D Wade’s Converse shoe new limited release

Monday, April 13th, 2009

D Wade’s fans were asking for it! that is why Converse decided to reissue a limited edition -less than 2.400 pairs- of the black and red shoe that Wade wears on the court.

The shoe features 0.8 (or 8/10ths of a second) on the inner heel to symbolize the time the ball left Wade’s hands when he made two game-winning shots during his first two NBA seasons. His No. 3 appears on the shoelace eyelets and his name is on the shoe’s back and top.

Unfortunately you will only find them at champs sport site so you won´t have any other option but to buy them there :( for $90. I have really become a friend with the guys from www.buyandwalk.com so its a pitty we are forced to buy this great shoe in a different site.

Hope you find this useful see u :)
