Dwyane Wade and Li-Ning's Way of Wade Reveals New All City 11 Silhouette
Debuting in Way of Wade’s signature “Sunrise” colorway, the All City 11 combines design language both new and familiar with upgraded performance tech.
Dwyane Wade and Li-Ning’s partnership turned 10 this year, and what sets it apart from other NBA-star-teams-with-sneaker-company initiatives is that Wade, in Michael Jordan-esque fashion, has been given his own “brand-within-a-brand,” Way of Wade. The Way of Wade 10 — D-Wade’s 10th official signature sneaker — dropped earlier this year and now Li-Ning is following it up with the All City 11, a team-focused model whose past iterations have been worn by other Li-Ning athletes like D’Angelo Russell and CJ McCollum.
The All City 11 has debuted in Way of Wade’s signature “Sunrise” colorway, which combines a stark black upper with a gradient fade midsole that moves from orange to pink. Its style and shape similarities to the Way of Wade 10 are intentional, as Li-Ning used the WoW 10’s design language as a building block for the All City 11. However, it’s not a mere rehash as it boasts a glut of improved performance features. A softer, more comfortable knit material is used on the upper, while a new forefoot design aims to prevent rollover. Midsoles feature Li-Ning’s signature BOOM foam for cushioning and support, and also use a TPU wrap to increase stability.
You can expect the Li-Ning Way of Wade All City 11 to release via the Way of Wade webstore in January, with a yet-to-be-determined retail price.
Elsewhere in hoops-related news, a new documentary about what “really” happened to the Vancouver Grizzlies is set to release soon.
