Wade became the NBA’s all-time leader in blocks for players listed 6’4″ and under, which he achieved in only 679 games, more than 400 games fewer than the previous record holder: Dennis Johnson. It has been hit or miss for the Way of Wade 2 sneakers regarding actually getting your hands on a pair. They are not technically limited but available. And by available, I mean actually available without having to import for double retail, which can be the case for the avid fan of the sneaker.

The sneaker is two legit. Hand-stitched, smooth Mocco leather upper. A dynamic lacing system with multi-configuration options for enhanced fit. A molded collar and toe details for increased comfort and stability helps on and off the court. I am still doing my homework on the sneaker’s foam body with bounce in the forefoot and cushion technology in the heel. It is my SOTM, The ‘Caution’ Way of Wade 2 is available now for $150.
