Last year, Dwyane Wade received his first signature shoe as a member of Team Jordan. The model, dubbed the Fly Wade, caught on very fast, earning a reputation as a high-flying, fierce slashing, do-it-all silhouette. This year, Jordan Brand continues the success of this model with the Jordan Fly Wade 2. These shoes are the first Jordans to feature Lunarlon cushioning from edge-to-edge, giving D-Wade a highly responsive and supportive base. With the NBA Season set to kick off in less than a month, retailers will begin stocking this silhouette in a variety of colorways.
