R.I.P. to Dwyane Wade's Signature shoe line, it had so much potential.

It had such an awesome start with the 1s....

Via NiceKicks, Kenlu, China Dime and FootLocker Unlocked

I feel 'em in a beauty-is-in-the-inside kind of way

, but i don't know if New Generation hoopers would really appreciate theOld-School Retro Approach Converse did here.

I am exctied to know what is that Nike Zoom Air-esque bubble on there.

 

[abircek]

these look very very promising huarache type of look+retrospective design
very very different from the whole line which is a good sign

 

[irishbaz]

Not as bad as some of the other wade shoes, the tounge looks a bit big but the sole looks decent. The Shox/air unit looks like the sole has bart simpsonsfingers inside it!

 

[guillermo gutierez]

thats actually a step in the right direction.

@ them biting Formotion

traction looks like it sucks but overall better than the last Wades.

 

[mangudai954]

Properly named

 

[emmanuelabor]

they remind me of a certain team jordan that seems to be based on the VII's

 

[ramzs8906]

White ones to me are kinda dope... the big questions is... WILL HE WHERE HIS OWN SHOE NEXT SEASON!?

 

[greatwallofjohnny2345]

well....iono about these. will cop so i can have the whole wade line though. these will probably be on sale for like 50 bucks a year after they release anyways

 

[stackabills]

Does anybody know when his contract with Converse is over?

 

[you big dummy]

He never even wore the Wade 4's, and because of that I assumed his Converse line was over after this season.

Like someone else said, these actually are a step in the right direction

 

[45nique15]

THESE SUCK..............PERIOD

 

[deezyvsop]

Potential unrealized.

I'd rather scoop the re-released Wade 1's then his newest sig. shoe. There's something wrong with that, in terms of design and marketing.

 

[donkey k0ng]

I hate these.

Yet I love them.

 

[mangudai954]

The converse is an eyesore on these imo. Should have made it smaller or moved it.

 

[size 15 please]

Way 2 much going on in this shoe

 

[nick0lis]

the red ones are sick

 

[guerrilla warfare]

 

[the12the22the32the4]

So, are they ever going to switch Wade over to Nike?

 

[wsjones1981]

As of right now, I'm kinda spazzed about the potential. Guess I'll be waiting until these are available, so I can try them on & check them out.

 

[jman8811]

Wade will join JB in a couple years......

 

[structure33025]

Would like to see a Black, Red and White colorway. For me - remove the piping and replace the yellow for red.....Shoes would be hot. Maybe a red clear sole?Liking the overall design though.

 

[diego1984]

I think they look ok for basketball! Way better then some of D.Wades shoes that have come out before!

 

[ijustice]

i like the design but i feel ike the converse logo on the side throws it off for me. The "One Star" retro look doesn't mesh well with thefuturistic style. It seems to big. and that black/yellow cw is awful. the first wades were the best

 

[arff23]

The 1's were amazing for how they came out..Converse making a comeback, and they did it with a splash!...The design was sick, no matter what brand..
But it has def. been downhill since...
They had sooo much potential with this line...

 

[nrg1604]

those are horrible
