Please enlighten me..... The only point I was trying to prove is Nike is the choice brand for the top NBA players. I copied the list off of a site and just used it to show that the top 15 players according to Hoopshype only 2 wear JB. Alot of people think Nike is dependent on JB when I personally think Nike would be better off without JB. Whats wrong with that Magic?

You must be on some good stuff to think that Nike would be better off without JB.

For those saying that he left JB because his shoes "looked like garbage", might wanna retract your statements. Those Li-Nings are horrible. They looks like Lugz. Every shoe he wore with JB were 10X better looking.

If you look at them long enough, they start to look like a pair of 3s

You do realize that there are actual sneaker sales reports available, right? Jordan has them by the balls... I swear, the sheer ignorance...

Still, no current player at this weekend’s NBA All-Star Game comes close to matching his sway as a pitchman. Not LeBron. And not Jeremy Lin. “There will never be another Jordan,” says Matt Powell, an analyst for marketing firm SportsOneSource Group.of Nike-owned Brand Jordan has close to a 70 percent share of the basketball shoe market, with annual shoe and clothing sales more than $1 billion, he says.

I understand where you guys are coming from, but understand my comment about being better off without JB is not meant to be taken as if JB never was created. Its more on the logic that all that money would be spent on the Lebron,kobe, and nike bball line if JB wasnt available. I understand all the money is going to Nike anyway. To be honest im just real tired of JB and get pissed when you know that thier company owns the basketball market but cuts corners.Trust me I understand that JB is a money making monster and probably wont ever stop.
but to get back on topic, those d. wades shoes kinda reminds me of the lebron 2. The lacing system looks interesting.

MJ probably kicked him out his contract for being disresepectful

Throw some black laces on those and they'd be more pleasant to look at than all the other JB Wade shoes IMO.

These are his new shoe? This things look like some Playskool kicks from Toys R Us. Didn't Baron Davis have on a pair of Li-Ning's when he blew his knee apart last year???

man...talk about lack of breathability. They don't look like there's a lot of room to breathe in those at all.

Let's not go down this road...this has been discussed excessively in other threads. These kicks are rough...let's leave it there.

I don't mind them. They kinda remind me of the first offerings by K1X, the Chiefglider.

Looks like Li-Ning recycled Wade's first Jordan Brand logo as well:

I don't understand the purpose of the big triangle on the side
That's the breathe ability

ehhh you guys are being too hard on the li ning wade. they remind me of lebron 2 lows.
interesting seeing how plain they are. Wade must have not wanted much logos on his shoe. if you look at the old baron davis li ning shoes and even the evan turner shoes, the sig logos and company logos are plastered everywhere.
