Li-Ning WOW 12 Way of Wade 12 LUX "Sculpture" - Basketball Shoes Mens Standard White

The Li-Ning Way of Wade 12 LUX "Sculpture" is a premium version of Dwyane Wade's twelfth signature basketball shoe, designed to commemorate his legacy and the bronze statue erected in his honor in Miami. This colorway is distinguished by its all-white, pearlescent finish and artistic details inspired by Renaissance sculpture. 

Design and Aesthetics

The "Sculpture" colorway sets itself apart with premium materials and unique design elements that lean into a high-fashion aesthetic. 

Colorway: The primary color is a standard, yet pearlescent, white designed to mimic the appearance of a marble sculpture.

Artistic Details: The shoe incorporates design elements inspired by Renaissance art, including a Renaissance-style heel logo and Dwyane Wade's signature with a Hall of Fame insignia. The midsole features a subtle, marble-like gradient pattern. The tongue logo is also crafted in a Renaissance sculpture style.

Material: The upper is made with a special process to create a tactile and visually stunning marble texture.

Wade's Story: The outsoles feature sculpted typography with elements from Dwyane Wade's career, embedding his legacy into the shoe's design. 

Performance Features

While the "Sculpture" colorway is a LUX edition with a premium lifestyle appearance, it retains the high-performance technology of the core WOW 12 line, considered the lightest Way of Wade model to date. 

Cushioning: A dual-layer SUPER BOOM midsole provides exceptional responsiveness and impact protection.

Stability and Propulsion: It features a balanced carbon fiber plate that enhances propulsion and anti-torsion stability, making it suitable for all positions on the court.

Fit and Comfort: The shoe utilizes a time-tested last (No. 1933) for an accommodating fit and comfortable "wrap-up feel". Reviewers have praised the secure stability and comfort, often noting a very short break-in period.
