While the Miami Heat's superstar guard, Dwyane Wade, has been eliminated from the 2010 NBA Playoffs - despite a 46 point outing in Game 4 against the Boston Celtics - Wade’s name and Air Jordan kicks continue to burn like the Springfield tire fire. Given his Heat jersey number, No. 3, it seems only fitting that his latest Player Edition is the Jordan Ol’ School III. Dedicated to the third best basketball player on the planet, images of this shoe recently emerged like a crocodile’s nose, paying tribute to the moniker Wade was given by former Heat teammate Shaquille O'Neal. The White / Varsity Red-Taxi Air Jordan Ol' School III colourway contains a white leather upper, red lace holders, the famous ‘flight’ on the tongue and a large ‘Flash 3’ on the heel. With Wade’s future in Miami looking more and more uncertain by the minute, it wouldn’t be all that surprising if these sneakers became a vampire – never seeing the light of day.
