Kicks On Court: Is Dwyane Disgruntled With Converse? - January 6th, 2009
Posted by George Kiel III | Jan 6, 2009 The answer to that question is probably yes…just look at his feet! Two weeks before the basketball season began, we showed you photos of Dwyane Wade’s fourth signature sneaker, the Converse Wade 4. Usually, when a signature shoe is released, the player is often seen on the court wearing it; however, why have we yet to see ‘Flash’ rocking the Wade 4?
Throughout our Kicks On Court, we have spotted Wade hooping in the Converse Wade 1 night in and night out. I wonder how Converse feels by designing a signature sneaker for one of its athletes only to never see him hooping in it! If you recall, during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, some of the signature sneaker athletes (LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony) debuted their latest sneaker while ‘Flash’ hooped in a Converse team signature sneaker. When D Wade’s Converse contract is up, could these signs be pointing towards a Nike or JB signing? Considering the Miami Heat’s jerseys, wouldn’t it be nice to see Wade sporting some OG colorway Jordan sneakers?
