The Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade confirmed rumours that he has parted ways with Nike and its Jordan brand. Sources said Wade is signing an endorsement deal with Li Ning.
Wade's contract expired at the end of September and the sides made what Wade called a mutual decision to not extend the agreement. Wade said his time with Converse and Jordan has been an “unbelievable nine years.”
Wade made the switch from Converse to Jordan Brand in 2009.
Wade, who counts Michael Jordan as his idol to this day, said Tuesday that he still feels “honored to have represented my favorite player of all time and his brand.”
