Li-Ning Way of Wade 7 Review
Pros:
Premium materials
Comfortable cushioning
Cons:
Very slippery on dusty courts
Performance of the Li-Ning Way of Wade 7:
The Way of Wade 7 gets mixed reviews. In general, reviewers weren't happy about how the traction performed. Especially on dusty courts, there was a lot of slipping and the outsole is not easy to wipe.
The cushioning is a little less soft than in the Way of Wade 6, but it's still very comfortable and plush.
The highlights of the WOW 7 are definitely the premium materials and the great build quality - these shoes will last a long time!
Overall, at $165 there are better performers out there, but if you play on clean courts and you're a fan of Dwyane Wade, give these a chance!

On a clean court, the traction is really good. But this shoe attracts a lot of dust and is rather difficult to wipe.

The traction was solid; they do pick up dust on dirtier courts but as long as you keep up on your wipes, you will be fine.

Impact protection in the heel is really nice and the forefoot feels a little like Boost with a very nice compression. This is one of my favorite cushion setups.

The textile mesh upper wrapped my feet nicely but the synthetic shroud in the forefoot did very little for me.
