Prodigy x Supra Backwood ‘Infamous’
Created by Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Supra presents the “Infamous” edition of the Backwood.
The “Infamous” Backwood is a work boot/athletic-shoe hybrid constructed atop a unique sole that has a lightweight and comfortable SUPRAFOAM midsole with a rugged, rubber lug outsole. Prodigy designed the upper with grey suede camouflage and black ballistic nylon.
“Just this whole style of cut reminds me of some throwback stuff from the 90s, but this is an updated version,” he said about the Backwood. “I got the inspiration for the color because back in the day when Mobb Deep was coming up in the music industry our thing was to wear a lot of camouflage. A lot of people are getting back into the camo now, so I figure let’s flip a color that nobody really uses.”
