Li-Ning Wade 808 5 Ultra V2 "Jay Flow" ABAV045-5 - Basketball Shoe Unisex Blue Orange
Li-Ning Wade 808 5 Ultra V2 — Jay Flow Edition
Blue and orange. Bold and bouncy. The Wade 808 5 Ultra V2 "Jay Flow" is the late-2025 upgrade to one of Li-Ning's most distinctive drop-in cushioning platforms — now with a stiffer, more supportive shell that keeps your foot locked in through the most explosive plays of the game.
For smaller guards who live low to the ground and demand maximum spring on every step, the 808 5 Ultra V2 is built around you.
Cushioning: Full-Length Super Boom Drop-In Midsole
A full-length Super Boom drop-in midsole (~2.9 cm stack height) delivers a highly bouncy, responsive ride with significant impact protection. The drop-in system keeps you close to the court while still absorbing hard landings — the ideal balance for explosive, low-to-the-ground guards.
Upper: TPU Hotmelt Shell + Woven Jacquard Mesh
The V2 upgrades from textile to a stiffer TPU hotmelt shell with woven jacquard mesh, engineered for better foot containment and dynamic support during hard lateral cuts. More supportive and durable than the V1 — though the thicker materials and padded tongue trade some ventilation for that added structure.
Stability: Carbon Fiber Plate + Secondary Plastic Shank
A carbon fiber plate in the outsole works alongside a secondary plastic shank that wraps the shoe for enhanced torsional support and arch containment — keeping your foot stable and propulsive through every cut and drive.
Traction: GCU + TUFF RB Dual-Rubber System
GCU (Ground Control Unit) rubber delivers elite grip on clean indoor courts, while TUFF RB adds durability for outdoor use — a dual-rubber system that covers every surface you play on.
Fit & Sizing
- Sizing: Runs slightly long in the toe box — true to size for most players; narrow-footed players or those preferring a snug 1:1 fit should go down half a size
- Breathability note: The V2 upper runs warmer than V1 due to thicker materials and padded tongue
- Best for: Smaller, explosive guards who prioritize low-to-the-ground court feel with maximum springiness
