The Li-Ning Wade DLO 1 “Firework” combines a predominantly white basketball-shoe platform with a vivid multicolor graphic treatment. Red, blue, yellow, orange, and black accents run across the lateral side, while paint-splatter details extend into the midsole area to reinforce the “Firework” theme.
Its core construction includes a TPU-Yarn Upper, Full-Length BOOM cushioning, LIGHT FOAM ULTRA Heel Structure, PROBAR LOC Midfoot TPU, and TUFF OS Rubber Outsole.
TPU-Yarn Upper
The upper uses a TPU-yarn textile construction with visible ventilation openings through the tongue and central forefoot area.
The lacing system runs through multiple textile loops integrated into the upper, while layered materials around the toe create a clearly defined reinforced section. The predominantly white base also provides a strong contrast for the multicolor artwork extending across the lateral side.
This upper construction is designed to combine foot containment with ventilation while maintaining a relatively lightweight visual profile.
Full-Length BOOM Cushioning
The primary cushioning platform uses Full-Length BOOM, extending from the forefoot through the rearfoot.
BOOM forms the main cushioning layer beneath the foot and is designed to provide responsive rebound and sustained cushioning across the length of the platform.
In the exploded structure, the BOOM unit appears as a clearly separated layer between the upper assembly and the lower support components, making the cushioning architecture easy to distinguish.
LIGHT FOAM ULTRA Heel Structure
The rearfoot incorporates a LIGHT FOAM ULTRA Heel Structure.
This lightweight component is designed to provide additional rearfoot containment and support. Its raised geometry wraps around the heel area and forms one of the most recognizable structural elements of the DLO 1.
In the “Firework” colorway, the white heel structure contrasts with the darker and more colorful surrounding graphics, making the rearfoot construction especially visible.
PROBAR LOC Midfoot TPU
The midfoot uses a PROBAR LOC TPU support structure with a butterfly-like geometry.
Positioned through the central section of the platform, the component is designed to reinforce lateral stability and multidirectional control.
Its distinct shape also separates the structural support system from the BOOM cushioning layer, giving the underfoot construction a clearly layered layout.
TUFF OS Rubber Outsole
The outsole uses TUFF OS rubber, designed with an emphasis on traction and abrasion resistance across multiple court surfaces.
The outsole forms the primary ground-contact layer beneath the cushioning and support structure, completing the layered underfoot system of the DLO 1.
“Firework” Colorway
The “Firework” colorway uses a clean white base as the foundation for a much more expressive graphic treatment.
Multicolor artwork spreads across the lateral side in red, blue, yellow, orange, green, and black, while paint-splatter details appear around the midsole and support structures. Black-and-white patterned laces add another contrasting element to the upper.
The combination gives the shoe a highly recognizable visual identity while leaving the major structural areas—upper, cushioning platform, midfoot support, heel structure, and outsole—clearly distinguishable.
Overall
The Li-Ning Wade DLO 1 “Firework” combines a TPU-Yarn Upper, Full-Length BOOM cushioning, LIGHT FOAM ULTRA Heel Structure, PROBAR LOC Midfoot TPU, and TUFF OS Rubber Outsole within a clearly layered basketball-shoe construction.
Its technical layout separates cushioning, midfoot reinforcement, rearfoot support, and outsole traction into distinct components, while the “Firework” colorway adds a bold multicolor visual treatment to the otherwise predominantly white platform.
