What's up, GQ?
0:00
I'm Dwayne Wade and here are my 10 essentials.
0:13
My chains, it's very rare you will see me without a chain on.
0:19
If you do, that means I'm waiting for my next chain to come in.
0:19
It's a part of, you know, me just growing up watching, you know, my dad and my uncles.
0:23
It's so versatile.
0:25
Like, it's it looks good when you're working out.
0:26
It looks good when you're dressed up.
0:28
Once you put your rings on and then you put your chain on, it just adds something to the outfit which, you know, adds something about your personality as well.
0:35
And so my chains, this essential right here, it's my journal.
0:44
And I have plenty journals.
0:45
It's one of the things that a lot of people gift me now.
0:46
I don't just get ties anymore.
0:48
Now I get journals.
0:50
Probably one of my favorite journal times in my life so far is the day after I had my kidney surgery.
1:00
The only thing I could do for the first week is journal.
0:55
I couldn't really move around that much.
1:01
I wasn't around a lot of people.
1:03
And so my journal was my friend.
1:04
My journal was where I can talk to about my journey back, the days and the moments of weakness and the moments of vulnerability and then the moments of strength.
1:13
And so now I go back and I read that moments.
1:18
I go back and I've read it to my daughter and sometimes I get up in the morning just like, what are my thoughts right away?
1:20
I'm a visionary.
1:22
I'm someone who I like to think forward and I think if you write it down, it allows you to be able to to actually go out and then put a plan together to be able to do the things you need to do.
1:31
If I want to start my own podcast, if I want to start my own digital show, what are the essentials of doing that?
1:35
Who are the people that can help me accomplish those things?
1:38
So, I think it's very important for you to have a checklist for yourself and my journal is my checklist.
1:50
It's essential.
1:50
It's obviously a laptop.
1:52
I just started recently traveling with this is I've started my own podcast, digital show and my own network.
1:56
But it's important to tap in.
1:57
I can get on with D and Chris and Bob and we can do our show.
2:02
You know, the pandemic showed all of us that we can connect with anywhere from around the world.
2:04
We can get business done.
2:06
Some days we have a lot of meetings set up and you know, this is where I can just pull this out anywhere I go and, you know, hop on and I can get to it.
2:20
When I spray, like it's the freshness, you know, of it for me.
2:24
Like I want to smell like I just came out the shower, like I'm freshly clean.
2:30
So this essential is from Estee Lauder.
2:33
It's called Intuition by Aramis.
2:35
I was lucky enough to be nabbed as one of the faces of the Intuition.
2:41
This was Estee Lauder's first fragrance and now this is the relaunch.
2:43
I always wanted to be one of them guys on a billboard around the world with his own fragrance.
2:48
Every day of my life, I put fragrance on.
2:50
It doesn't matter if I'm going to yoga, I'm going to the gym, if I'm going downstairs, obviously going to red carpet events.
2:56
No matter what I'm doing, every day of my life, you know, I make sure I walk away and I have a certain scent.
3:02
But for me, it's to hit that wrist first, you know, and then to smell it.
3:05
Then after I smell it, then after that, I hit my spots.
3:07
And one of my main spots is back here in the back of the neck.
3:10
Somebody hug me, I want them to get a little get a little sniff in the back.
3:14
You want a fragrance that, you know, puts you in a place?
3:16
You ever hug somebody or walk by somebody and it just took you back to a moment in your life just by smelling a certain scent?
3:23
It's very important for me when I walk in a room, you know, people know it's me.
3:33
This is old school just all black beat up do-rag.
3:52
You see it right here?
3:52
It's messed up.
3:52
This is culture.
3:52
This is power.
3:52
I grew up watching my father put his sporting wave on, brush his hair, trying to get waves.
3:52
The way he responded once he took that do-rag off.
3:50
Traveling a lot through the NBA.
3:50
You don't get a chance to always get haircuts.
3:53
You got big TV games, you got big moments, you want to make sure your hair is right.
3:57
Making sure you have your do-rag.
4:00
It just lays your hair down.
4:00
If you got a fresh cut like I have right now, and I want to keep this cut, I can't put my head on that pillow.
4:03
I got to put that do-rag on first.
4:07
You know, it's become a part of fashion in a sense.
4:07
But you know, this is something that we've always worn.
4:07
This passed down.
4:07
You know, you see your grandfather, your father, your uncles.
4:07
You see everybody wearing a do-rag because this is a part of our, you know, our culture.
4:15
This is like original.
4:17
This is that old polyester right here.
4:19
And we want to make it fashionable.
4:21
So now they got them with the velvet look on them.
4:24
When I grew up, you had black do-rag only.
4:28
We didn't have a lot of flavors.
4:28
Now you got flavors.
4:28
Now you got reds, you got whites, you got all these different colors.
4:28
But this is the OG.
4:28
This is very, very important in my travels.
