Dwyane Wade Will Officially Join Li-Ning

October 1st 2012 | 130 comments

words // Nick DePaula

After just three years with the Jordan Brand, Miami Heat star guard Dwyane Wade will soon be officially joining Li-Ning.

Fellow Li-Ning signature athlete Evan Turner announced the move on Twitter just now, saying he'd like to "welcome the homie D Wade to the Li-Ning family!" 

We first profiled this summer's great crop of sneaker free agents this past August, speculating the move that aims to grow Wade's global brand throughout the China market.

Now with Wade on the verge of finally being official with Li-Ning, Blake Griffin's return to Nike Basketball and Ricky Rubio's longtime agreed deal with adidas Basketball, we're still awaiting word on what moves James Harden and Russell Westbrook will make. Westbrook is said to be making his decision -- between Jordan Brand or adidas -- this week.

Stay tuned for an official brand announcement from Li-Ning soon, and keep your eyes on the Miami Heat's matchup with the LA Clippers on October 11 in Beijing for the NBA's "China Games." You can expect to see a more formal Wade welcoming from Li-Ning then.

For the playoffs, Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade has switched from his Li-Ning Way of Wade signature shoe into its .5-style follow-up, the Way of Wade Encore.

Continuing to enjoy his newly formed partnership with Li-Ning, Dwyane Wade laced up yet another colorway of his Way of Wade signature shoe earlier tonight.

Free J's for life and you're set? Talk about low expectations.

JB didnt want Wade. his shoes didnt sell. although JB is to blame for that. fly wade had zero appeal outside of an on court bb product. no casual sales- which is nike/jb customer base

[quote="all things striped"][quote="xavdiesel"][quote="DP28"][quote="Gnarled"][quote="jordan_swag"]his shoes didnt look good at JB so , why not move if the shoes look better . does the brand matter that much to you ?[/quote] Although I must admit, sometimes it's just the tech in the shoe. I would think that Nike has better tech than Li-Ning.[/quote] You don't need rocket science to make basketball shoes. What I can tell you is that Wade is in good hands in Li Ning basketball shoes quality. I'm not professional player but I love to play in my Li Nings. For professional player example, Shaq is the proof as he wore Li Nings for many years. [/quote] And look what happened to Shaq... LOL [/quote] so 19 seasons in the nba still doesn't cut it for you i guess. [/quote] Lol...schooled and owned...
