Category Performance Ratings
8.1
Traction
Herringbone pattern with a durable rubber compound. Excellent grip on clean courts but dust-sensitive and loses bite on dirty surfaces.
9.0
Cushion
Full-length Boom foam with a supportive shank. Low, bouncy, and responsive ride with good impact protection and smooth transitions.
8.2
Materials
Engineered mesh upper with synthetic overlays. Breathable, forgiving, and reasonably durable but lacks a premium finish.
9.0
Support
Molded heel counter and double shank plus midsole wrap. Provides strong lateral containment and stable lockdown for quick cuts.
8.3
Fit
True to size for most with a glove-like fit and secure heel lockdown. Toe box stretches over time so consider half size down.
70%
Outdoor
Durable rubber compound suggests decent outdoor use but reviewer reports vary by court so longevity depends on surface.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most users. Some prefer a half size down as the upper conforms to the foot.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular widths best. Some reviewers find it wide-foot friendly so wide-footers may need to try a half size up.

I have no problems recommending the Way of Wade All City 11 as a performance shoe, especially on clean courts. It plays and feels similar to a Kobe shoe. Just be careful on dusty courts.

Li-Ning's Way of Wade All City 11 is another strong performance shoe from the brand. The smooth transition with each step is the best part. The traction takes some breaking in, though.

This shoe is good if u need a pair for outdoors. Traction works really well but will need to wipe after a few plays on dusty courts, these will work really well on outdoor courts. The cushion is nice, you may need to break it in but after the full length boom will feel really nice. The materials feel really nice on feet. The shoes feel really nice on feet, you do need to half size up if wide footed to have a good time with these. But over all do recommend these shoes

The way of wade all city 11 is an amazing shoe that you should pick up. The traction is amazing and you won’t have trouble outdoors, because the rubber is hard and when I tried it out, there was no damage unlike some of the curry line. The cushion is amazing, and I absolutely love it. Highly reccomended shoe, and you should pick it up if it fits your price point. I went true to size and it was fantastic. Overall amazing shoe, great pickup for outdoor players.

Really good overall basketball shoes. With great traction and also cushioning after a hard landing. I can easily recomand them to anyone which is a point guard, but it also good for bigger guys. The fit is also amazing just maybe a little bit narrow on the forefoot but i would still recomand going true to size if you dont have wide feet.

Traction is very good on clean courts and has a very pronounced squeak. Cushion is the best quality of this shoe, its very bouncy and comfortable. If you're a wide footer I'd recommend going up half a size just as an insurance policy for a great fit.

Great shoes from Li-Ning and Dwayne Wade. It is a very consistent and great all-round shoe, no flaws. Traction is amazing, and the cushioning is amazing. They aren't amazing on dusty courts, but they are still extremely good.

On clean courts, you'll have no issues. Dust causes you to slide a lot with this traction, though.
