Li Ning has quickly become the most reliable shoe brand when it comes to performance. I'm a size 15 so I'm dependent on brands being consistently good performers because I can't go to a store to try out the feel. Used to be a Nike guy but the WoW line has knocked them off the pedestal.
Not surprising since Li-Ning is a legitimate brand with an actual R&D department. Think of them like China's Nike or China's Asics, they've really come a long way.
They used to have a store in Portland very briefly when they were brand new, but couldn't keep up so shut things down. They definitely could if they tried in the US again.
Some of my favorite performance shoes of the last 2 years have come from Way of Wade or other Chinese brands. The performance sneaker game is getting extremely competitive and I’m here for it 🙌🏻
Got these for 149 SGD here in Singapore. Played in them 3 times on an outdoor basketball court. Believe me, these are legit! It does cater to quick / lighter players or players that are mostly light on their feet. The cushion is just right enough to provide a good court feel and impact protection from jumping. 👍 P.S. I had to go up half a size for the fit as well. The materials are not on the soft side but they will hug your foot properly for good support 👍
Im on my second lining and third chinese brand bball pair in 6 months. When they go on sale the value is soooo crazy good i couldnt help but order. They last pretty darn long too! My anta gh3’s now have 40 hours mixed drills and playtime and thenoutsole is still at 50% and the cushion is still bouncy and responsive❤️
agree with The Flash or Reverse flash colorways.. a nice tribute to Flash comics.. and another thing i also agree with your opinions on how many shoe manufacturer didnt prioritize outdoor basketball shoes. so, kudos to Li-Ning and Wade for this.. not everyone is always playing indoor basketball.
Have two pairs of Li Ning shoes. Way of Wade All City 10s and got gifted the Way of Wade 10 Low "Valentine's Day" for Valentine's Day and they are absolutely amazing. I play volleyball in them and they are so comfortable and the support is the best I've ever had. Love their colorways as well!
I think the classic flash colorway will drop later on to rebuild hype for a second wave. Or maybe in the next 2.0 drop. Plus when I think of "The Flash" I only think of Grant, Ezra doesn't even come to mind.
Got a pair on the way from famuji, with a wear testers discount (thanks Chris!) about 115 US with delivery to UK! Will let you guys know how they perform on my crusty outdoor public court!
I may get these next. I gave up on Nike, UA and Addidas. All I play on is outdoor and their shoes soles last me maybe 2 months. The Chinese brands soles are way more durable are made of better materials for less money.
Mine came in today! Feel nice on foot, I have skinny feet and followed linings sizing recommendation to go up half a size, but still could have gone tts. Half size up still feels good though
Hi Chris, thank you so much for the informative and educational performance review. So much appreciated 👍 Also, hope you can review the Li-ning wade 808 V2 with Bruce Lee color way. I think it's excited & great for the viewer's.
Google translate is awesome! You can point your camera right at stuff and it'll translate it immediately. I went to europe and would point it at food menus haha
Did you end up buying them? If so did you go TTS or up a .5 size. I'm usually 10.5 and I've 6'3 240 pounds wondering to cop these in black as well and maybe if I really like the white ones as well
Support aus Österreich 🤙! Leider haben wir keine Möglichkeit die sneaker hier zu testen - bin da zu sehr 90iger - wenn ich einen Schuh nicht anfassen & probieren kann - kaufe ich nicht 🤦♂️✌️. Der Duft von damals- nur noch bei reebok 🤷♂️✌️! Macht so weiter 👍🙌
Already got these and the Shadow 4s ordered, but went through Famuji Sneakers instead. Li Ning has always been pretty nice in my opinion, but needed to catch up/get ahead on the cushioning department, which they since have done.
I've seen posts where some pairs (specifically the black one) already had some sole seps and upper tears after just a few games. Anybody else who had the same issue?
Why would they want to make outdoor shoes that are more durable? If you don’t make any at all, customers will use indoor shoes for playing outdoors and cause faster wear and tear. Thus, you buying another shoe. Thank you LiNing for giving customers what they WANT!

Fully agree about the outdoor category. I remember the 90s and the outdoor culture was deep.
Aesthetically one of the best ball shoes I have seen recently, imo looks so good
look like nike
unity
They looked even better on his feet too
Li Ning is killing it the past few years 🔥
Li Ning has always been killing it. I wish we got a store stateside for them to expand, or at least in the western hemisphere lol
They used to have a store in Portland very briefly when they were brand new, but couldn't keep up so shut things down. They definitely could if they tried in the US again.
Idk how they feel but they look like Nike's cosmic Unity sneakers.
agreed But cleaner
That's China's secret to success
Now I realize it's cosmic that I felt like it looks so familiar at the time.
Personally think they look better than the Unity but I get what you're saying.
Son of Flash is better than Cosmic Unity

May i know where u get the shoes at Singapore specifically?

These actually look sick. Love the flash symbol. Feels very 90s-00s.
WOW/Li Ning is the best and most consistently good brand for ballers over the last two years, and it's not really even close. Great review as always!
Definitely gonna try this one…..it looks good love the color way…hope it feels great on these tuff outdoor courts 🏀🏀

I dont mind even when its not nike or jordan or wtv. U help me find the GH1 few years back and it is one of my favs

I saw these at USD 60 on sale, and I couldn’t help but capped it, looks like a steal of the quality
Way of wade shoes are underrated.
Awesome review as always. 🔥🔥🔥
funny how i was just looking at this sneaker LAST NIGHT lol another great video
got a white pair of these, gosh, visually stunning
yo! I’m 8.5 in size, do I need to add .5 ? how’s your fit?

