Details

Description

Way of Wade 12 series marks a new era of professional basketball shoes with its two-layer SUPER BOOM midsole and a balanced carbon fiber plate, which offers maximum responsiveness and propulsion for indoor performance. It is the lightest iteration in Way of Wade series, and is widely considered the all-time best signature shoe line of Dwyane Wade.

Inspiration

SUPER BOOM advances BOOM Technology with a lighter design and improved appearance. Using cutting-edge manufacturing, the midsole's weight is reduced by 30-50%, with a density exceeding 0.07g/cm³. The microcell becomes more uniform, providing balanced soft and stiff rebound for enhanced performance in diverse sports scenarios.

GCU (Ground Control Unit) is a revolutionary cast polyurethane that transforms the outsole of shoes. By incorporating a unique molecular structure, this innovative material excels in both slip resistance and wear resistance, reconciling the traditional trade-off between these two critical properties. Not only does GCU exhibit exceptional wear resistance, but its wet slip resistance is particularly noteworthy, making it an ideal solution for various environmental conditions and sports scenarios. 

Made of lighter and stronger carbon fiber compared with traditional TPU materials, sporting shoes with CARBON-FIBER PLATE are better in rigidity, cushioning, and torsion-resistance. CARBON-FIBER PLATE provides more stability and support during exercise, as well as better transmission of paddling force, which leads to less waste of energy and better performance on court.
