Dwayne Wade's move from the powerhouse Jordan Brand to the Chinese sportswear giant Li-Ning was unexpected regarding NBA legends and their sneaker endorsements. However, it has been a fruitful collaboration, resulting in the now-iconic Way of Wade line. Fast forward, and the Li-Ning Way of Wade collection has seen numerous iterations, cementing its place in the performance basketball sneaker market. As 2023 progresses, Li-Ning looks to elevate this legacy by introducing the Way of Wade 10 Caution. This follows up on first-looks at Way of Wade's lifestyle foam-based silhouette from earlier in the year.
The Way of Wade 10 Caution is all about capturing the essence of caution tape, a design element that aptly mirrors Dwayne Wade's dynamic and hard-to-ignore presence both on and off the court. The sneaker is dressed in a stark contrast of black and vibrant yellow. Its breathable mesh upper is complemented by protective TPU panels in yellow, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. But the storytelling doesn't end here. The sneaker carries historical notes like Wade's championship years and jersey number intricately placed on the lace dubrae. Not to be missed, Wade's unmistakable logos find their rightful places on the eyestays, heel, and underfoot. The design is finished with the renowned BOOM-cushioned midsole and a high-grip black and yellow outsole.
The Li-Ning Way of Wade 10 Caution will release October 3, 2023, through Way of Wade's website and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is pegged at $225. Keep it locked to our Twitter and the Sole Retriever mobile app to stay ahead of the curve in the sneaker and streetwear landscape.
