Dwayne Wade & Converse: Same Day, Same Story? Uncategorized / Nov 12, 2008 / 9:10 am

“Dwayne Wade’s belief is stronger than your doubt.” Travel along with Wade and Converse as they chronicle the guard’s ascension towards superstardom amidst doubters, haters, and academic problems. I love this commercial and have loved Dwayne since I saw him play in person years ago when he was at Marquette. His game is the epitome of smooth, a combination of basketball savvy and calculated athleticism. I also dig the Wade IV, (Though a Chevron logo across the middle panel would’ve been exponentially hotter than the standard circle-star format!) a shoe that’s been met with plenty of displeasure on message boards across the Internet.

   Since he entered the league. He’s been a joy to watch. Plays for the love of the game and not the money. Something that’s very hard to do in today’s N.B.A. business approach. I call him the Ring. Healthy he’s like a big A.I. with a serial killer approach(pardon the analogy) 4th qtr he’s scoring and winning at at will and all expense. He

   Different strokes for different folks, JH! People have clamored over the sharkfin inspired 1.0’s since day 1. Didn’t like them personally, and to this day fail to see any part of them appealing.

   I’ll put up goodies re: the IV later this week!

   Wade is one of my favorite players right now. The media has given him sort of an underdog story, but am I the only one who realized he never lost it? His sneakers, in my opinion, are very awkward. The designs are very odd to look at, almost like they couldnt pick a direction to go with them (I feel the same way with Melo’s). I do like the Christmas joints that came out a couple years ago and Im kinda feelin the new black colorway. I find the white ones with the orange camo hideous. Im interested to see how they feel on the court.
