The WADE 4’s design pays homage to Wade’s ability to escalate his game to the next level in the final quarter of play. The tread of the shoe represents the last 12 minutes of the game. On the bottom of the shoe, from heel to toe, 12 red chevrons mark the amount of time remaining in the game and decrease in size. In the same direction, the treads in between the 12 chevrons represent Wade’s intensity, and increase in size as time winds down.
Weighing in as the lightest WADE signature shoe to date at 14 ounces, the WADE 4 also provides advanced support and breathability. It features new Suspend Technology in a cushioned shelf that rests over the hollowed heel on top of a layer of foam. Upon impact, the shelf displaces to create a desirable “trampoline” effect that helps to minimize impact forces. The WADE 4 is a truly breathable shoe, with open ventilation on the lateral and medial sides of the shoe for maximum airflow. The thin, inner booty sock has a fit system, which promotes lock down, while cushioning the ankle and allowing flexibility.
Signature details on the shoe reflect the most important things in Wade’s life, which he can view when lacing up before each game. On the inside of each tongue are his sons’ names, Zion and Zaire. One lace has the date, “06/20,” and the other reads “2006,” reminding Wade of the date he led the Miami HEAT to its first NBA Championship and was named 2006 NBA Finals MVP. The front of the tongue boasts six bold stripes on the left shoe and four on the right, a nod to Wade’s height. Finally, the WADE logo and his number “3” are on the back of the shoe.

Converse Wade 3
The new WADE 3 basketball sneaker is lean and functional. It has nothing fancy as its joints and seams are tightly secured in a sleek streamline.The shoe is entirely black, save for the minute accents of red in the logo and tongue.Even the shoe laces are black.
WADE 3 is strong, light and flexible. The internal shank plate gives rigidity to the torsion. The midsole is composed of a special material to provide enhanced cushioning and ride. The supple leather promises increased ventilation, while not sacrificing support and stability. It looks great and I like this shoe.

A few updates have been made to the shoe to commemorate Wade’s accomplishments over the years including a “.08″ on the inner heel of the shoe which is symbollic of the two game winning shots Wade hit during that 2006 season. Additionally Wade’s number 3 is featured on the shoelaces’ eyelet and his name is featured on both the heel and tongue of the shoe.
