The [Wu-Tang Clan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-x-wutang-clan) ain’t nothing to mess with, so says the song. And if you do find yourself in a sticky situation, the The Wu-Tang Clan “Killerbee” shoe with Dekline will get you out of it.

Using the rap group’s trademark [black and yellow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-95-3), The Wu-Tang Clan “Killerbee” shoes are bad ass and they seem to know it. As an added bonus, there is branding on the tongue, laces and heels. No word on whether Method Man is wearing them, but you know O.D.B. would have.
