Your Best Look Yet at the Li-Ning Way of Wade 5

Your best look yet at the upcoming Way of Wade 5 from Li-Ning is upon us.

This colorway is supposed to release during the Wade China Tour so expect it to be limited with more colorways following soon. Mesh and synthetics comprise the upper along with the carbon fiber shank and glow-in-the-dark outsole. As we stated previously, tech specs in terms of cushion have yet to be made official, but we assume we’ll receive the BounSe and CushioN setup we’ve seen in every Wade model with the Li-Ning brand.

Enjoy the best look you’ll get at the upcoming Li-Ning Way of Wade 5 (other than having them in-hand) and stay tuned for an upcoming performance review once the shoe is readily available.

  1. that bird’s eye view of the toe box looks eerily like the Kobe X toe box (mesh colorways).

    *Yawn*, but I really preferred the previous WoWs

  2. one of the worst CWs I’ve ever seen. Li Ning prices are stupid so dont know who they trying to fool. materials are nothing special either. look cheap. this is probably the shoe that signifies the end of the line. every sig line has that shoe that you were like wtf is that? and most of the time they never get back on track

  3. Don’t worry. Sunlightstations will hook you up. Hopefully with a MUCH better colorway than this. Like I said before…. this shoe looks TERRIBLE! And this comes from someone with about 10 Li Ning Wades. Unless other colorways look MUCH better and the shoe is under $120 I’m not interested. Huge step back for the line. Disappointed.

  4. I like these. From what I can tell by the photos, they seem like they’ll be pretty comfortable on court. Interested to see what the mesh toe box is backed with. If the upper is flexible I think I’ll really like playing in these. Also, that milky opaque glow-in-the-dark outsole looks awesome. Really like the contrast of yellow and white.

  5. I think these look dope. I dislike the colorway, but I like the look. Put these in a clean colorway and it would be something that I would wear off court. Hopefully it’s a good performer.

  6. People always thinking to rock these off court when these things have been designed to perform ON court. The WoW 4 was a really good shoe visually and had an okay on court performance. Hopefully, Li Ning realized that in order to justify the price point they are trying to sell these, they need to step up in the performance part. Looks alone would never be enough to let a regular hooper buy away from the big 2 and UA.

  7. When the other colorways drop every one will change their minds. I think they look like a 4.5 more than a new model. I’m personally still waiting on the price to drop so that can get the 4s.

  8. I actually like yellow shoes, so the colorway is cool to me. Design looks ok. That traction pattern has me concerned. Lots of flat surface going on there.
