Miami Heat is on a roll! Hot Devon Wade! This is the strongest team in the NBA today! This is the hottest star in the NBA today!
Although the draft results are not as good as James and Anthony, Wade's stamina can not be underestimated. Last season, when James lost the playoffs again and Anthony lost in the first round twice, "Flash" further rewritten the rookie season to enter the Eastern Conference semifinals: enter the Eastern Conference finals! Despite O 'Neill's super partner, the "Shark" who has just returned from injury in the playoffs is in poor condition, and the responsibility of controlling the team still falls on this small defender who is only1.93m..
Wade didn't disappoint. If it weren't for the waist injury, the team that entered the finals in the East might be the Heat, not the Pistons. In the new season, the Heat recruited and formed a luxury lineup, and O 'Neill also renewed his contract, but the core of the team is still the young Wade.
Wade is one of the best players in the league this season. In the absence of O 'Neill for a long time, Wade became the only pillar of the team. The Heat also successfully reached the playoffs with the second best result in the East, and once again rushed into the Eastern Conference finals. Facing the old rival Pistons, Wade smashed the opponent's proud defense with a lightning breakthrough and led the team to lead 3-/kloc-0-0, only one step away from the finals.
How good is his performance? Just look at the reaction of fans.
This season, Wade's jerseys sold far more than others, ranking first in the league. James, Iverson, Kobe and others can only sigh. The NBA has been investigating the sales of jerseys for several years. All the data of the survey come from the sporting goods stores in NBA official website and Manhattan, new york, USA, which is quite authoritative. This is the third year in a row that a player has topped the sales list of jerseys in one year. Last year, this honor went to Wade's teammate shaquille o'neal, whose jersey sales surged due to his move to Miami. In the 2003-04 season, James, who just joined the NBA and was hailed as the emperor's next superstar, sold the best jerseys. Compared with these two men, Wade completely conquered the hearts of fans by strength.
No wonder Heat coach Riley was complacent about his original decision: when negotiating with the Lakers to exchange O 'Neal, he rejected the Lakers' proposal to put Wade in the trade. In his view, Wade is priceless and absolutely not for sale.
Moreover, Wade outside the stadium is also a beloved star. In August 2005, Wade became an ambassador of love and donated 225 pairs of converse basketball shoes to the second NYSP Youth Basketball Camp held in Milwaukee.
"These donated sneakers prove the love of the outside world for children," said Matt, deputy director of NYSP training camp. "This is the biggest donation of new shoes we received this summer." Matt spoke highly of Wade's donation: "It is especially valuable for players like Wade to give back to society. Wade is a real role model for children, not only because of his outstanding performance on the court, but also because he has set a good example outside the court. "
Converse is also happy for his good eyesight. James, the "little emperor" who entered the NBA that year, got a seven-year contract of 90 million dollars from NIKE7. Anthony, the "melon", could earn 3 million dollars a year, and converse only spent 400,000 dollars on Wade. Now converse can live for several years, because they renewed Wade's contract for six years. Although millions of dollars are paid to him every year, everyone thinks that converse made the right choice because Wade is worth the price.
"My name can become a brand, which is very attractive to Wade; Converse's sincerity also prompted him to make a decision. " When talking about the cooperation between the two sides, Wade's agent Hunter? Thomas said. Wade can finally be on an equal footing with James and Anthony and enjoy the treatment of top stars.
Heaven rewards diligence.
Converse Wade made his debut.
For such a hot star, it is unthinkable not to have his own signature shoes. After seeing Wade's incredible performance, people began to expect converse's signature shoes tailored for him.
Surprisingly, converse did not launch Wade's signature basketball shoes in the summer of 2005, but first designed and launched a retro style Wade County casual shoes for it. The reason is that, on the one hand, the hot summer is not the popular season for basketball shoes; On the other hand, Wade is different from James. He is usually a low-key and silent person. Only when he is on the court can he be the omnipotent "Flash". Wade's light can only shine in the game.
