The Li-Ning Way of Wade 808 5 Ultra V2 (ABAV045-57) in Island Blue — also known as the Mint colorway — is a high-performance basketball shoe released for Fall 2025. This V2 update refines the beloved 808 5 Ultra with a more supportive upper while preserving the elite drop-in cushioning system that made the series a standout.
Key Performance Features
- Drop-In SUPER BOOM Midsole: A full-length, replaceable Super Boom foam drop-in midsole sits at the heart of the shoe. Incredibly bouncy and responsive, it delivers some of the best energy return and impact protection in its category — and can be swapped out when worn down.
- Upgraded Upper Construction: The V2 introduces a thicker, welded TPU exoskeleton over a woven jacquard mesh — a significant step up from the V1. The result is noticeably better lockdown and a more connected feel between foot and shoe.
- Carbon Fiber Stability: An integrated carbon fiber plate provides rigid torsional support and efficient energy transfer during explosive cuts, drives, and take-offs.
- Dual-Compound Outsole: Combines GCU (Ground Control Unit) for elite slip resistance with TUFF RB for enhanced wear resistance. Optimized for indoor courts with enough durability for occasional outdoor use.
Technical Specifications
- Colorway: Island Blue / Mint (ABAV045-57)
- Weight: Approximately 364g — lighter than many standard basketball shoes.
- Silhouette: Low-top design maximizes ankle mobility and delivers a low-to-the-ground court feel.
