Jordan Brand announces the signing of All Star guard and Olympic champion Dwyane Wade to its roster of Team Jordan athletes. He will now join his elite counterparts to make up a stellar jordan brand roster. Wade’s shift to Jordan Brand fulfills a lifelong dream that started in the early days of his basketball career on the playgrounds of the Windy City. A winner at all levels of his career; Wade set multiple basketball records while playing at Harold L. Richards High School in Oaklawn, Illinois. He later went on to become an All-American at Marquette University and was the 5th pick in the 2003 draft which included current Team Jordan athlete Carmelo Anthony. As a pro basketball scoring leader, he’s accumulated many accolades including a gold medal as part of the U.S. Men’s Basketball Team at the 2008 Summer Olympics, five-time All Star, named the finals MVP in 2006 and led his team to a world championship in the same year.
“For me, the move to Jordan Brand is a dream come true,” said Dwyane Wade. “As a kid, I grew up on the south side of Chicago idolizing Michael Jordan and have worked hard to achieve the same success that he’s had on the court. I have enormous respect for this brand and all that it stands for. I’m humbled to be a part of the Team Jordan family and I’m looking forward to a great future.”
Team Jordan athletes embody the principles that have defined Michael Jordan’s athletic and professional career – dedication, excellence, innovation, and achievement. An elite group of athletes hand-picked by Michael Jordan, they individually excel both as athletes within their respective sports and as members of their communities.
“I’m thrilled to have Dwyane Wade join the Team Jordan family,” said Michael Jordan. “In his short time in the league, Dwyane has transformed himself into one of the game’s best and is the embodiment of leadership both on and off the court, a signature trait of our athletes. As the Jordan franchise approaches its silver anniversary, Dwyane will become a pinnacle member of the Jordan roster poised to help lead the Brand for years to come.” via kixfiles.com
By far the most anticipated pair of Jordans to be released this year. The Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam”, worn by Michael Jordan in the 1996 movie, will be re-released on November 27th 2009. I believe they were released originally in 2001, with the recent growth in the sneakerhead culture expect to wait in long lines and be ready to spend between $175 and $300 on these. The sneaker will be released as a limited quickstrike edition, they will not be very easy to get your hands on.
Initially I thought the Air Jordan 60+ was another variation of the Spiz'ike, but it seems the style seems to be growing on folks. The Air Jordan 60+ takes features from all of the shoes Jordan played in while scoring 60 or more points: the Air Jordan I, the Air Jordan II, the Air Jordan V and the Air Jordan VII. This particular colorway consists of black nubuck and textured leather with a few hints of white and Varsity Red. These will be available at Jordan retailers August 15th.via nicekicks.com
Dont get your hopes up, there will not be an officail retail release in the United States.The shoes will release as an international exclusive relaease. Expect to have to pay higher prices with foreign currency exchanges and shipping costs. The Air Jordan 3 True Blue is available online now ahead of the release at RMK starting at $229. I know this is mighty steep for a pair of Retros, but im sure the "real" sneakerheads will be all over these. viaDailyDrop
