The Black Eyed Peas Super Bowl XLV Halftime performance may go down as one of the worst Super Bowl performances of our decade but there was one shining moment. No, not the glowing sequenced dancers or Fergie’s bizarre rendition of “Sweet Child of Mine” with Slash, but actually the shoes Slash was wearing.

Slash, the legendary guitarist’s of Guns N’ Roses, and Supra came together and created a custom, one-of-kind pair of Supra Skytops. The sneakers display a beautiful premium black leather/suede upper with faux snakeskin wrapping around the side panels and heel. Small amounts of red accents are seen on the Supra branding, top eyelets, and lining while the usual white vulcanized supports the frame.

RoyaleFam SBTG aka Sabotage aka Mark Ong is well known for his painstaking custom sneaker creations, and has even been commissioned to design for the likes of Nike, New Balance, and AMTOS & Chapter. SBTG’s handcrafted sneakers have attracted the attention of people all over the world, from big-time celebrities to newspapers to sneakerheads across the nation.  In his latest project, SBTG took on the dueling task of customizing his first ever pair of Supra Skytops.

The SBTG x Supra Skytop emphasizes a punk rock theme, featuring a crazy combination of salvaged denim with colorful trim, contrasting white stitching, leopard print along the side panels, and patches of black fur.  Keeping with the punk rock influence, the words “Radicals” and “Fvck You” appear on one of the tongues, and there’s also a button  that reads “Anarchy will Beat”. Other key details include, a removable zipper lace unit, gold lacelocks, black studs by the ankle, and the trademark  SBTG logo on the back heel.

This custom sneaker was a one of a kind design, handcrafted exclusively for the owner of Suprafootwear.org, and is currently only available to members of the site. Retail $1000.

At the BET 2009 Awards, Lil Wayne and his Young Money crew left the crowd in shock after their lackluster performance that had no real rhythm and pre-teens (their children) dancing to explicit songs. If you were able to focus in on Lil Wayne’s feet during the show, then you probably noticed him wearing a mysterious pair of sparkling silver Supra Skytops.

Up until yesterday, no one could confirm where the Skytops came from, but now, the CLVII Store, based in Berlin and Paris, are saying they made the custom Skytops for Lil Wayne’s 26th birthday in September of last year.

The CLVII x Supra Skytop Customs features a crystal studded base, a white midsole with two silver stripes, and the number “26″ on the right tougne and the store name, “CLVII”, on the left tougne. Finishing the custom sneakers off are two silver ribbons as laces. See detailed pictures and video of Drake and Lil Wayne’s performance after the jump.
