There has been a ton of speculation about Dwyane Wade’s newfound relationship with Jordan Brand, and how it will play out in the 2009-2010 NBA Season. D-Wade was the undisputed heavyweight for Converse, and had 4 signature models with the company. Now under Jordan Brand, he shares that title with fellow All-Star Carmelo Anthony, and lords over a number of other players, including DJ Augustin, the recent-signee we interviewed. Which shoe will the Heat guard wear this season? Factor in that Dwyane is a part of the much talked-about 2010 free agent group and this could be his last season in red, black and white, adding another factor into the mix. As for now, it looks as though he’s taken a liking to training in the Air Jordan Element, and coaching youngsters in the 60+s.

Then again, as he’s revealed through his twitter page, he’s got a lot of options to choose from, so you’ll have to wait for Kicks On Court 2009 to find out exactly which JB model he’ll play in.

Almost all of you were against the Jordan 13 and AF1 fusion we last showed you. And every other fusion you’ve seen, for that matter. Well, it looks like Jordan Brand is back at it, as seen here in the most recent Air Jordan Fusion 13.

As you can see, they feature a red and black colorway straight off of the original XIII’s. The AJF13, as mentioned in the last article, is the first in the line of Fusions to modify the Air Force sole. Previously, the straight, flat sole has been used. For the 13, it features a mix of black and red, and the uses arch design from the real deal Air Jordan. The strap is, of course, from the Air Force 1 influence.

For a week that’s sure to see tons of Jordan tributes, one can assume better things are on the way. Is Jordan paying good tribute with this round of Fusions, or just ruining a legacy of classic kicks?

At the end of July, we informed you of two Air Jordan Fusion 4 colorways (including this one) that were available at Nike’s online store. Now, we have received word that this Air Jordan Fusion 4 Varsity Red is available at the House of Hoops Cherry Hill location.

This particular Air Jordan Fusion 4 colorway was considered the best of the Fusion 4’s by many of you. It features a predominately varsity red upper with minimal cement details on the laceholders, heel panel and midsole. Although we just stated it is now available at the House of Hoops Cherry Hill location, check your local House of Hoops location for this Air Jordan Fusion 4 Varsity Red.

The first sample is a black/white colorway with a white toebox and tongue, black on the carbon fiber, ankle collar, and laces, and a side panel similar to the Titanium XX3.  The other sample looks closer to the Titanium XX3 but incorporates a black collar and laces instead of the blue collar and white laces.

Take a look at the samples in greater detail after the jump and let us know what you think about the contrast between these samples and the final products we’ve seen at retail spots.  Pics via FlightClub.Tistory
