Li-Ning Wade DLo 1 Review
Pros:
Tacky traction performance
Boom cushioning is always nice
Cons:
Slightly narrow fit
A bit high off the ground for a low-cut shoe
Performance of the Li-Ning Wade DLo 1:
The Li-Ning Way of Wade Dlo 1 is well-suited for shifty and quick guards who can take advantage of the reliable traction and plush cushioning setup.
Traction performance is one of the shoe's highlights. It plays consistently well on clean courts and holds its own on dust.
The shoe features full-length Boom cushioning in the midsole. It feels plush, responsive, and comfortable.
The materials are better than expected. The upper is not premium, but it's comfortable and fits your foot well.
Reviewers reported no issues with the support and lockdown features. The lateral containment is also solid.
Some reviewers report the fit is slightly narrow, but the length feels good. There isn't much discomfort, though.
The Way of Wade Dlo 1 is one of the better intro signature shoes. It offers a lot of value for the price. The traction and cushioning shine in particular.