How's the fit bro?
@@arcijeirojas I take a US 9(UK 8) and these run a touch long, you could go down a half size for a snug fit length wise.
Can you do a video of basketball balls please? Which ones do the staff uses, what’s good for concrete outdoors etc? Appreciate your works, cheers.
Found this online for $86, Can't wait to rock it on the court...
how?
nahhh cause that lightning bolt on the shoe looks fye 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I may get these next. I gave up on Nike, UA and Addidas. All I play on is outdoor and their shoes soles last me maybe 2 months. The Chinese brands soles are way more durable are made of better materials for less money.
Can’t wait for mine to get here, bout to be outside all summer.
Almost thought it was the cosmic unity !!!
Adidas Harden step back 3 has been great outdoors and picked them up at outlet for 45 bones
I always wondered about using tennis shoes for outdoor, makes sense to me. My puma court rider 2 seems similar sole style? Tennis-ish? 😆
These look amazing! Really want to try these out outdoors
I mostly play outdoors so I’m considering buying this. But if there is a Nike/Jordan model you would use for outdoors, what would you recommend?
I wish there was a bit more ventilation but might still give them a shot
Would love to try these! From a performance lens they sound great.
Had the Nike Air Raids way back. Great, tough tread outdoor. Horrendous indoor. I would cop this for outdoor use.
Mine came in today! Feel nice on foot, I have skinny feet and followed linings sizing recommendation to go up half a size, but still could have gone tts. Half size up still feels good though
do you have medium feet bro? planning to get these in TTS. thoughts?
@@rocky8392 up .5
@@cryptoopinion13 im wear nike 10us(280cm) and how about this shoes😢😢

Looks-wise they remind me of the Cosmic Unity
This shoe is amazing! I feel so fast in them
Don’t have a 11.5 crazy
the tooling reminds me of the jordan why not's🙂
Google translate is awesome! You can point your camera right at stuff and it'll translate it immediately. I went to europe and would point it at food menus haha
LI -NING shoes are GREAT!, quality sneakers. They’re basically the Nikes of Asia.
I’m getting these in black gonna look like zoom
Did you end up buying them? If so did you go TTS or up a .5 size. I'm usually 10.5 and I've 6'3 240 pounds wondering to cop these in black as well and maybe if I really like the white ones as well
Please review the new Way of Wade Flash "Raz Fuego" :)
Wish I had em in solid black
Lightning bolt is sick

FACTS Li Ning needs to start sponsoring college teams. by by ankle rolls
If they do a flash color way, they are gonna have to take my money
got this 45 usd in asia, clearly a steal
These look pretty sick, but also kinda look like BAPE knockoffs of the Cosmic Unity 2's as well.
I mostly see design takes from the GT Run...
Look and performance WoW goat❤
This give me the nike air cosmic ulitiy mixed with gt run vibes a Lil bit
I know there’s an xmas colorway I’d the wow10’s but they aren’t for sale anywhere
Already got these and the Shadow 4s ordered, but went through Famuji Sneakers instead. Li Ning has always been pretty nice in my opinion, but needed to catch up/get ahead on the cushioning department, which they since have done.
do you add .5 in size ?
From ZOOM to BOOM
My Dream Shoe Until Now👟😔
I've seen posts where some pairs (specifically the black one) already had some sole seps and upper tears after just a few games. Anybody else who had the same issue?
If only these were remotely available in my country
Nice t-shirt bro.👍
Ngl shoes look pretty dope
Is this better than Wade shadow 4?
It sucks living in Brazil, we can get our hands in none of Li Ning shoes since they don't ship here
Are you able to review the Knu skool vans ?
The thumbnail makes me think those sneaks are stanky lol I thought vid was gonna be about that 😅
Your shirt bro 🔥
Would the Son of Flash be the best WOW shoe if I switched the insoles to Move Game Day Pro insoles? If not, how close would it be to the wow 10’s?
When you doing the adidas original Tyshawn review?
Will it be good for outside?
What other sneaker cushion would you compare this to??
Please advise. If you take the same size sneakers, which will be longer wow10 or son of flash?
Thx
i wanna go up half a size but they go from size 11 to size 12 and i need a size 11.5
Since they don’t have 11.5 would they be unplayable if I couldn’t go up a half size
You can get them for 70 Dollars in China
My SOF just came in and it doesn't squeak, what does it mean? but there's a glue/sticky feeling when I'm walking
Red & white , red and gold or yellow & white . I would team with dc on it they suck director snubs but they are smarter with merchandise.
Nice shirt! Where can I buy one?
Small typo in the thumbnail. 😅😊
Clean
How much do these weigh? .. I can’t find the info online. Thanks!
Do these fit similar to the 808 ultra??
These go so fucking hard
Did u go tts or went up? Is this like kd8 snug?
kid flash color way could work
Is that a low cut or more of a mid cut shoe?
Guys can someone answer my question I want to know if I need to add .5 size because my fit size is 8.5
Are these good for flat feets ?
Feeling like kyrie 5
Famujisneaker has these for even less
Same looks as Nike Cosmic Unity 2
Are these bouncy
Anyone know a discount code for them
Li-Ning is hard to get here
Where are you located? because I went to go buy them and it says that shipping isn’t available for my address and I’m on the east coast 🧐
That’s weird. We’re in CA.

🔥
Where can one get Li-Ning in the US?
way of wade
RMB 799 with huge discount 😂
Don’t worry Chris, there’s still hope for Grant Gustin to save the Flash.
