Dwyane Wade is still pulling out new player exclusive colorways of the Fly Wade 2 as of Easter weekend, but April also means that the NBA Playoffs are right around the corner, and that will signal a shift in sneaker choices for the guy who got Miami their first and only championship. Will the Jordan Fly Wade 2 EV show up alongside Commissioner Stern at the end of the Finals in June? This intense Gym Red, black and white colorup resembles the postseason look for Michael Jordan’s six rings, a palette that’s practically synonymous with the Larry O’Brien trophy. It’s hard to say what could happen come playoff time, but we do know for sure what D-Wade, LeBron and Kobe will be wearing; who’s got the best 2012 NBA Playoff sneakers so far? Let us know when you head over to the other side for more images of the ‘Gym Red’ Fly Wade 2 EV and stick with Sneaker News for release info. Photos: HoopCity

Even though it’s not entirely clear where the money would come from, Dwyane Wade recently voiced his opinion that the USA Basketball Olympic squad should be compensated for their time. And while that will probably never happen, D-Wade is indeed getting a little something extra from Jordan Brand in time for NBA Playoff action. Maybe the more optimistic LeBron James can remind his teammate that he’s dealing with a have-and-eat-cake situation here, as the artist formerly known as ‘Flash’ will take this new sleeker Jordan Fly Wade 2 EV for a spin during some Heat home games before heading off to London for the 2012 Olympic Games. The upgrades in technology and aesthetics are as clear as the Flywire you’ll see in more detailed images below, so take a look and let us know how these compare to the initial Fly Wade 2 design.

They say a certain ‘switch’ turns on inside the psyche of certain NBA players once the Playoffs come around. There’s a reason why guys like Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant have won Championships while others are still on the hunt, which is why all eyes will be glued to Miami and Los Angeles once the postseason arrives. Will Wade have what it takes to lead Miami to its second title in franchise history? Jordan Brand has outfitted him with the Jordan Fly Wade 2 EV – an ‘evolved’ form of the Fly Wade 2 that features a Flywire-laden upper that should give the shoe a lighter overall package. We’ve got a first detailed viewing of this upcoming release so take a look at the detailed shots below, or better yet, check out Dwyane Wade wearing them in-game! Photos via x-kicks

Apparently Gilbert Arenas’ return to the NBA sparked a ‘stepping up’ of the sneaker games around the NBA, so let’s get to some of the big highlights of the weekend! Starting off with Air Jordan heat, Jordan Crawford of the Wizards rocked the Air Jordan V ‘Raging Bull’ – a current Final Four contestant in our March Madness tournament. Shannon Brown swapped Last Shots for the Black/Cement III, and Kendrick Perkins opted for the Chicago X. Monta Ellis whipped out the Air Jordan XI ‘Bred’ for another go-around, Delonte West followed his Galaxy with the Air Max Uptempo 2 ‘Duke’ yet again, and Dwyane Wade rocked a new PE colorway of the upcoming Jordan Fly Wade 2 EV, previously referred to as the Jordan Fly Wade Flight PO. More on this weekend’s best NBA kicks below, so take a look and let us know who ya got! via espn
