[edunpeal]

not bad

 and if it does hit Nike iD then who knows what potential these shoes might have

 

[harrisit]

The shoes themselves arent that bad but there not worthy of being Dwade's first signature shoe....
Seem like they designed this as a team jordan and gave it to Dwade....

 

[scoopfromthehoop]

Another fine way of devalueing the game shoe by JB.

At least this year someone has worn it until the playoffs

And seriously whats with Jordan / Nike with overusing the black / grey / neon  combo recently???? too much

Wade's polo better than Wade's shoe

Oh my goodness are you serious JB, I thought this was a joke when I heard about it?!  Let me start by saying I have liked D. Wade as a player since day 1 (second to Kobe for the only 2 players I would pay to watch), that plus dude's game (only second to Kobe in the league for the best player), aside from the Jordan 2011 and other so called sig shoe for him has been way beneath him and his worth as top 2 player in the league!  Don't get me wrong the shoe its self is solid, but aside from the black pair (which only half way compliment him), do not even come close to fitting him as a player (looks wise).  It's as if they spend all this time on other players sig, but for the second best player in the league they give him a "solid team shoe" (hyperfuse, bb2, nike basketball category).  Bottom line (although I know D. Wade was part of the process of this shoe), this shoe is still not even close for the second best player in the league.  Just so we are clear Lebron is not my favorite player, but  I am unbiased enough to admit that his shoes are probably the most (edged out the Kobe 6 just by a little bit) complete (looks and performance wise) basketball shoe that came out this season. GOOD SHOE, NOT GOOD FOR WADE (OVERALL THAT IS).

Slap a Converse logo on these and nobody would've ever known Wade switched brands. Horrible shoe.

 

[hansolo23]

These are clean as hell, I'll copp every color way.

 

[arabianite3]

Very cheap looking. That back air bubble window thingy looks like something you would see on a 59.99 shoe at modells in the bins. Yuck. Do not want.

fixed...

Could've been worse I believe, the black pair is decent (I'm sure they'd actually look good with jeans); absolutely nothing to rant and rave about but decent....but I agree with the first portion of comment

 

[emm23]

I think the shoes look good...not as good as the 2011's though....

 

[aveezythebeast]

I'd cop if they came in those Metal cases

 

[kingjay718]

I'd cop the Heat colorways on discount. 

 

[SteveSteve72]

Not too bad but I'm going to pass.

i wouldn't go that far

 but yeah they're decent

  

 

[noblekane]

wow THIS is what i waited for all this time? and for $140? does this shoe atleast have full length air or zoom air in the forefoot??

wouldnt this seem like a downgrade with how well the air jordan 2011 was? wade will prolly switch back after a while

 

[beyond the glory]

white ones are decent.......

 

[kingheru1]

I would wear them if somebody brought me a pair.

I would love to help Jordan Brand design some D'Wades. I am a footwear designer, and I think I can design some D'Wades, that many folks on NT would like. All I ask, is if, I can be so obliged, to take on this task, because I see NT as a serious crowd, that likes what they like. I think sometimes, there can be a ripple effect, that causes bias sometimes but in all, I feel that the comments are genuine, and authentic on this site. With that being said, I got an idea for some D'Wades, and I want to share it with you all first. I want to put the design in here but it might not be allowed. If someone could share, if this is possible, I'd appreciate it.

sneakerfiles reports that these will be hitting nikeID, and the D3 on the tongue can be replaced with your own number.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I'll play with it on nikeid.com.. see if I can come up with something better..
