Well folks, it’s a wrap on Dwyane Wade’s Jordan Brand career, as this week marks the official announcement of Dwyane Wade’s new endorsement deal with Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning. As one final send off for the man we thought it appropriate to put together a quick photo retrospective detailing his time with the company, a time that you have to imagine could have resulted in so much more had all the pieces clicked into place. Wade was a young Chicagoan, a superstar, and probably the athlete on the JB roster most built like Mike himself, but for whatever reason those elements apparently didn’t translate into the sales you would anticipate. Flip through our Dwyane Wade Air Jordan gallery and stay tuned with us as we keep our eyes on any youngsters to possibly fill that spot (we’re looking at you Russ).

Ever since the rumors that Dwyane Wade was leaving Jordan Brand first popped up over a month ago there have been plenty of tell-tale signs all but confirming his departure. No details on his next signature sneaker with Team Jordan, no homages to him or the Heat in the upcoming colorways-it seemed like the end was inevitable. As of now things have indeed been confirmed, with Li-Ning athlete Evan Turner taking to Instagram to welcome him on board with the Chinese footwear giant. Drop us a line in the comments and let us know how you feel about the new arrangement and stay tuned with Jordans Daily as we say goodbye to this prized Jordan Brand athlete.

Dwyane Wade’s Jordan Brand tenure isn’t the only connection to MJ that he’s got, after all the man grew up in Chicago idolizing Jordan as a hometown hero. Apparently those two connections nearly combined to pull Flash out to play for the Bulls from the Miami Heat. During a recent sit-down ahead of his Wade’s World foundation fundraiser Wade brought up a time in 2010 when he visited the Bulls, right around the same time they were trying to entice future teammates Chris Bosh and LeBron James. While the move obviously never materialized Wade cited the organization’s gift of a Chicago Bulls jersey featuring his number 3 that made it particularly hard to turn down, saying that he “turned into a kid again” when he put it on.

Rumors are floating about that the Dwyane Wade and Jordan Brand partnership may soon come to an end. While nothing is set in stone as of yet, word is that the Jordan Fly Wade 3 has been cancelled and that he may be making the move to Chinese footwear company Li-Ning. Why the split? One of the cited reasons includes lackluster sales for the Jordan Fly Wade line. Stay with Jordans Daily for more concrete info as the story develops and we find out whether or not Dwyane Wade is leaving Jordan Brand.

The annual Michael Jordan Flight School basketball camp is one of those rare events that MJ himself can be spotted at, an event that as you can imagine usually has a good amount of Air Jordan swag up for grabs. This year’s event left a bit of a sour taste in the mouth of attendee Karim Khatib, who received the above pictured pair of Jordan Fly Wade sneakers boasting the autograph of Wade himself. Only thing is that when Khatib took to Twitter to show off the sneaks Wade responded back assuring him that that was not his actual autograph (and the sneakers themselves are a bit suspect, we can’t recall a pair of the first Fly Wade’s with that logo on the tongue). Click through for shots from the exchange and stay with us for word on whether Jordan Brand rectifies the situation.

The days of Dwyane Wade getting outfitted with exclusive Air Jordan retro colorways are likely in the books, what with the man having his own footwear line within the JB umbrella to take care of him.

Hit the jump with us to get all the angles on this super rare PE, one that will no doubt enjoy an increased level of interest what with that Miami chip for 2012, and check out the price courtesy of oregonsole on eBay.

Our Olympic coverage has been unfortunately missing the likes of Dwyane Wade, with Flash opting out of the festivities this summer in order to better preserve his body what with that knee surgery and all.
