No. Try again.
I realize these shoes are player exclusives, and currently aren’t scheduled to ever be available for purchase…… but no. These are pretty much the ugliest sneakers I’ve ever seen, they’re even more hideous than the foamposites.

2009 has started out kinda rough or Dwayne Wade, first his wife Siohvaughn (lol) accused him of giving her herpes and abandoning their two children, now a disgruntled former business partner is contacting the media with scandalous accusations. Richard Von Houtman and Wade teamed up for several ventures that included restaurants, car rims, sunglasses, and clothing, but everything tanked. Von Houtman is still a little salty about losing money, so now he’s giving us the dirty details about Wade’s desire to have sex with every woman on earth.
Von Houtman rented a $1.7 million, two-story apartment in Miami Beach to serve as the headquarters for their marketing company, Wade Global Enterprises, but come nightfall Dwayne used the place to make it rain on them hoes.
““It was a four-bedroom place on the first floor of a high-rise,” said Von Houtman, who through 2007 met with Wade and/or Andrews almost daily. “One day, I got a call from my cleaning crew at the apartment. I went down there and what I saw was disgusting. The apartment was trashed, filthy, and it wasn’t the first time.”
Von Houtman described used condoms on the floor of the bedrooms, obvious signs of sexual activities on all the beds, empty champagne and hard-liquor bottles, nearly-finished blunts and half-eaten food rotting on tables and furniture.
“They’d have these parties in there two or three times a week,” Von Houtman said. “There were Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been a strong critic of NBA commissioner David Stern over the last few years. There have been a few instances where he totally rubbed me the wrong way, with my major gripe being the infamous dress code forced upon its players. The specific banning of necklaces, chains, pendants, and doo-rags pretty much said “we don’t want our black players to look like black players”, and it pissed me off.
The latest crop of players like Josh Childress, Carlos Delfino and Juan Carlos Navarro leaving the NBA to play overseas has accidentally started a firestorm of interest from top stars like Kobe, LeBron, and Dwayne Wade. LeBron spoke up first by stating he’d be willing to entertain a $50 million dollar deal to jump ship. Kobe followed suit by saying he wouldn’t sign another NBA contract until he tested the global market.
“As players, the business of the game (is) evolving, I think free agency now is becoming a global thing …. When players become free agents, the team they’re currently with – their competition is no longer the rest of the teams in the NBA. But it’s global. So, the market’s opened up. So we’ll just have to see how the league responds to it.”
…..then Wade threw in his two cents…
“They throw 30, 40, 50 million a year at me? I can’t turn that down,” said Heat star Dwyane Wade, a free agent in 2010.
Ba-da-da-pa-paaaaaaaa I’m Lovin It!!!
Kobe is so popular that there is speculation that he will create an international bidding war. Check out this video of Kobe walking through the crowd at the Beijing Olympics, kids are crawling all over themselves just to touch his arm.
Leaving the NBA could potentially turn these men (Kobe and LeBron) into billionaires over time if they play their cards right.
I spent a lot of time giving attention to things that don’t really matter like videos of drunk fans, and Kim Kardashian, so it’s necessary to have a little balance. I caught this story about Dwayne Wade buying his mother a church and thought you guys should see it.
For many years Dwayne Wade’s mom Jolinda abused drugs, wasted her life, and her activities eventually placed her on the run from the law. Things changed when she was persuaded by her daughter to attend church. The day in church sparked a chain of events that led to Jolinda turning herself in to the cops, going to prison, dedicating her life to god, and starting a ministry behind bars.
Jolinda Wade is now seven years sober and the proud owner of a church thanks to her son Dwayne.
“I respect my mother so much, from the life that she used to live and to see her today in the life that she lives. I’m so proud of her,” Dwyane Wade told The Associated Press before the service. “Everybody thinks I’m the miraculous story in the family. I think she is. I think what I’ve done means I’ve been very blessed, but she’s been more than blessed. She’s been anointed.”
