The Li-Ning Wade All City 12 series represents a major leap for the line, transitioning from a "takedown" model to a high-performance favorite that rivals flagship signatures. The series currently features two primary models: the standard 

All City 12 (ideal for outdoor versatility) and the 

All City 12 Encore (optimized for elite indoor grip)

Wade All City 12 (Standard)

Released in late 2023, this model is celebrated for its balanced "all-around" performance across different court surfaces. 

· Key Tech: Features a full-length Li-Ning BOOM midsole for bouncy energy return and a double-layer PROBAR LOC stabilizer for torsional support.

· Outdoor Durability: Equipped with a TUFF RB high-wear rubber outsole, making it one of the best options for outdoor concrete courts.

· Upper: Utilizes a triple-layered upper with a dense woven mesh at the toe for protection and breathable midfoot mesh.

· Best For: Guards and fast-paced players who need responsiveness and a low-to-the-ground court feel. 

Wade All City 12 Encore

The "Encore" version, released in mid-2024, is often described as a "mini Way of Wade 11" due to its premium tech upgrades. 

· Key Tech: Maintains the full-length BOOM midsole but introduces the GCU (Ground Control Unit) outsole—a specialized cast polyurethane that offers "S-Tier" sticky grip on indoor courts.

· Support: Features a more prominent hemispherical TPU heel counter for enhanced lateral stability and containment during explosive movements.

· Materials: Often incorporates synthetic leather and premium suedes depending on the colorway, offering better midfoot support than the standard mesh version.

· Best For: Heavier or more explosive players who prioritize maximalist indoor traction and lockdown.
