Li-Ning Way of Wade - All-Star

words // Brandon Richard

It was a huge weekend for Dwyane Wade, who in addition to starting for the Eastern Conference in the 2013 NBA All-Star Game, teamed up with Li-Ning for the official WADE Brand launch party in Houston. As part of the event, Li-Ning and Wade also opened a pop-up retail space, allowing stateside customers to be among the first to get their hands on limited edition Way of Wade colorways.

One of the colorways made available was the style Wade wore in the All-Star Game. Dubbed "Sting Wades," the bright purple kicks feature printed stingray details, textured overlays on the toebox and heel, a uniquely printed midsole and graphic-revealing translucent rubber outsole.

As of now, Li-Ning says "Sting Wades" are limited to the All-Star launch and will not be re-released. We'll update you here at Sole Collector if that changes.

Enjoy a detailed look below.

What stinks is that once again, Li Ning has a dope colorway of the way of wade and ONCE again, they won't be released to the general public. They dropped these @ All-Star weekend which is a bonus for those that were in Houston, but sucks for those that weren't there. The prices on ebay are insane

It seems as though that they are going for the sneaker boutique exclusive crowd and are forgetting about the sneaker guys that actually cop shoes. I don't know what Li Ning's marketing strategy is, but so far I'm not liking it at all. I'm not saying that they should release EVERY color way, but at least drop some of the dope colorways that we are seeing and liking from Li Ning.
"And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain just smile back"
