DORAL (CBSMiami) -- The Edition Boutique had a couple of special guests for the grand opening of the company's second store when the Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem showed up Saturday afternoon.
The store is one of the only full-on sneaker boutiques in the city and is the official authorized retailer for Wade's signature shoes, Way of Wade, by Li-Ning.

"We're the only store in the United States that carries the Way of Wade product. So everyone comes to us for all of that," said the store's founder Michael LoBue.
Customers were greeted with food, music and sales up to 40 percent off. The first ten lucky customers to purchase the limited edition Way of Wade sneakers also received an autograph and picture from the Heat superstar.

But it wasn't easy.
"We had people camp out last night around 8:30 before we closed, because the first ten people were guaranteed a signature by Dwyane when he got here," added LoBue.
The new shop is located at 7450 N.W. 104th Avenue. They also have a Kendall location at 11776 S.W. 104th Street.
