Dwyane Wade's Son Gets His First Signature Shoe

Zaire Wade will wear the shoe dubbed "The Li-Ning Son of Flash"
In this story:

Zaire Wade is trying to follow the footsteps of his NBA legend father, Dwyane. 

It hasn't gone as expected but the younger Wade is already in the class of his Pops. Zaire recently released his first signature shoe called "The Li-Ning Son of Flash." 

Zaire will wear them when he makes his debut playing for the Cape Town Tigers of Basketball Africa League. He did not play in college but spent last season with the Utah Jazz's G League affiliate. His father is part owner of the Jazz. 

The elder Wade helped put Li-Ning on the map when he left Nike to join the Chinese-based apparel company that has since acquired Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors), C.J. McCollum (New Orleans Pelicans) as well as many other NBA players. 

 The idea is Zaire Wade has an impressive showing for Cape Town and increases his already growing brand. He has more than two million followers on Instagram.
