Lil Wayne Is Working on His First Signature Shoe
Posted by Mikey Fresh under for fashion-hounds and obsessive consumers[21] Comments
I’m happy to let all you loyal Missinfo.TV readers know I conducted my first interview with Lil Wayne last week. While our conversation was mostly about fashion and his Trukfit line, I was able to get some goodies out of him. In the first part of our convo, Weezy reveals plans for his first signature sneaker.
VIBE: Do you guys plan on doing Trukfit shoes?
Lil Wayne: That will probably be further way down the line. I do have a shoe coming out soon but it won’t be Trukfit. I have shoe with a well-known company. I just don’t want to say yet because Ihaven’t dotted the line yet. But it’s done
Can you give us any hints? Is it going to be a major shoe company like Nike or Reebok?
Nah, it’s not a Nike or Reebok, I can tell you that much.
We’ve seen you in Supras heavy…
Uh-oh. Watch out [Laughs].
watch Weezy’s NBA All-Star concert after the jump…

TrukFit is yet another corny attempt to get in his fans pockets. It looks very childish and uninspired. When you want the real check out Jackin Ralph

Somebody tell whoppi goldbergs stunt double to sit down somewhere!! Thats whats wrong with hip hop. Everybody wants to be a designer instead of what got them famous. Clothes are terrible and shoes come on who wears Supra.

Once the public stops allowing this type of larceny then it will stop. Like really the art looks like clip art very elementary but these artists today know they can keep issuing bullshit all day and the public will buy it. Wayne you are no Pharrell this crap will never ever be BBC/Ice Cream please cut it out. The crazy part is you have all money aint no excuse for this garbage. I wish my brand Jackin Ralph had your budget my logo destroys yours easily. I just left your Trukfit website because I needed a laugh for the day thanks. No hate just keep it hundred with the fashion game or stay out of it some of us take this seriously

Wayne needs to quit rap, skateboarding, and claiming he’s a blood. He’s not good at any of that.

I swear hip hop fans are the most negative pos in the world, all the comments on here are hate but 1 maybe 2. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it, end of story. Rappers starting clothing lines is nothing new been like that since the 90s. I’m not a fan of Wayne, or his clothing line but him skateboarding now seems genuine and I will tip my hat to that.

I miss Carter II Wayne. I really thought this dude was going to drop a Blueprint-esque type of album. Popularity has changed him too much in my view.
The great rappers are always getting better album after album. He just seems to be sticking to formulas and pleasing the MTV crowd, and that is a surefire way to become WACK

Well for one… no one is looking for his shoes or his generic skater line. Wayne has never set trends or been ground breaking in the fashion world. He seems to be a step behind the newest trends … ie: when he started rocking bape yrs later after it became genric and wack. Like someone stated early this is no suprise. It seems to me it does whatever he thinks might appeal to a certain demographic to sell records. lets seee
1. Started off a hot boy/ dope boy trying to appeal to the streets but wasn’t raised in the hood nor did he earn any hood stripes.
1A. No one believed him so he started “yelling Blood” and sue woo in hopes that his fake gang affiliation would help.. wrong
Note: paying into a gang is never cool. One day someone will call you on it….Ie: 40 glocc
2. Then he became the Bape wearing weirdo until that crashed and burned.
3. Then he did a bunch of features and got a really nice buzz
4. Then he started playing the guitar and figured he can appeal there.
5. Now he’s a skate border who can’t skate with a skate board apparel line.
5A. He’s also gone Gaga… check the skin tight animal print pants with the snow boots and pamela anderson fur hat.
MIGHT POINT IS….DUDE A FRAUD. HIS WHOLE STYLE IS CHUMP

Real talk scrap!
You remember when they came out and they was flaging…but the only problem was… they had 6 different color bandanas? lol LAME!
They got bread… that goes without saying… but it goes to show you all that money and still no swag or aura. I’m just confused with hip-hop right now! lol
