Wade to Endorse Li-Ning

October 3, 2012

 

Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade has officially departed Jordan Brand and reportedly joined Beijing-based company Li-Ning.

Wade had been with Jordan Brand since 2009, his contact expired on October 1.

“The Jordan Brand and Dwyane Wade have mutually agreed to end our relationship. We wish Dwyane well as he continues his career,” Jordan Brand said.

Wade said: “We went our separate ways. I still feel honored to have represented my favorite player of all-time and his brand, and the opportunity I was given. But I’m not disappointed at all.”

On Monday, Philadelphia 76er Evan Turner, who represents Li-Ning, tweeted a welcome to Wade that was later removed.

The terms of Wade’s contract with Li-Ning are yet to be disclosed.{jcomments on}