What should come will always come. On June 3rd, 2005,165438+1October 3rd, the Heat started a new season, and Wade also turned a new page in business. CONVERSE WADE, the first pair of signature shoes of "Flash", finally appeared, not only in the NBA, but also in the world. The price of $90 is low in star signature shoes, but it won't have any adverse effect on Wade. Just as no one thinks Wade will be worse than the first four because of his fifth overall position, the Converse Wade series can make the history from behind repeat itself.
CONVERSE WADE, as WADE's first pair of signature shoes, has the owner's brand all over his body: the words "Wade" are printed on the heel, the top of the tongue and even the toe; Above the shoelace buckle is the lightning number "3". It can be seen that converse has promoted Wade to a superstar. The asymmetric design of new shoe uppers has both an alternative street style and converse's strong American style.
The "0.8" second countdown pattern on the heel side is the highlight of converse Wade's design, which was inspired by Wade's fatal blow to turn the tables on the new york Knicks in March 16, 2005. Being able to hit the key ball is one of the qualities that a superstar should have. Wade's performance proves that he can be the best player in NBA, and signature shoes are his due "treatment".
Converse Wade did not apply the excellent shock absorption technology newly developed by Converse-ICON. It does not blindly pursue high-tech stacking, but pays more attention to the harmony and perfection of performance. Star signature shoes with excellent cost performance are the most attractive features of converse wade. The strong appeal formed by Wade's personal charm is enough to make this shoe get enough attention. In the sales ranking of Amazon.com in June 2005, 1 1, this shoe ranked second in the website sales ranking!
In the 2006 Houston All-Star Game, converse launched Wade's All-Star Style, which shows that converse is full of confidence in it and believes that "Flash" has the ability to win a place in this highly competitive market. Converse Wade is sold in the form of a set together with Converse PRO leather goods, and the public price of 175 dollars is also the highest recently. Unique packaging design, all-star special color matching, perfect combination of sports and leisure, this Wade bound edition is definitely a classic collection. Wade also made the best comment for this sneaker with his wonderful performance: he won the championship in the skill competition and scored the winning goal in the All-Star Game, helping the Eastern Army beat the Western Army by two points.
Converse Wade, like Wade who just entered the NBA, is low-key, practical and worthwhile. "Flash" has been recognized as an NBA star. Now, Converse Wade, who just appeared as a star, has proved himself: I am no worse than anyone else.
make persistent efforts
Now, Wade has become a member of Dream Seven, and it is almost certain that he will participate in the men's basketball world championships held in Japan this year. This summer, we can see the performance of "Flash" in the world series. And welcome the summer with Wade, and the latest sneakers designed by converse for Wade-Wade II.
Wade II is a pair of shoes specially designed for summer, which can be seen from its low-cut design. Compared with the first generation, the second generation has not changed much in appearance, but has changed in some details. The design style tends to be more concise and more suitable for summer wear.
Wade II inherited many advantages of Wade I. The cutting design on the upper was preserved, and its design was inspired by the shark's cheek, which can improve the ductility of shoes. And most importantly, this design greatly improves the air permeability of shoes, which is especially important in summer. Obviously, Wade II performed quite well in this respect.
Wade's second-generation sole pattern adopts 3D injection design, and the cross-shaped three-dimensional pattern has excellent grip performance, which improves the wearer's starting speed. Moreover, Wade II uses wear-resistant glue, so even in the outfield of cement floor, the shoes are still very durable, so don't worry about "reimbursement soon".
Wade logo is still printed on the front end of the tongue, heel and shoelaces, while the Converse LOGO inclined at the top of the first generation tongue has been changed into a positive LOGO, and the "0.8" pattern on the side of the heel has also become the word "Converse", which is consistent with the simple style of the whole shoe.
Although it is a low-cut shoe, the stability of Wade II is still very good. After tying the shoelaces, the shoes can tightly wrap the feet and will not slide left and right. There is a fixed piece behind the heel to stabilize the heel, which has first-class support performance. The shoes are made of smooth silk boots, which are not only tough, but also very thin, and the wearer will not feel any pressure.
Wade once said: "When you think of the great predecessors who walked through ALL STAR, you will think of doing things well and taking the right path like them. I am honored that I am from converse. " Today, Wade and his shoes match well.
