Wade addresses split from Jordan Brand
Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, October 03, 2012 with 21 comments
A few weeks back The Real NBA brought you the news that Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade would be leaving the Jordan Brand. Wade had been a member of the Jordan Brand since 2009 but his initial 3 year contract expired in September. For the first time yesterday after practice, Wade addressed the situation.
“I really can’t comment on my new deal yet,” Wade said. “But what I can say is that I did mutually part ways with the Jordan umbrella, with Jordan and Converse, but we have parted ways and I’ll be moving on.....We had a great three years.....It’s just at that time. We went our separate ways, but I’m still honored to have represented my favorite player of all time and his brand and the opportunity that I was given. So I’m not disappointed at all.”

I'm glad he left the Jordan brand wade is big enough to have his own name....Jordan is just making money of these guys fame, I wish CP3 would leave as well

A dump ass all shoe company does that not just Jordan
DeleteA dumb ass dont you think I know that....Jordan still gets a percentage of the sale because its his name and his emblem
DeleteTerry-
Makin money off these guys fame? U sound silly as fuck dude. Jordan was makin money off of JORDAN way b4 these little boys was even thought about. Jordan dont need these niggas to sell shoes. Get ya head outa d wades ass terry.
DeletePreach there you go with that gay shit....nigga are you gay dawg like for real? My head aint in nobodys ass bruh if you knew business and marketing and had sense which you obviously dont thats exactly what Jordan is doing....yeah Jordan is a good brand all by itself but he makes even more money by getting some of the NBA's top and most popular players to sign with his brand....if cp3 and dwade were both trash players and were'nt popular do you think Jordan wouldve offered them a contract??? Hell fucking no! Which proves my point Jordan is using these guys success and popularity to make more money than he already is....and most of them are quick to sign the contract because most of them idolized MJ growing up

I remember when Ray Allen was in his prime he was with the Jordan brand just like melo is right now Jordan making money off these niggas and it dont take a rocket scientist to see that....now Jordan has taken it a step further by signing guys to contracts fresh out of college like jared sullinger, kidd- gilchrist because he knows as these rookies fan base begin to grow so will his pockets
DeleteTerry-
Yea dont lebron do the same thing with his mangement team he got or wateva it is? Trying to catch them boys comin outa college? Like u said its business and them boys jump at the opportunity than thats on them but thank u for makin my points for me. But nigga like me cant even tell if they melos, cp3's, or wades cause all i c is they Jordans with his fuckin symbol so like i say u sound silly as hell cause his sneakers gonna sell regardless. I mean i c sum blue jordans its like they could b melos but then again dont clips got that same color blue? So maybe these the cp3's then? But hold up wat if they got sum red in them? O these could b d wades? Man i dont know all i know is they fuckin JORDANS regardless of these boys co signing there name or not there fuckin jordans !! He dont need them to make no money....boy stop.
DeleteTerry just leave it along talking to preach is like talking to a rock dude think he knows It all and dont know shit
DeleteBoth of yall sound rediculous. I mean terry talkin like jordan jackin these boys when they sign they contract or somethin? Gtfoh! And its all n defense of his boy d wade. U c terry thats why i have to call these heat players out and bash they fans cause stupid mutherfuckers like yall talk and act like all things with basketball started and ended with the miami heat. Bitch please, didnt wade sign his new deal with a fuckin dress shoe company? Totally fuckin different! And probably had nothin to do with how much jordan was makin off him or vice versa so get real silly bitch. Respect opinion and i will respect yours
Delete-heat fan killer
Preach you should change your name from preach NBA to "I dont know what the fuck I'm talking about nba"....you actually believe somebody would still buy those ugly ass shoes if a superstars name wasnt tied to them just because the fucking Jordan emblem is on them cp3 wade and melo shoes are ugly as fuck....I hope you never decide to own a business
DeleteI agree they ugly as fuck but if u believe people r buying them just because of wade and others name r tied to them then u r fuckin delusional! Hell most niggas r rockin throwbacks (1-18) any way not the them ugly shits we r argueing about so i can bet without looking that them shits aint sellin like that anyway! Common sense...take a look around, u just said they ugly, so again he dont need them niggas to sell his sneakers certain jordans gonna sell regardless u clowns. Jordans that came out way b4 a fuckin wade or cp3 entered the nba
Delete*off
ReplyDeleteAll wade and cp3 kicks are ugly as fuck, appreal is another story but Jordan should jus stand alone when it comes to his jumpman emblem being on sneakers..
ReplyDeleteSo its wrong for Jordan to make money out of using Wades name even though Wade gets a cut? Let's hope he signs with some one less money driven like Adidas for example... I'm sure they and every other shoe company just do it for the love... they wouldn't dream of doing it to make money, that's just wrong...
ReplyDeleteYeh he signed with some asian brand
DeleteThank u. He talk like jordan taken advantage of somebody, just rediculous
DeleteDamn preach the more you talk the dumber you sound Jordan is making money off these dudes yeah they get a cut but its a very very small cut because Nike and Jordan get the bulk of the money cp3 wade and melo are big enough names to have their own brand look at marbury that motherfucker came out with the ugliest shoes ever called starbury and they sold in walmart and he made millions....I bet when wades shoes start to sell in Asia he will make far more than he did with Jordan
ReplyDelete^^^exactly that's all I was saying but preach is to dumb to comprehend and damn I forgot about the starbury shoes lmao them hoes was ugly but he made a grip
ReplyDeleteTerry-
i understand that but dont make it sound like jordan need these boys or that he was takin advantage or gettin over on anybody. U say jordan makin money off they fame like wade didnt make shit. did u c the contracts terry? how about the other smart guy, did u see wat everybodys cut was? I will wait for ya response since U SMART GUYS know it all
DeleteYou dont need to see the damn contract its business and commonsense which you don't seem to have....how in the hell will jordan and Nike make a profit with the athlete getting the bulk of the money...it doesn't work that way man I guess commonsense isn't so common smh
ReplyDeleteTerry-
so u think these players sign these contract not knowing that???? u sound stupid as fuck dude. pleease let me see u comment on something else besides defending wade b4 u talk about wat the fuck i know about bball! u fuckin worm...waitin on another nigga to comment b4 u put ya name by shit because u dont know shit ya scary lillte bitch.
