Official Jordan Fly Wade Thread

[cbfpunch]

awesome review, duke. wasn't too thrilled about the looks and the way jb did the colors for the first round of them, but they are growing on me. and i think your review sold me on getting a pair or at least trying them out! always wanted to ball in a shoe with a zoom/max air setup, and i think the fly wade is a good shoe to start out with lol.

Also, for a guard, not having a great deal of court feel is a definite drawback. From what it looks like, the foot would be at least a quarter/half inch off the ground.. You can get away with that in a post players shoe, but court feel is a high priority for a guard.

I think the lace shroud looks interesting, but it is hard to tell from that view.

yup very bulky, looks like the Kobes as you said mixed with the XVs. 
and the kobes dont preform too well so....

Huh? Kobes are bulky? and they dont perform well? Hook me up with some of what you are smoking.

He meant the adidas kobe 2. The ones that looks like space boots.

HAHAHA, looks like someone forgot (didn't know?) there were Kobe shoes before Nike.

I didn't read all of the original post my bad.  When someone doesn't list the version of the shoe I automatically think the latest.  Looking back I see now the OP mentioned the kobe 2.

Anyone scooping these up today?

 

[mister friendly]

Anyone get these yet?


Also I guess they are releasing a South Beach colorway

 

[jayzrdead]

EPIC FAIL^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[onionslice]

Only 8-12, 13, 14 ????? Lol. JB has no faith in this joint. Doesn't DWade wear a 15? They don't even sell them in his size??? FAIL

 

[chitown4eva]

Only JB can manage to drop the ball on a SB colorway....

 

[benjamin stone]

God, what a horrible looking shoe. How does this $!@* even get past the design stage?

 

[inchecksince81]

^ remember jb is producing sneakers for performane too. The "good ol days" jordan were good performance wise and great looks wise. Now the jordans are opposite. The majority of j's that people say “fail“ “ugly“ or “oh man those are gross“ are performance beasts on the court. I mean they are designed to handle the game of some of the best players in the world. I bet the perform great, and yes they are ugly.

 

[i mrdr peeps 4 fun]

Not feeling those to sport, but they may be nice to ball in.

 

[cornzilla]

I never noticed the visible air bubble.

Upclose pictures of the Jordan Fly Wade PEs

[dro3000]

EASY PASS, REALLY EASY PASS, on all CW's

 

[two zero five]

TRASH!!!!

 

[cbfpunch]

does anyone know if the bday coupons work with these? thinking about going in on the black/grey pair.

 

[vuey]

The 2 PE's don't look too bad.

 

[pure rock fury]

those laces from the infrareds would look sweet in tha infra 6's, imo....

 

[mister friendly]

I tried on the Fly Wades today and they are really comfortable. I was expecting them to feel like the Zoom Solider IVs but they felt way better. The Zoom in the forefoot feels big and plush. In fact the Zoom setup feels bigger then the Lebron 8 PS.  I think when I can use the coupon on them I'll get them.

 

[apossiblehybrid]

is it really that hard to design a good looking and high perfomance shoe jordan brand?????????????????????????????

 

[23rakim45]

"South Beach" drop in early July over here in Europe so that may give some indication to the State-side drop.
