They honestly look like the generics in 2k. And how do we know these are Li-Ning's? They don't have anything of Li-Ning on them.

I don't get the logo. His old brand was better. It actually had a style. These look like normal shoes....

and the logo looks like something for a citrus company

According to Joseph Goodman of the Miami Herald, who posted those, those leaks are without the logos. Obviously, they have Wade's brand logo. I hope the Li-Ning logo isn't too big, wherever they put it.

KG wears Anta, and Davis left Li-Ning.

But yeah, hopefully he just cares if they'll keep him healthy.

Those are even uglier than the fly Wades. Funny how his first few Converse shoes were the best looking shoes he had.

Super ill.

I am a big fan of Black and whites or all black.
I bought the first Lebron's in all black and have had them since. They go with any outfit, easy to clean, allways look good.

i would consider wearing them if they felt good on my foot and depends how they look on. The brand is fast rising I wouldnt be surprised if its a well made shoe.

I read they are going to change the design. Hopefully, they make a few more adjustments

I'll post the article later, but Wade did say those are not finished, and even when they are they're just the special China version. He'll wear one in Beijing and the other in Shanghai (assuming he plays both).

What I love is that its his own brand under the Li-Ning umbrella (sort of like Jordan under Nike), which is why he chose this over staying with Jordan/Nike, or going to a Reebok/adidas/Under Armor-type. He has full input on everything. Remember a few days ago I posted pictures of Dwyane stretching and you could see his WADE brand logo on the bottom, which led me to believe this might be the case.

Dwyane's publicist's husband took a picture with a different color way partially showing. I'd like these better than the black/golds, I'd think.

I like the red and the last pic with the gold. Not feeling the white and red. They need to do something with those.

These look like air force ones lol

The updated version looks a lot better, hopefully they're good performance-wise as well. Apparently his new deal could make him one of the richest athletes of all time, that's crazy if true.

Wonder what the deal was?

8 million over 8 seasons, not fully guaranteed.

Those aren't new versions, they were "concepts."

I read though that they were going to change the sneaker version in the States.

He even said it in an interview with Sole Collector.
