Li-Ning Wade Shadow 6 Review

Pros:
Impressive traction grip and bite
Boom foam is bouncy and responsive
Cons:
Material quality could be better

Performance of the Li-Ning Wade Shadow 6:

The Way of Wade Shadow 6 is a surprisingly strong performer for the price range. Reviewers agree that the traction bites on clean and dusty courts. The outsole will also fare well on outdoor courts. The midsole is full-length Boom foam. The cushioning setup feels premium and is bouncy and responsive when combined with the shank. Material quality is slightly cheap, but the performance gets the job done. The upper is comfortable and breathable. Support and lockdown are also impressive. Reviewers report feeling secure throughout all their movements. Li-Ning's Way of Wade Shadow 6 offers excellent traction and cushioning at an affordable price.
