Performance of the Li-Ning Wade All City 9:
The cushioning on the All City 9 is the most praised feature of the shoe. It provides both bounce and impact protection.
Reviewers also agree that the traction performs consistently on all surfaces. It only needed the occasional wipe.
The materials don't feel cheap, are thin, and help keep your foot secure.
For support, there were no reported weaknesses and solid containment and stability. The heel and ankle support, in particular, stood out for reviewers.
Overall, the Li-Ning Way of Wade All City 9 is a shoe that offers outstanding cushioning and is well suited for all playstyles.

Personally my favourite shoe. Needs break in time out of the box but once broken in it will stay in your rotation for a while. The traction works on any surface while the cushioning offers a low to the ground feeling with more than enough impact protection while still making you feel quick under foot. Everything except for the materials makes it a perfect shoe for any position looking for a do it all shoe.

Li-Ning stepped up and improved the cushioning in the All City 9. The impact protection is plush in the heel and bouncy in the forefoot area.
