nice job on giving a reason why lol, but as far as looks these aren't bad at all

Not bad. I've certainly seen worse on D-Wade's feet over the years.

All in all, I think it's solid. Not great, not horrible, but solid.

Here's a reason why.  These shoes are extremely ugly.  Add cheesy neon colors and they're even uglier.  On top of that, theyre 140 dollars.  Also, some people can tell how a shoe performs by looking at it.  Interesting.

In the pic where Wade is holding the blue pair with 2 hands and looking down at it what's the caption? "FML"

or "Damn...it could at least match this JB polo..."

 

[mt3130]

are the heat wearing blue or green in the playoffs? the lebron 8 v3s are coming in the exact same colorways

 

[zero 0123]

So now no one will be wearing the sig Jordan 2011 in the playoffs? Great move JB. Great move. Way to dwarf a great shoe once again. These look like kids team shoes. Might as well have made the Evolution 85 with Hyperfuse so it's the lightest Jordan shoe and then let Wade wear them.


I am disappoint. Again.

All opinion and a matter of personal taste, 140 isnt bad considering the price of retros and their performance now on the court

Nope.  140 is bad, hence the 2 comments laughing underneath yours.  And they are ugly.  Soulja boy can be someone's favorite rapper, it doesnt mean that he doesnt suck.

While light weight, the sneaker does not sacrifice on the technology which includes a full-length Phylon midsole, a asymmetrical collar for optimal performance on the court, Nike Zoom unit in the forefoot, Max Air unit in the heel and an internal 3/4 bootie rounding out some of the note worthy specs. With the playoffs fast approaching, the new Jordan Fly Wade is Jordan Brand’s answer to Dwayne Wade’s post season drive to the finals so keep an eye out on Mr. Wade’s performance and feet over the next few weeks. Dwayne Wade is the third hand-chosen (by Michael Jordan) Team Jordan Athlete to receive a signature sneaker under Jordan Brand, the other two, Chris Paul and Derek Jeter. The first two colorways of the Jordan Fly Wade will be available in the U.S. on Thursday, May 5, 2011 and in China on Saturday, May 7, 2011 for a suggested retail price of $140.  In addition, the Jordan Fly Wade will be available for NikeiD customization on Sunday, May 29, 2011.
