In an attempt to recapture that ‘ol “championship attitude”, Dwyane Wade spent the 2008-09 NBA in his ’06 Finals MVP garb: knee-high socks, McDavid protective gear and his first signature shoe, the Wade 1. As such, Converse fabricated a “Playoff Special” player exclusive version of the shoe that features a black nubuck upper and a red faux-croc embossed toe. The model features a double lasted heel that improves durability, shark inspired vents that provide relief from the Heat, and EVA inserts in the heel and forefoot for added bounce. As for the kicks, “fugget about ‘em!” They’re exclusive to Dee, unless the Heat make a pronounced run in the NBA’s 40 night marathon. Then of course, Converse would be wise to release them…in limited qualities…right? Via Bounce.
