Dwyane Wade's newest shoe design is an interesting take on footwear. It's hard to explain what it even looks like or how someone would wear it properly.

It's somewhere in between a shoe and a slide. It has support around the ankle, but it's an open-toed piece of footwear.

It's downright strange looking. It certainly does not seem like something that will appeal to the masses. They come in a variety of colors including white, black, gray, purple and multicolored, but each design looks weirder than the next.

The shoes are made by Li-Ning, a Chinese company that Wade has a lifetime deal with. These will likely be a hit in China and in the states as well because Wade is a megastar and fans are always looking for the next big thing. Although the shoe is very strange, the bold design is something different for consumers.

Fans of Wade must be stoked for this release, but this isn't the announcement his biggest supporters are waiting for. Wade's future in basketball is still uncertain. He has made it clear that if he does return to the court next season, it will be in Miami. But he hasn't made a final decision yet.

Wade may want to return to the court for one final season and one last chance at making the playoffs. Wade had an up and down season last year, but he showed up in a big way in the playoffs.

But if Wade does return to the court, don't expect him to wear the Essence 2.0's.
