Li-Ning Wade 808 3 Ultra V2 "Beige Yellow" Basketball Shoes
Released on March 17, 2024, the Li-Ning Wade 808 3 Ultra V2 "Beige Yellow" (ABAU047-2) is a premium low-top basketball shoe from the Way of Wade 808 series. Officially listed as "Beige Yellow" or "Beige White," its cream and beige tones with yellow accents have earned it fan nicknames like "Morning Sun" or "Easter" depending on the lighting and purple branding details. Originally retailing at $160, it delivers flagship-tier technology in a clean, understated colorway.
Core Performance Features
- Full-Length BOOM Drop-In Midsole: A removable, full-length BOOM foam midsole that places your foot closer to the court for exceptional court feel — highly responsive and bouncy with excellent impact protection and energy return for quicker starts and explosive transitions
- V2 Upgrade — Lockdown Wires + Carbon Fiber Plates: The V2 iteration adds lockdown wires on the toe box that connect directly to the laces for a more secure, customized fit, paired with carbon fiber plates for enhanced torsional stability and force transmission during aggressive cuts
- TUFF OS Rubber Outsole: Wear-resistant rubber outsole with multi-directional traction pattern — solid colorways are praised for "god-tier" grip on dusty courts; note that translucent outsole versions may feel slightly less grippy initially until broken in
- Breathable Screen Mesh + Synthetic Upper: A lightweight, breathable upper construction that requires minimal break-in time — comfortable from the first wear with a snug, performance-oriented fit

Ideal Player Profile
Built for explosive guards and versatile wings who demand immediate responsiveness, superior traction, and a low-profile silhouette. The BOOM drop-in midsole keeps you connected to the court while the V2 carbon plate and lockdown wire system ensures your foot stays locked in during the most aggressive directional changes.
Fit & Sizing — Important Note
The 808 III Ultra V2 is known for running slightly long. Narrow to normal feet should order true to size (TTS) for a snug performance fit. Wide footers may want to go up half a size, though this model is generally more accommodating than previous 808 models.
Morning Sun energy. Wade legacy. Court-ready from day one.
