The Way of Wade 5 ‘Golden Eagle’ Custom by Alexander-John Design

li-ning way of wade 5 golden eagle wow5 6

Last night Dwyane Wade and Bulls went up against a very strong dunk-happy Bucks team. While the Bulls didn’t get the W, Wade did have something special on his feet: a Way of Wade 5 ‘Golden Eagle’ custom by Angelus Direct-sponsored Alexander-John Design and designer Mythoklast Chirstonaut.

The execution of this custom is brilliant; the tongue features a bold golden eagle motif while the side panel wings flaunt bright yellow graphic feathers that extend to the heels. The shoe sits atop a milky white outsole and white midsole tooling that allows the carbon fiber to stand out (y’all know I love that). The sharp plastic eyelets on the wings mimmic the beak and talons of the golden eagle.

Alexander-John has been working with Jeff Staple to create unique collections like the Metamorphism collection, which included unique adidas NMD_R1 customs.
