One of the NBA’s most stylish men, Dwyane Wade, is a fashion icon. Whether it’s a big night such as the Met Gala or the launch party of his joint brand with his wife Gabrielle Union, the legend is always dressed in style, and he just decided to take it a notch higher with his collab with fashion giant Versace. His eyewear line with the brand has already started to grab headlines. 

In his latest interview with TV show host Jimmy Fallon, the legend spoke about his Oscar-nominated film, his new podcast as well as the all-new delightful men’s eyewear campaign. Wade’s journey into fashion began with a genuine appreciation for Versace’s designs. The brand’s creations not only caught his eye but also ignited his passion for fashion. Ever since, he has wanted to be a part of the brand’s fashion process. Fortunately, Versace’s creative team was on the same page. This mutual admiration led to a collaboration that saw Wade starring in the latest Versace Eyewear campaign, photographed by the revered Mario Testino.

He also brought along two pieces from his eyewear collection for the interview. Urging Fallon to try on the glasses, both the host and his guest were flaunting their good looks. ‘Easy E’s.’ Giving a special name to his new eyewear collection, he said, “I like to name things. So, I named these the Eazy E’s. Yes, my campaign is coming out really soon next week.”

The eyewear range introduces three bridged styles, comprising two sunglasses and one optical frame, each showcasing reinterpretations of the iconic Medusa symbol. Gold detailing and an embossed Medusa on the thick bridge and temple plaques take center stage.

About the campaign, Wade said in an interview, “When the opportunity came to further our relationship last year and to be a part of this Versace Eyewear campaign, I was like, ‘Oh, wait, low-key, this is something I’ve always wanted to do.”  The campaign will be released next week, Monday. Moreover, the Miami Heat legend also informed both the host and his fans on another lesser-known fact about the brand.

Dwyane Wade says it’s Versa’chay’ not Versa’chee’

During the show, Wade also took a moment to teach something to both the audience and Fallon. He taught them the correct pronunciation of the renowned fashion brand. Politely correcting Fallon’s pronunciation, Wade clarified that it’s not “Ver-sa-CHEE” but rather “Ver-sa-CHAY.”
