Although Miami Heat baller Dwayne Wade is a forced to be reckoned with on the courts, it appears that his foray into fashion wasn't quite as well received. The star player recently shot a shoot for Esquire and definitely made a bold choice with his fashion-forward look, which really got the people talking-...not in a good way though. The baller proudly posted the shot of himself on his Instagram, which inadvertently subjected Wade to tons of ridicule after he appeared in Zoolander or MC Hammer-reminiscent ensemble. Thus causing Twitter to roast the athlete relentlessly.

Who did this? MC Dwade A video posted by Baller Alert (@balleralert) on Aug 11, 2015 at 6:26pm PDT

According to social media, Wade's look was a cross between the styles of the main characters in the comedy, portrayed by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. Or it was Wade's best interpretation of MC Hammer, or Vampire in Brooklyn as some fans called it. Either way, the baller donned what looked to be a black one-piece jumpsuit showing off ample chest, wearing only a gold medallion and blue satin blazer to accent the look.

Social media was none too forgiving when it came to Wade posting his newest cover for the men's publication. Fans immediately questioned if the baller was playing a practical joke or serious. Wade was serious indeeed, causing the social media stratosphere to erupt with tons of memes making Wade the butt of their jokes.

Wade's puzzling appearance definitely made fans scratch their heads regarding where his wife Gabrielle Union was when her husband definitely needed her to interject here.

Take a look at some of the funniest memes resulting from Wade's epic fashion fail.
