Li-Ning & NBA star Dwyane Wade launch new apparel brand

China's leading sportswear company, Li-Ning Company, and NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade, announced the creation of a new athletic footwear and apparel brand called WADE, which will serve as the centerpiece of the corporation's growing international basketball strategy, and be shaped by an unprecedented level of creative and strategic direction from the two-time NBA Champion.

Mr. Li Ning and Wade announced the multi-year partnership at a press conference earlier today in Beijing. Elements will include a signature line of adult apparel and footwear, available soon at Li-Ning retail stores and online throughout China, and set to debut in the United States in 2013. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The unique partnership will seek to connect Wade's renowned methods of style, training, and personal growth with Li-Ning's values of dream, inspiration and enterprise. It will draw upon the similar business and athletic philosophies upheld by Wade and Mr. Li Ning, a three-time Olympic Gold Medalist in Gymnastics in 1984, and the final torchbearer, who lit the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games cauldron in one of the most memorable moments ever during an Olympic Opening Ceremony.

"I am so proud to welcome Dwyane Wade to the Li-Ning family," said Li Ning, Founder of Li-Ning Company. "Dwyane is a superstar for his athletic achievements, and also for the way he carries himself on and off the NBA court. I have come to understand what motivates him, what he cares about, and the personal and professional path he wants to take in the coming years.

There are remarkable similarities between Dwyane and myself in this regard, and I could not be more excited about developing a brand with him that speaks to those shared views. At the same time, the WADE brand will deliver the high quality and performance characteristics consumers have come to expect of our Company."

Wade will serve in an official capacity as Chief Brand Officer, and be responsible for guiding the creative direction of all WADE products. He will work with Li-Ning's WADE leadership team to spearhead the global marketing strategies and initiatives aimed to build brand awareness in the United States and China.

Wade will provide significant input and approval license of all future endorsers for the WADE brand, and be instrumental in selecting the athletes he feels best embody the presence, perspective and personality of the brand.

"I first visited China in 2008, when I competed in the Beijing Olympics, and was deeply moved by the country's genuine passion for basketball," said Wade. "I have been blessed with an opportunity to make an impact on the game in the United States, and I look forward to now being active with the sport on a more global level. I am honored to join forces with Li-Ning and grow the game, beginning in China, which is home to more basketball players–200 million–than any other country in the world."

Prior to the official launch of his signature shoe, Wade will wear two specially-created, high performance Li-Ning-branded basketball sneakers during upcoming Miami HEAT games, including two pre-season games to be played later this week in Beijing and Shanghai against the Los Angeles Clippers. Shoes from the first two preseason games will be held for auction in China.

The Company also has plans to launch a WADE kid’s footwear and apparel line in the future.

The natural pairing of philosophies will be told through a comprehensive marketing campaign of upcoming TV spots and other extensions.

The agreement with Li-Ning Company was brokered by CAA Sports, a division of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the world's leading entertainment and sports agency, on behalf of its client, Wade.
