker design, but if you fall short of that then your shoe is in danger of becoming the laughing stock of the shoe-dude community. Gathered here are some of the most outrageous designs as compiled by Complex, including the likes of the recent Air Jordan XX8, the now classic Reebok Insta Pump Fury, the Nike Air Foamposite One, and more. Check out a selection after the jump, tell us in the comments what is the weirdest sneaker design you’ve ever seen, and get the rest from Complex.

Supra calls this latest design a polka dot, and while that’s not entirely inaccurate, it does leave you to look more carefully for more details. This newest Supra Skytop reads like a witch house festival lineup, its upper completely covered in triangles and plus signs. The black upper gives way to white symbols and red accents, and you’ll see them in greater detail after the jump. Let us know how these compare to the standout ‘Drummond’ Skytops that just released, then grab a pair straight from Supra.

The Lil Wayne x Supra Chimera debut kickstarts the Spectre capsule this Saturday in three colorways.

Several of Supra’s notable recent releases have drawn on inspiration provided by Kanye West. Here’s a new Supra S1W that points to another extremely successful rapping renaissance man as a muse, albeit from the opposite end of the spectrum. The ‘Summertime’ S1W takes us back to a time before Breitlings, Bentleys and ‘ballin’, to when DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s ode to warm vibes breathed new life into a Kool & the Gang classic. It seems fitting that with all these old school ties, the shoe itself is a cutting edge vibrant coral orange, so check them out up close below, then buy straight from Supra.

Supra continues its string of classic sitcom derived pack names with a new duo that also furthers the Crown brand’s nod to Kanye West. All of the aforementioned nicknames have a light riddle component to them, so following up on last week’s ‘Drummond’ Skytops, you’ll naturally think of Air Yeezy 2 when seeing these two snake-detailed Supra Vaider Mids. One goes with a Knicks colorway and the Yeezy 2-like python texture while another goes with a more traditional black/grey/red but has its fair share of serpentine sections. Let us know which you like best after seeing both below, then grab your selection straight from Supra.
