Hip-hop veteran Prodigy’s collaboration with Supra becomes less and less of a ‘Quiet Storm’ as the days go by, as two new styles influenced by Mobb Deep’s early days arrive the same week the first pair was previewed. He noted that “The inspiration for the color because back in the day [Mobb Deep's] thing was to wear a lot of camouflage,” and this rugged style translates well to a couple of Supra’s modern silhouettes. The ‘Infamous’ Supra Backwoods rock a greyscale suede camo with ballistic nylon hits, a similar material combo to the earthier Bandit we previewed yesterday, and both are available now straight from Supra (but act fast because some of the more popular Bandit sizes are already sold out).

Few active rappers can boast of the resume and street cred owned by Mobb Deep co-founder Prodigy, a twenty-year veteran responsible for some memorably menacing music. Sneaker News reported in late October that the H.N.I.C. has joined up with Supra and today we have our first look at the product forthcoming from this collaboration. This Mobb Deep x Supra Bandit features an appropriately rugged camouflage ballistic nylon (almost unthinkable we hadn’t seen that combination to date) with Tom Penny’s masked tongue tag insignia finishing things with just a hint of danger (bandanas on both the head and mouth because, of course, ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks). Stick with Sneaker News for more Prodigy x Mobb Deep news and check out these Prodigy Tom Pennys below in the meantime.

Supra signed longtime supporter Lil Wayne earlier this year, and has now apparently matched numbers with another established rap veteran. Appearing with the signature ‘H.N.I.C.’ cap and the by now unmistakable Supra Crown logo, Mobb Deep’s Prodigy comes through with a short video shot at Supra HQ teasing what sounds like a sneaker and a boot collabo, both dropping in November. Stick with Sneaker News to see Supra’s latest teamup from the cradle to the grave and click through to see the teaser clip in full below.
