Vintage Converse Dwayne Wade 1 Logo Double Sided Sneaker Promo Y2K RARE OOP.

By 2005, Wade had his first signature with Converse, the Wade 1, designed by Duane Laurence. It is remembered for its classic “Fall down 7, Get up 8” commercial. The penultimate memory attached to the Wade 1, though, is the baller's first-ever NBA Finals win and Finals MVP performance

Though drafted after Bosh, Wade was viewed as the foreman of “The First School” and was given a six-year, $2.4 million dollar shoe deal with Converse, a far cry from fellow draft pick Anthony’s and James’ $21 million and $90 million dollar contracts, respectively — and he certainly outplayed that deal. By 2005, Wade had his first signature with Converse, the Wade 1, designed by Duane Laurence. It is remembered for its classic “Fall down 7, Get up 8” commercial. The penultimate memory attached to the Wade 1, though, is the baller’s first-ever NBA Finals win and Finals MVP performance. The shoe sold more that 1 million pairs worldwide.

The season after winning a championship, the Wade signature line added two new entries with the Wade 1.3 and the Wade 2 dropping in 2006. Neither shoe sold nearly as well as the Wade 1. In 2007, Converse released the Wade 3. Now a household name, the Wade 3 release debuted with another memorable campaign entitled “A Kid from Robbins.” Composed of soft leather and nubuck on the upper, the Wade 3 also implemented enhanced technology that included an internal shank plate and sculpted compression molded EVA cushioning. More importantly, a USA-themed Wade 3 was its namesake’s sneaker of choice throughout the Redeem Team’s run to a gold medal during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
