Dwyane Wade Signs To Jordan Brand

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade made a sneaker switch and will be playing as the newest member of Jordan Brand beginning next season. He joins fellow NBA’ers Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Rip Hamilton, Chris Paul, D.J. Augustin and several others on the Jumpman roster. DWade repped Converse last season, and it’s safe to say things didn’t end pretty. Dwyane effectively avoided rockin’ his final Cons signature shoe, the Wade IV (4), all last year!

Michael Jordan was excited to add Wade to his roster, explaining, “I’m thrilled to have Dwyane Wade join the Team Jordan family. In his short time in the league, Dwyane has transformed himself into one of the game’s best and is the embodiment of leadership both on and off the court, a signature trait of our athletes. As the Jordan franchise approaches its silver anniversary, Dwyane will become a pinnacle member of the Jordan roster poised to help lead the Brand for years to come.”

Wade says the brand switch is a dream come true. “For me, the move to Jordan Brand is a dream come true. As a kid, I grew up on the south side of Chicago idolizing Michael Jordan and have worked hard to achieve the same success that he’s had on the court. I have enormous respect for this brand and all that it stands for. I’m humbled to be a part of the Team Jordan family and I’m looking forward to a great future.”

  1. bout damn time!!! jb better give wade a sig shoe and after looking at cp3 iii and the new melo..wade's shoe better be dope because the new cp3 is a step back from this past year IMO..good job but i hope the design team does not mess this up and while we are at it..eliminate all the trash "team" shoes and if the 2k10 is going to be garbage like the 2k9..eliminate that and concentrate manpower on giving dwade a dope shoe!

  2. Now, I'll wait for Wade's 1st Jordan shoe, hope it's a good one, then there will be some Jordan-Wade packages, hope he wears Air Jordans and retros, don't make a shoe as ugly as the Melos and CP3s…

  3. I wonder what's gonna happen with Marquette? Anybody know? Do they still have a contract with Converse? Are they gonna be sponsored by Jordan now?

  4. MONEY HUNGRY!!! the man was wearing converse 3 seasons straight then the fourth one comes out and he doesn't wear it!? No wonder it did not sell. The shoe was comfy and excellent for balling, not to mention at a good price they had a model of his fifth converse shoe and it was beautiful. there is no guarantee he will have his own shoe anyways. he will probably only get PE's you have downgraded WADE you were the face of a brand and now you are one of many.

  5. its about time best player in the league with best shoes

    jordan flash

    staying with the heat forever

  6. Uh… why does Ray Allen never get any love when people list JB athletes!?

    After MJ, Ray has been the most consistent JB athlete over his career, and represents everything a JBer should be on and off the court.

  7. Next Move is his Best Move!! He coming back home in 2010..you see it happening already..first jordans shoe..next Jordans Building (UNITED CENTER) and Team(BUlls) lets go Chicago..DWADE.. .DROSE BACK COURT!!!

  8. Dwade in Bred 11's and 12's. i cant wait to see his player exclusives. and i bet his signature shoes are gonna be up the with lebron. i cant wait

  9. i can finally wear a pair of D Wades shoes without being embarassed!!! this was a fantastic move for jb, especially with him getting off his injury…..DWADE is here to stay!!!!

  10. TY! YES! I live here in Miami and I am a huge D-Wade fan. His Converse shoes are all basically garbage except the ones he wore this past post season. Finally, I can get a pair of Wade's kicks to match my Heat jerseys. Sigh, I sometimes lose my faith in JB, but then they pull me back in. Its CRACK!

  11. his airness,marquette university is changing to jb,as for wade finally something anyone would cop.

  12. Not a good thing, in few years you will only have Nike or JB shoes on court… No more choise for us buyers. RBK is dead soon, And 1 is dead, Adidas fihting to exist, New Balace, UnderArmor and Pony doesn t realy exist…

    Also, they are way to many signature shoes… that s why none of them will become as legendary as Jordan.

  13. OH YAH, DWADE GONNA ROCK THE MIAMI HEAT COLORWAY OF THE AJFS!!! WHOOOO YEAAAHHH!!!!! DWADE AJF XIII IS GONNA BE DOPE!

  14. its about time dwade is amazing on the court but when he was converse it didnt even matter cuzz he shoes were not amazing now dwade got style on and off the court

  15. one of my homies plays for marquette and they dropped converse and are sizing for jb gear already….

  16. i saw it coming….every player in the nba owns at least one pair of jordan. and wade showed us by rockin the retro 4 countdown on a pic….jordan brand will ever be on top of any brand and period..nike made the best choice when they signed mr.michael jordan!!

  17. Well i'll say that this seems to be a good deal. I'm happy as hell but I don't know how it'll turn out. JB shoes have not been too great with the signatures but I hope the D wade shoes will be hot. It would be cool to see him in some retros!

  18. As an avid Dwyane Wade fan, I am elated to here that he's signing with Jordan. I support him either way even though his converse were not the easiest things to look at, I still bought every pair just because they said "Wade". Can't wait to see a Flash/ Jordan prototype :)
