For Dwyane Wade's birthday, Li-Ning reconstructed his latest signature shoe, the Way of Wade 5.

Celebrating Wade turning 35, the "Birthday" colorway is the first retail pair to feature a woven upper, which features a mix of grey and metallic gold with traditional black and white accents. A Roman numeral "V" print also makes its debut on the model.

In terms of tech, this special make-up receives increased lockdown from the tightly woven upper, additional support from reinforced straps and counters, an updated comfort-focused bootie, black carbon fiber midfoot shank, dual-duometer TPU and semi-translucent rubber sole.

Priced at $160, the "Birthday" Way of Wade 5 will release next Saturday, Jan. 21 at wayofwade.com and The Edition Boutique.
