While over where I am in the Western Hemisphere and all, the Li-Ning Way of Wade isn’t available to us right now save for the about 150 pairs that are in the US right now that aren’t owned by Dwyane Wade. It is about to hurt that much more for those anxiously waiting for their first look at a WADE Brand sneaker, on the Far East Coast specifically in China, there is already a Dwyane Wade Team sneaker.
Called the Li-Ning WADE All City, the sneaker is similar to the Way of Wade in ways like the high quality materials used on the upper and outsole thread pattern but different in the performance pieces like a cushioning unit. This team sneaker looks to have been made with outdoor play in mind which is necessary in China since a lot of their courts concrete or stone.
Shown here in three different colorways, the WADE All City is rumored to the first Team sneaker from the partnership of Li-Ning and Dwyane Wade’s new WADE Brand. The black/red and white/red make sense as they are Miami Heat uniform colors, but the white/blue/orange pair gives us a look at a Li-Ning WADE product not in a Heat colorway.
No word on a release date for these, but that isn’t surprising since the Li-Ning Way of Wade doesn’t even have an announced release date in the US as yet.
Li-Ning WADE All City – ‘Black/White/Red’
Li-Ning WADE All City – ‘White/Black/Red’
Li-Ning WADE All City – ‘White/Orange/Blue’
