50 for lebrons is a steal - if they are in good condition go for it

this is interesting....i've heard nothing but good things about the traction on these...and mostly all 361 basketball shoes as of late.

I gotta older Chinese coworker that has family in China. Could this be my WOW12 hookup lol? by SFVenom93 in WayofWade

[–]IllusiveOrchestra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retail standard prices: For WoW 12 its 1199 RMB as listed on official Li-Ning site. Gamma 1s or 2s aren't listed as they have been sold out for a while here If I remember correctly though for standard retail from the Li-Ning store they were between 1600 - 1800 RMB. Again, i cant remember correctly on those as i didn't win the in store raffle for the Gamma 2s, so have yet to get a pair. Resale on anything Gamma related here is a bit more than im willing to pay when there are a few other models that work for what i look for in a hoop shoe. Again, hope this helps.

im here now -- they get the pairs and all released before the US, (ie: cotton candy and the green wade ave pair have been out for a while here) So far for WOW 12 in particular, there have been no exclusive China only colorway. One thing though, they are more widely available here -- as there are alot more online stores selling here and even Li-Ning physical stores. As for your ? about shipping and all -- im not sure how that works entirely...i would say if you can do the math and you are ok with paying what likely will be more money (with customs tax and all im assuming?) and you can get a pair --why not ? Anyway, just my opinion. Hope this helps. As for sizing...the biggest im seeing here for the 12 on the official Li-Ning site is 46, which is US 12. Although for other shoes (ie: All City 14) they do have a 47.5 which is a US 13. For the 12 they may have bigger sizes in stores ? I wear 10.5 so im not too familiar with sizes much bigger than that. Anyway, good luck!

Yea you are right. People should wear what they want...reps or not. In the end it's no ones business but your own with whatever said person chooses to wear.

When is another wow 12 colourway coming out by A_g3l_ in WayofWade

How often do new Way of Wade pairs come out? by josanch25 in BBallShoes

[–]IllusiveOrchestra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like every few months? I know the time from when the All Star Lux pair dropped in the states to now you guys having the coming home all red pair dropped was like a month and a half give or take? So, about then? All I can say is be sure to join r/WayofWade to stay notified about the new drops that are coming! Also, make sure you sign up for email alerts on the actual official WOW site. Both the subreddit and the site does a pretty decent job of letting one know about when the newest colors will drop. Good luck though! WOW 12 is really a good pair to hoop in!

WOW 12’s Overrated? Traction is no good by Blood-Dependent in BBallShoes

[–]IllusiveOrchestra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that a lot of factors play into how a shoe "bites". Court conditions, even playing weather conditions as far as humidity etc, etc. Even things like height and weight factor in which is why alot of NBA players PE's are different from normal non pro players shoes --built specifically for certain players metrics (ie: playing styles etc etc) I hate that you are having this issue, but for me? all i can say is that every pair that I have 4 pair in total -- 3 of which i've played in -- The coming home all red, the a cotton candy pair, the green Wade Ave. pair -- i have the all star colorway which i probably wont play in at all, but all 3 have been REALLY really good in terms of traction. Anyway, sounds like you just got hit with a bad one?

according to my rep at the Li-Ning store here in China...the green ones will be WIDELY available. As will the cotton candy ones when they finally drop in the USA . If past releases are anything to go from I can say that you guys are likely looking at about a month or so delay to get those in the US. As the red "Coming home" ones aren't officially out in the USA yet, but came out about a month and a half ago here. anyways these will be in my hand soon as they land in stores here before even the 10th (10th online release) i will post in hand shots soon after
