Yo Cyprus Sinner, you are REACHING son. There are no similarities of the wade 2.0 and the XXIII. That piece coming off the midsole on the XXIII has a functionl element since the shoes have no glue. That piece on the Wades with the 3 has no functional signifcance. Therefore, no similarity. Also, that area with the Converse symbol was inspired from the jordan symbol on the side of the XIV. Go to page 18 of this thread and look. AND, again, that part of the wade 2.0 with the 3 also took inspiration from the XIV. Your saying that the XXIII have details from the wade 2.0. I dont think you know but the wade 2.0 has details from the XIV. TInker designed the XIV. So the wade 2.0 is actually the ripoff design. Cool, thanks for the clarification. Dude, you need to educate yourself on design.
