The lightest in the Wade line, in black

The Way of Wade 12 marks a new era for the signature of Dwyane Wade, three-time NBA champion with the Miami Heat, and is considered by the brand to be the best in its history. The combination of double-layer SUPER BOOM and carbon plate ensures responsiveness, rebound, and cushioning, to start faster and land safely. It is also the shoe chosen by Stephen Curry, new Li-Ning athlete, as the base for his Player Edition Curry Brand.

The "City Guard" colorway

In every city, every player carries a different story. Origins, cultures, and different paths meet, but once on the court they are united by a single belief: fight for the team, represent their city, and chase victory together. "City Guard" is the black version of the Way of Wade 12, with a bold look and urban character, easy to match and perfect for those who want a performance shoe that does not go unnoticed.

Technology: performance in every movement

• Double-layer SUPER BOOM: lightness, rebound, and cushioning, to accumulate more power in starts and land safely.
• Carbon fiber plate: connected to the midsole, transmits force precisely and provides rigidity for changes of direction in every way.
• Two TPU inserts on the heel: flexible, increase stability and force transmission.
• TPEE toe: supports the forefoot and makes flexion easier during explosive starts.
• GCU sole: polyurethane, ensures durability and excellent grip on clean or more slippery parquet, indoor and outdoor.

Design inspired by Wade's statue

The design is inspired by the Dwyane Wade statue in Miami, which combines his sculpted physique with Renaissance art. Elements of his career are "sculpted" into the shoe, in a fusion between classic form and basketball spirit.
