Why are all of the pro players moving away from US brands. I just read that Rajon Rondo moved away from Nike to an Asian company as well.

Rondo moved to Anta back before the season began. I honestly think it has more to do with money. If you are not a sig player than you aren't receiving top money.

I feel like a lot of people laughed/were skeptical about Wade when he moved to Li-Ning as well, and rightfully so to some degree. They are are a major sports retailer overseas but their presence is miniscule here. I guess it's similar to how Kobe is marketed in Asia because he's HUGE there, much more so than in the US. Not sure where I'm going with this except that there's room in the mix for smaller retailers and it's not just limited to Nike, especially ones like Li-Ning who drop (and hopefully continue) heat like this.

Yeah its odd, i tried a couple days ago and they were gone. But i went on today randomly and they had a 10.5 yoth for me. I checked other sizes and they were good too. Guess its gone now?

Thats true, i was so salty about dwayne wade signing with lining. Turns out i underestimated lining and wade by a landslide. Even go back and check the beginning of this thread, some people werent feeling the move haha

No idea on what retailers will have them, sorry. They will be limited, though.
Pm'd you a bit back but you never answered. Its cool though, do you know if all lining retailers in china are releasing them and are they real limited? Thanks for the heads up.

I'm sure if you look thru the first few pages of this thread you'll see a negative remark from me. And absolutely love them now that I've had em in hand and on feet

I decided to go back to the beginning of this thread a few weeks ago and there was nothing much more than many "WTF's" and once initial images of the WoW 1 hit, they were the "Payless Specials"... What a difference a year makes. I was prob one of the few who liked and have a good number of Wade's Jordan kicks, but I was very interested in where Li-Ning was going to go with him.
I thought the 1's were good but I was unable to get my hands on a pair. I love the 2's and have several pairs. I only hope they continue to push with great colorways and designs. Love where they are going so far, and as any owner knows the QUALITY is unmatched.

I'm sure if people had an idea of the material quality Li Ning offered their initial opinions would've differed upon Wade's signing. Considering the quality I kinda wish that rumor of Lebron considering Li Ning was a real possibility.
Only downside at this point is Wade's limited time as a prime time player. Hopefully he will open the gates for more Superstar players to consider following in his footsteps. The Sneaker culture not only wants these quality products, it NEEDS them.
