Back in the fall of 2012, Dwyane Wade revealed that after departing Jordan Brand he would enter into a partnering deal with relatively unknown Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning. At the time, his announcement was both bizarre and admirable all at once.
Now, four years later, what was once seen as a troubling departure from tradition is heralded as a brave and insightful move. The Li-Ning Way of Wade 5 “Announcement” pays tribute to Wade’s business accruement and a partnership that continues to flourish.
Dressed fittingly in Chicago Bulls colors that overlay mesh construction and reflective detailing, the WoW 5 “Announcement” will first release on November 13 at DTLR with an exclusive in-store meet-and-greet with Wade on Sunday, November 13, from 3-4pm at the Madison and Pulaski location. A wider release will follow on November 26 at Edition Boutique in Miami and wayofwade.com.
