Official Jordan Fly Wade Thread

Yeah. I was surprised. The black/blues are hot. Hopefully your HOH has them or is getting them soon.

Just dropped by the HOH and scooped up both pairs. They look really nice, though the blk/red isn't really the same as his miami heat PE. Which I was a little disappointed but hey it's the closest I'll get to it other than the actual pair.

It looks to have 3m on the collar.

The wade logo on the PE is orange on here its the reg red and the jumpman is white

On these the bottom is white as opposed to orange

Here is the shot of the blue pair

The bottom of the shoes look amazing with the blue and clear sole. Scooped up the last pair in my size.

Also I noticed I'm the first one to post pics of the actual shoes, I guess I'm the only one on NT that actually bought the fly wades.

 

[23rakim45]

Haven't seen those black/blue ones before. Those didn't drop over here.

 

[si3n4]

Glad you were able to find the the two PE Wades too. They do look nice in person. I'm hoping to get a pair down the road, but only on discount.

 

[sho3tym]

I want the home pair...

Jordan Brand couldn't be more unoriginal and lack creativity with the Fly Wade especially the HoH release.

Well this is a simply colorway and I like it. It not crazy and is something I will definitely wear. I mean we seen what JB can do when they decide to get creative with the fly wades.....South Beaches

Not too much of a fan of these but the blue ones aren't bad. The sole looks nice, thanks for posting pics.

that black/blue is niiice. best wade cw we seen

 

[cornzilla]

just saw my pics posted on counterkicks. Next time I'm tagging them

Edit: my fault every sneaker blog has the photos up. I guess it's true that everyone browses NT for info.

Been looking for pics of the blue pair for a while now, so props for posting.  I wish they would use deeper shades of the blue and red, like a cobalt and blood red.  The blue pair looks pretty good though, most likely my next ballin shoe after I get sick of my kobes.  Interested to see how these hold up and crease.

 

[cornzilla]

They really need to release the actual PE pairs to HOH. I would be all over the "home" pair.

Yeah can't put nothing past you guys. I actually designed these way back when Kobe was wearing the Adidas "space boots" shoes. I noticed that they looked stiff especially in the arch area so I did cut away indentations for more flexibility and added my own design to be the follow up to the Kobe 2. I did so to answer certain performance issues. Of course Kobe moved on and I just had a shoe design. I didn't decide to make these Air Jordans until years afterwards. I noticed to theme of 3's on the shoe and said why not make them into some Wade's. They look bulky because of the way they were copied and the format I saved them in. The way I envision them is more sleek and low profile. I have been busy lately but when I can I will redo them in the way I see them. Thanks for the helpful feed back.

I mean I haven't played in these but what's so special about them performance wise that they couldn't make them look better?

What looks to be a relatively low volume air bag in the heel and zoom in the forefoot. Gee, that setups only been around 15 years. The pieces on the upper and the lines of the shoe look almost completely arbitrary, it doesn't flow together at all. The overlay that emanates from the midsole right above the air unit's window, then widens and looks like a spatula or hamburger flipper, what the hell is that? And then the random bit of color intersecting it that runs along the ankle collar, just looks so awkwardly juxtaposed next to everything else. One of the least coherent looking shoes I've ever seen. It almost looks like it's a fusion shoe but it's not.

Hold up a second....

 

[scoopfromthehoop]

Have you seen the 'South Beach' colourway of these???????? Horrendous

 

[dadecounty11]

Might scoop up a pair when they go on sale for $99.

 

[si3n4]

The two red finals PEs are nice. Too bad they won't release nor can you make pairs like them on NikeID. Such a shame...

 

[rutgersjetfan]

I think I may buy a pair of these to ball in once they go on sale or hit outlets. From what I've read and heard from guys on the court, they're a pretty awesome performance shoe.

 

[jumpmanpro97]

I hope he gets some better looking PE's, I mean they're in the finals! The ones he's been wearing are OK

 

[23rakim45]

Some clean new PEs being worn during practice!

Word to Yao Ming in the stands behind!

 

[jumpmanpro97]
