Li-Ning Way of Wade 11 Mid-Top Basketball Shoes - Cushioning Anti-Slip Black
Product Overview
Experience the pinnacle of basketball performance with the Li-Ning Way of Wade 11 (WOW 11) Mid-Top Basketball Shoes in sleek black. Engineered in collaboration with Dwyane Wade, these professional-grade sneakers fuse cutting-edge technology with iconic design. SKU ABAU049-2 represents the latest evolution in the WOW series, delivering explosive energy return, superior traction, and uncompromising support for serious ballers.
Revolutionary Carbon Core Drive System
At the heart of the WOW 11 lies Li-Ning's Carbon Core Drive System - a breakthrough "sandwich structure" featuring a carbon plate embedded between two layers of full-length BOOM midsole foam. Lab-tested performance gains include:
- 3.8% increase in standing vertical jump height
- 4.1% boost in approach vertical jump height
- 12% faster continuous vertical jump rate
This innovative system balances flexibility, explosiveness, and speed while providing exceptional impact protection and a bouncy, responsive ride.
GCU Ground Control Unit Outsole
The advanced GCU (Ground Control Unit) outsole delivers unmatched durability and grip:
- Wear resistance 4-5 times greater than traditional translucent rubber
- 32% improved slip resistance on dusty indoor courts
- Multi-directional traction pattern for instant stops and quick cuts
- Optimized for indoor play - exceptional grip on clean courts with minimal wiping needed
Premium Materials & Construction
- Upper: TPU + textile composite provides lightweight comfort with a premium feel
- Heel Support: Contoured TPU shell with Wade's career-inspired design elements offers locked-down stability
- Midsole: EVA frame infused with proprietary cushioning technology
- Fit: True-to-size for most foot shapes; wide-footers may consider half size up
Performance-Driven Design
The mid-top silhouette delivers crucial ankle protection without restricting mobility. The classic black colorway features striking gold branding accents, making a bold statement on and off the court. Breathable mesh zones keep feet comfortable during intense gameplay, while the substantial heel counter eliminates slippage.

- Traction: "Insane grip that stops on a dime" on clean courts
- Cushion: "Outstanding BOOM foam - bouncy yet stable"
- Support: "One of the most secure shoes ever tested"
