Dwyane Wade Wears the Jordan Element

Dwayne Wade Wears the Jordan Element

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.

First Look: Converse Wade 4

Converse Wade 4 United We RiseDwayne Wade, just coming off of knee surgery, was one of the best surprises and assets to Team USA in the Olympic Tournament. For most of the Games the US had little trouble dealing with opponents, but Wade’s 27 point in the Final was quite valuable to the team.

For the entire tournament Wade laced up in the Converse Wade Team Signature, but for the Finals he broke out the new Converse Wade 4 - but only for pre-game practice. This colorup was just like the other United We Rise edition sneakers worn in the Olympics by Team USA.

Overall the shoes aren’t bad, but not nearly as spectacular as his game play in the NBA (when his knees work) or in the Olympics. All in all, not a bad looking shoe, but I won’t be surprised if they make their way to the Marshalls clearance racks next to the other Converse Wades. Pics from China Size.
