Li-Ning Wade 808 5 Ultra V2 — The Guard's Weapon

Built for guards and wings who demand a low-to-the-ground feel without sacrificing explosive energy return. Released in late 2025, the V2 is an iterative upgrade of the original 808 5 Ultra — retaining the same elite cushioning platform while delivering enhanced upper support and containment for players who push the pace on every possession.

Full-Length Super BOOM Drop-In Midsole

A highly responsive, bouncy ride with strong impact protection. The drop-in design allows the foot to sit directly on the BOOM material, maximizing court feel and responsiveness. The swappable midsole lets players customize their cushioning setup for different court conditions.

Carbon Fiber Torsion Plate + Full-Length TPU Structure

A carbon fiber torsion plate paired with a full-length TPU structure facilitates efficient power transfer and lateral stability during quick cuts — keeping you grounded and explosive through every direction change.

GCU × TUFF RB Hybrid Outsole

• GCU (Ground Control Unit) in the forefoot — elite grip with 32% better slip resistance on dusty indoor courts.
• TUFF RB across the rest of the sole — 2.5x more wear-resistant than standard rubber, making the V2 a genuine outdoor option.

Upgraded V2 Fuse Upper

A multi-material "fuse" upper that delivers more robust, secure lockdown than the V1. Wide-foot friendly and generally true to size — narrow-foot players may prefer sizing down half a size for a snugger fit. A brief break-in period is recommended for optimal fit.
