Li-Ning Way of Wade 808 5 Ultra "Lavender"
The Li-Ning Way of Wade 808 5 Ultra "Lavender" is a low-top, high-performance basketball shoe that was officially released on May 23, 2025, with the style code ABAV015-12.
Key Features & Technology
The 808 5 Ultra series is lauded for its advanced performance features, particularly the responsive cushioning system.
· SUPER BOOM Midsole: The shoe features a full-length, drop-in SUPER BOOM midsole, utilizing supercritical fluid foaming technology. This makes the midsole 30-50% lighter than ordinary materials while providing a balanced soft and stiff rebound for enhanced performance.
· Stability & Support: An integrated full-length arched carbon-fiber plate provides robust support and enhances force transmission, which aids in preventing rollovers during high-intensity play.
· Traction & Durability: The outsole combines GCU (Ground Control Unit), a material known for excelling in both dry and wet conditions, with TUFF RB rubber, which Way of Wade states is 2.5 times more durable than ordinary rubber.
· Upper: The V2 version specifically features an upgraded upper with "Boom Silk" and engineered mesh for better lockdown, comfort, and breathability, while maintaining a lightweight feel.