4:28
I always make sure that I have a nice pair of sunglasses to take with me.
4:46
I wear a lot of hats when I travel and so you got to have the right sunglasses to fit with the hats.
4:50
For me, it's all about the weight of the sunglasses.
4:53
It's obviously the look.
4:55
Sometimes I want blackout sunglasses so no one can see my eyes.
4:56
It completes the outfit.
4:58
This is at the very end.
4:58
Once you're ready, you put your sunglasses on and you go into a whole different mode.
5:04
Be like, I'm ready.
5:04
And that's when you go.
5:05
This is just a staple.
5:05
I have a million pair of sunglasses.
5:07
I have a whole room where I have drawers of sunglasses.
5:10
When you find that favorite pair, I wear them out.
5:12
You will see me wear the same ones for months on end because once I find that one that hit me the right way, you're going to see me everywhere with them.
5:26
Here's my lip treatment right here.
5:26
My lip balm.
5:28
It's very important.
5:28
I don't do not want to have dry lips, especially playing basketball.
5:32
You know, you go over the sideline, but I go to Denver and that altitude is crazy.
5:34
I go to the sideline like, "Please give me my lip balm."
5:38
Lotion, hand lotion.
5:38
I can't sleep if my hands are dry.
5:40
Nail clippers, really important as well.
5:44
Toenail clippers as well, guys.
5:44
No one wants you getting in bed with sharp toenails.
5:47
Also too, for my fingernails.
5:49
I put polish on my nails as well, and sometimes it grows out, so I got to clip them.
5:54
Make sure they stay fresh when I'm on the road.
5:56
And last but not least, floss sticks.
5:57
I don't want to be that guy that's at the restaurant putting his whole fist in his mouth because I would do it.
6:04
And once I discovered these floss sticks and how easy they travel, I'm quick to make sure I hand them out to people.
6:04
You know, if I do something at my home, it's a bowl of floss sticks that goes around to everyone.
6:04
And I'm hitting them.
6:04
Yeah, buddy.
6:04
These essentials right here have become very important.
6:04
I think anytime that you can give yourself an opportunity to be 1% better, you want to do that.
6:04
Getting a chance to understand, you know, what supplements can do for you has been very, very important for me.
6:04
And so this has become a part of my my daily vitamins.
6:04
It's every morning, you know, once I get up when I'm at home and I work out, I make sure that I have my shakes and my daily greens are a part of that daily electrolytes.
6:44
Being an athlete, it's important to, you know, hydrate.
6:48
Throw it in my water bottle, shake it up, and kind of get some flavor, rehydrate, recover, replenish it.
6:53
It's very, very important.
6:53
I do a lot of working out.
6:55
Like I do a lot of yoga.
6:56
I do a lot of saunas.
6:56
And so I'm losing so much and I have to replace.
7:01
And so the electrolytes has become very, very important.
7:10
Picking up a camera will make you have to really focus.
7:12
The camera has become very important to do that.
7:14
You know, I can obviously take it on my phone, which is great, but I feel like this right here, it puts you in a different mode.
7:20
It makes you want to be adventurous.
7:22
Especially when I travel around the world, I make sure I pack my cameras with me.
7:25
A couple years ago, I did my first show at Arbazo in Miami called Viere with my partner Bob Matelis.
7:30
And we were both was traveling around the world.
7:34
I was shooting in black and white.
7:35
I was going to Asia.
7:35
I was going to Africa.
7:37
I have some great photos that I took of just people doing things, of mountains, of sunsets.
7:42
I got so many sunsets.
7:44
And so these become my eyes when you know when I want to look up and I want to see the beauty that that this world has to offer.
7:56
The AirPods very important essential.
7:59
It's important for conversations.
8:01
It's important for music.
8:01
When I'm on a plane I listen to a lot of music.
8:03
I have meditation apps on my phone.
8:05
I listen to a lot of meditations.
8:07
Whether I'm in the sauna, when I'm in a gym, I'm traveling.
8:11
You put your earphones in.
8:13
It's kind of like it's a block.
8:13
It's a barrier.
8:15
It kind of allows you to be in your own zone and not focus on the outer world and what's going on all the time.
8:21
Every now and again, my kids will send me a new artist or a new song, put my AirPods in and I listen to it.
8:25
But, you know, I'm someone who, you know, Jay-Z drop an album, I'm listening to it.
8:29
If Jeezy drop an album, I'm listening to it.
8:33
If Wayne drop an album, I'm listening to it.
8:34
But, I'm also listening to, you know, the music that my parents listen to.
8:38
I'm listening to the music of the '90s, of the early 2000s, my era.
8:44
These are things that just like fragrance that push me right back into certain moments in my life.
8:44
I think it's very important to continue to move forward, but I also think it's very important not to forget where you come from.
8:44
I'm Dwayne Wade.
8:44
Those are my essentials.
8:44
Those are the things I need to make me whole.
8:44
