"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Dwyane Wade might be ending his deal with Nike. (Issac Baldizon/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Miami Heat all-star Dwyane Wade will reportedly not re-sign with Nike's Jordan Brand when his contract is up at the end of September and will instead enter into a deal with Chinese shoe brand Li-Ning, according to SneakerWatch.com:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SneakerWatch has received confirmation that Dwyane Wade will no longer be repping Jordan Brand. Instead Wade has made his way to Chinese brand Li-Ning in a speculated multi-million dollar deal. No official words from either side yet but expect an announcement some time in the next few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wade had signed with Nike in 2009 and during their partnership the brand had released two Fly Wade sneakers. Nike will look to replace Wade while Li-Ning will most certainly boost its presence in China and expand its brand in the U.S.; its list of clients included two of Wade's former teammates, Shaquille O'Neal and Damon Jones. Jose Calderon, Hasheem Thabeet and Evan Turner are currently endorsed by Li-Ning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The news comes a month before Wade and the Heat play two exhibition games in China.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The story was also reported by Heat beat writer Ira Winderman of &lt;em&gt;The South Florida Sun-Sentinel&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;,\u00A0&lt;/em&gt;who was told by Wade on Sept. 7 that he is still in the midst of discussing the deal with the Chinese-based company:\"We're still negotiating, until you get to the point where you decide which way to go. There's many shoe companies that obviously know that I'm up this summer. But I still have the respect for and the obligation and the willingness to sit down and to the company I'm with.\"&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
