Here is the third installment in the Converse Wade line, known as the Wade 3.0. First color way is a Black, Red, White which is the Miami Heat team colors. There is a inspiration deeper than the eye on this pair. If you look closely you can see a lot of triangle shapes. You might wonder why this is, well a Triangle is known as one of the strongest shapes, which symbolizes strength, success, and unity.

The well known Wade logo is on the tongue, also written is Wade at the upper heel portion. More information coming soon.

Kobe willget US ther September 18, 2007: If this outsells any basket ball shoe next season, then all that means is that dwade's fans are blind, and dumb.

Matt September 18, 2007: Yes they look a little off you could say but don't judge them until you try em on. They might be very comfortable. This makes me think of when the Adidas Kobe 2's came out. I thought they were the ugliest shoe ever but damn were they great to play in.

Jiggz September 18, 2007: Is this some kind off joke???

They look old and cheap! and the quality looks like somebody's been playing in them……

theprofromdover September 18, 2007: The last 2.5 shoes (wade 1, 1.3, 2) have been great to play in even though I'm not a big fan of their looks. I'm interested in what is going on the back half of the sole. It looks like the last 3 triangles have been removed to show something. Anyone know what is going on with that. Is it like the LJ5 and the map or are they showing off some higher end shock absorption? All in all they don't look any worse than most of the JB stuff they have been putting out.

deathshand September 18, 2007: ????????????????? I know Wade is how he is but mabye signing with the parent company might be the way to go. Thats one more signature show I dont have to worry about.

Polo September 18, 2007: See the vital point is overlooked. The reason why these kicks( I believe )Are Nice is because there unique and also all of the wades kicks look exactly a like. These kicks are tight simply because it's not that same style as the previous selctions(kicks).

Reply
Devon September 18, 2007: HEY ! These are one of the best d-wades they could have made IF…..they use different materials, maybe throw some patent in there, but overall I actually like the shoe.

Reply
if only September 18, 2007: if only it had a nike sign lol. i thought wade shoes were headed in the direction of jordans. first two not accepted, then third is revolutionary, oh well these look like the other ones, and just remind me of cloth on a persons feet, not shoes but just cloth.

monkeysfirst September 19, 2007: These are an eyesore. To be fair the question i'd ask is "how involved is Wade in the design process". "Does this reflect Wade's personality". I'm guessing no! As a designer, i really hope 'a triangle' wasn't the only inspiration here. It reminds me of the Answer 8 where they had the genius idea of putting 8s all over it.

Personally i don't layers of ideas in this design. But i'll look for literature to prove otherwise.

I think the Wade logo (the '3') could be stronger also. Though its not the weakest logo set. Maybe have a more effective letter/number logo to compliment the silhouette logo.

Spanky Johnston September 19, 2007: Monkey First, I think Wade was fully involved in the design process…i mean fully.

but I honestly dont think these pictures reflect the final round sample that I saw of them.

They look good…and when you say Wade wearing them oncourt..people will like them more. You also have to remember that the Wades are only 100$'s….not 150 or 175 like jordan…so quality and innnovation will have its limits.

77ncaachamps October 17, 2007: Interesting, at best.

But surprisingly, everyone here (or most of everyone here) is concerned about the look.

Sure, the aesthetics are important but I ball. I don't want to think about my ill-looking shoes getting scratched up or twisting my ankle in them.

The Wade 2.0s were a snug fit. I'm sure these will be as well.

If they hold up the court abuse, I say they're good.

You can't compare these to Jordans…because the best MJs are all the Retros. But hey…that's so unoriginal compared to the Wade 3.0s.

Can't wait for the MU colorways!

Reply
JB October 27, 2007: Dude what the hell…

The 2.0 I thought were great but now they put this garbage out?

Ok, I think its time for Wade to sign a conratct with Nike… I'm sure they could come up with a better shoe
