Dwyane Wade is well-known for his novel approach to dressing. When it comes to his off-court clothing choices, the Miami Heat guard is always thinking outside the box. From fitted, ankle-bearing Gucci suits to thick-rimmed eyewear, he’s sartorially experimental, with a style that rarely goes unnoticed.
Entering the design game was a natural progression for Wade, who already boasts collections with Li-Ning footwear and Stance Socks. In his latest fashion venture, the NBA star has teamed up with The Tie Bar to design an exclusive collection of neckwear and accessories. Wade is sharing his fashion expertise with the masses, offering the everyday man a simple way to emulate his style and swagger.
The Chicago-based company is known for its budget-friendly men’s ties. In addition to Wade, the brand’s athlete fans include Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul and Cam Newton. Wade’s collection with The Tie Bar includes a range of bow ties, neckties, pocket squares, tie bars and cufflinks. Items feature bright colors and an array of prints such as polka dot, camo, houndstooth and paisley designs.
Prices range from $25 for ties and bow ties to $30 for cufflinks. The “Dwyane Wade for The Tie Bar” collection is currently available here.
