Dwyane Wade Parts Ways With Michael Jordan’s Shoe Line
Posted by Media Outrage on October 4th, 2012
Dwyane Wade has ended a 3-year relationship with Jordan Brand sneakers….
MIAMI (AP) – Dwyane Wade will not be wearing Jordan Brand sneakers and apparel.
The Miami Heat guard said Tuesday that he has parted ways with the brand. His contract expired at the end of September and the sides made what Wade called a mutual decision to not extend the agreement.
Wade said his time with Converse and Jordan has been an ”unbelievable nine years.”
Wade made the switch from Converse to Jordan Brand in 2009. Both are owned by Nike.
Wade, who counts Michael Jordan as his idol to this day, said Tuesday that he still feels ”honored to have represented my favorite player of all time and his brand.”
He has not unveiled plans for what shoe he will wear with the reigning NBA champion Heat this season.

Oh snap! shoe news…lol. D Wade has already signed on with an overseas company called Li Ning. He has already been spotted practicing in a prototype of his new signature line. I think the deal was for a nice price also. Let’s see if the Heat can do it again!
