Dwyane Wade Converse: D
This commercial is supposed to be soooooooooo introspective and make you think, “Man, that shit is deep, son!”.
But it makes me feel like I’m watching something I should not be privy to. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Maybe what D-Wade does behind closed doors in an NBA arena should remain between himself and the 20,000+ seats.
Also, this is a good ad for… Dwyane Wade. But what product is this for, again? Is it for an indie flick? A documentary? D-Wade’s audition for Michael Buffer’s job?

Yeah, I just can’t get behind this one. First, every time I see it, I stop paying attention while he’s walking out onto the court, so I actually had to rewatch it to see what he says into the mic.
Second, that’s not really what Wade is about, in my opinion. He’s hard working, gritty and fun–not elegant and self-serving. This one totally missed the mark.
