News: Wu-Tang Steps Into New Deal W/ Fila


Wu-Tang Clan have re-linked with mega sportswear company Fila to offer fans the "Wu-Tang Weathertech" boot for the winter.

The new kicks will feature an oiled suede upper section, molded rubberized vamp along with a unique d-ring lacing style and padded ankle collars. To give the boot a more "Wu" feel and presentation, there will be signature Wu-Tang yellow highlights throughout and it will be emblazoned with the group's insignia on the side and heel tabs.

Marking the Clan's second project with Fila since their 2007 special edition "C.R.E.A.M." shoe which was a revamped version of the classic original tennis shoe, Wu's business partner and executive producer Oliver "Power" Grant spoke on the group's relationship.

"The partnership with Fila began during our early days," Power said in a statement. "And our latest product represents the ongoing mutual respect we have for the brand today."

Wu-Tang's new boot will be released this winter for $100 at select retailers. Check www.fila.com/wutang for a list of stores.
