FAQs

Should I size up in Way of Wade? ›

If you never wear WOW shoes earlier, please check our size chart and refer to your foot length to choose the right size. We suggest ordering half size up than usual.

The Way of Wade 10 is designed to provide a snug one-to-one fit in the midfoot area. However, the toe box area of the shoe is designed to accommodate users who prefer some breathing room for their toes. For those with wider feet or ankle braces, it's recommended to go up at least half a size.

Way of Wade, a collaboration between Dwyane Wade and Li-Ning, features shoes, clothing, and accessories. Way of Wade has transcended beyond the court since the release of Wade's signature basketball shoes Way of Wade, now in its ninth iteration, and with Way of Wade retail stores across China.

Dwyane Wade signed a lucrative 10-year endorsem*nt deal with China's Li-Ning in 2012, and his signature shoe joined him on his tour through Chicago, Cleveland, then back to Miami. On July 18, 2018, Wade announced that he had signed a lifetime deal with the company.

That's probably because Way of Wade 10 fits snugly in the midfoot area. I wouldn't say it's as snug as Nike's KD shoes though, like the KD 15. If you want a snug, one-to-one fit, going true to size works. Going up at least half a size is recommended if you wear ankle braces like I do or have wide feet.

Again, Way of Wade shoes in general are great for wide-footers because of their wider last. The Way of Wade 10 is lightweight and offers great cushion, provided by a dual-density foam setup: Cloud Foam and Pebax.

Way of Wade 808 3 Fit

As far as fit is concerned both shoes fit true to size and fit just like the previous iteration. The shoe does taper down towards your toes, which is good in terms of performance, but not for everyday use.

Fit – They fit me like a glove so I'd say they fit true to size, but wide footers may want to go up 1/2 size as I like my kicks snug. I was a little concerned about lockdown in the heel since there isn't an internal heel counter, but I ended up having no issues in them.

Dwyane Wade, a highly accomplished American professional basketball player, has accumulated a staggering net worth of $170 million through the years.

How Shaquille O'Neal's Decision To Walk Away From A $40M Deal Led To Affordable Shoes For Millions. Some years ago, superstar Shaquille O'Neal walked away from a $40 million shoe deal with Reebok.

Shaq reconnected with Reebok in 2012 to relaunch his signature shoe in retro fashion. Reebok said it aims to honor and incorporate the legacy of basketball legends beyond their playing days and that is reflected in bringing Shaq and Iverson on board in big roles.

Dwyane Wade left Nike's Jordan Brand back in 2012 to chart his own path in the shoe world through a partnership with Li-Ning. In making this decision, Wade had hoped that he would create a lasting legacy beyond his time on the court. This move set a new precedent in the NBA.

For sizing, think about the intended use of the shoe as well as the water temperatures you want to use them in. In general, go up about 1 full size if you want to be able to fit thick neoprene socks (4-5 mm), or multiple socks underneath a drysuit sock. In general, it's better to size up and be a bit too warm.

If you prefer a more relaxed, loose-fitting style, then sizing up may be the way to go. However, if you prefer a more fitted look, then sticking to your true size or even sizing down may be better.

That makes the heels which fit just right originally feeling too tight, causing discomfort and pain. For better comfort, a lot of female celebrities pick their heels half to one size up for public events so that there will be more space for the toes and the ball of the foot to avoid blistering.
