Advanced Technology Breakdown
✦ SUPER BOOM Drop-In Midsole
The first Way of Wade shoe to feature replaceable midsole technology. This innovative one-piece midsole system allows customized performance tuning while delivering incredibly lightweight responsiveness. The precision-engineered foam cell structure provides balanced softness and rebound, accumulating more power for faster starts and safer landings.
✦ Carbon-Fiber Support System
Lighter and stronger than traditional TPU, the carbon fiber plate enhances athletic performance by reducing energy loss during propulsion. It works in tandem with a full-length TPU chassis that acts as a 360-degree containment field, providing superior stability and support during high-intensity gameplay.
✦ Dual-Compound Traction
The outsole combines GCU rubber for unmatched grip on clean indoor courts with TUFF RB for durability during rigorous outdoor sessions. Multi-directional traction pattern with optimized flex grooves ensures reliable stops and cuts in all directions.
