Li-Ning Wade DLO 1 "The Mentor's Mark" ABPV009-61 - D'Angelo Russell Basketball Shoe Unisex Black Gold
Black and gold. Earned, not given. ABPV009-61
The Wade DLO 1 "The Mentor's Mark" is a sleek, premium colorway of D'Angelo Russell's first signature shoe with Li-Ning — released in May 2025 and built around the butterfly philosophy of transforming agility into power. This edition pays tribute to growth, mentorship, and the relentless pursuit of mastery on the court.
For agile guards who demand elite traction and a low-to-the-ground feel on any surface, the DLO 1 delivers without compromise.
Cushioning: Full-Length Li-Ning Boom + Light Foam Ultra
A full-length Li-Ning Boom midsole provides high-rebound responsiveness across every step, while Light Foam Ultra in the heel adds lightweight impact absorption and enhanced court feel — a dual-layer system tuned for guards who need to feel the floor beneath them.
Stability: Butterfly-Shaped PROBAR LOC
The signature butterfly-shaped PROBAR LOC stabilizer extends from the midfoot to the sidewall, delivering lateral support through sharp turns and preventing torsional twisting during aggressive play — the structural centerpiece of the DLO 1 platform.
Traction: TUFF RB High-Durability Rubber Outsole
A TUFF RB rubber outsole with a unique multidirectional pattern is engineered to be 2.5x more durable than standard rubber, providing elite grip on both dusty indoor courts and rough outdoor surfaces — built to last as long as your game demands.
Upper: Textile Mono Yarn Mesh + Synthetic Leather Overlays
A breathable textile mono yarn mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays delivers a secure, lightweight wrap that requires minimal break-in — ready to perform from the first session.
Fit & Sizing
- Standard feet: True to size for most players
- Wide feet: Go one full size up — the lateral TPU support runs snug and can cause midfoot pinching for wider foot shapes
- Best for: Agile guards who prioritize low-to-the-ground court feel and elite traction on any surface
