The first couple Jordan D’Reign colorways showed us how this model blends the patent leather introduced on the Air Jordan XI with Dwyane Wade’s era as Jordan Brand’s number one baller. This latest model takes that connection considerably further, the ‘Cool Grey’ Wade D’Reign ending up closer to the CG AJIX thanks to the patent mudguard that stretches from toe to heel and all the way up the the ankle eyelets. These probably won’t get the kind of attention from collectors as that Cool Grey Nine’s holiday season release, but how do they compare to the other D’Reigns, or even the Nike Free Run 3.0 V5 Mens first round of CG-paneled Fly Wades from last summer? Let us know after you check out the photos on the other side and stick with Sneaker News for US release info. Photos: Taobao

On this LeBron 9, you can clearly some festive LeBron-centric symbolism, like the crown behind the tongue and the basketball.
