About Li-Ning

Li-Ning models

The range focuses heavily on the basketball line built around Dwyane Wade. The Li-Ning Wade and the broader Way of Wade series form the core, with numbered successors such as the Way of Wade 10 and the Way of Wade 11 advancing the technology each year.

What unites the line is its focus on cushioning and grip for indoor courts. Li-Ning uses its own foam technology in the midsole to provide responsiveness during take-off, with an upper that wraps securely around the foot. Alongside the numbered series, there are side models such as the All City Wade, aimed at a broader audience and everyday use.

The range is primarily aimed at men and spans from distinctive competition shoes to more accessible versions. As prices can vary considerably between shops and some colourways are scarce, you can see the lowest price for each model above, along with the number of shops that have it in stock.

Frequently asked questions about Li-Ning

What is Li-Ning known for?

Basketball shoes, particularly the Wade and Way of Wade lines associated with player Dwyane Wade. The brand focuses on indoor performance, with its own cushioning technology and a snug fit. It is less of a lifestyle brand and more of a sports brand.

What is the difference between Wade and Way of Wade?

The Wade name covers the broader signature line, while Way of Wade is the numbered flagship series that is updated annually. Way of Wade models are generally the most advanced game shoes; other Wade models are designed for more general use.

Do Li-Ning shoes run large or small?

Basketball models often run somewhat narrow and small, as they need to fit snugly for support. Those with wider feet therefore sometimes choose half a size larger. The sizing information for each version provides the definitive guidance.

Right now the Li-Ning Way of Wade 10 White Dragon (ABAS075-4) is the most sought-after Li-Ning, with a Hypescore of 20 GSv.
