Li-Ning Thread

[wadecollector]

This is my first post but most likely not my last.

I am in the process of creating a web page specifically for Li-Ning Wade collectors. The page will contain a directory of all Wade models released to date, available release info, photos of each model, release numbers when available, a pricing guide etc.

I am working on this project for a few reasons

#1. Huge Wade fan

#2. Ever since I started collecting Wades Li-Ning shoes I have found it very hard to find good info besides on the chinese resale sites and forums like this. Most sneaker sites carry limited Li-ning news and do not even list it as a brand for there category searches. 

I am hoping my site and directory can make life easier on other Wade collectors out there and provide a go to resource for the community of collectors that exists. I am not sure how many of us Li-Ning WOW collectors are out there but I am willing to bet I am not the only one frustrated with the lack of info available online currently. I will need help from the community to keep the page accurate and updated as I am only 1 person and hopefully some of you guys can help me. 

To start off I am trying to document every model and colorway released based on what I have found through my own personal research. Below is what I have so far. If you see any models that I am missing please let me know as I would like the site to be as complete as possible when I launch. I am sure I have some things mis-categorized or have other errors in my list and I look forward to your input.  Thanks - WadeCollector

Snagged these for 185

Yo what???? Hell yeah that's a no brainer. How was the condition? Pics look good though.

Yea the ebay Gods aligned for me on this one. I just happen to be on and found it with like 7hrs remaining and it was at $117. Guy labeled it wrong and never said Way of Wade or anything like that. He just said WoW Wade. It had like 25 bids but were basically between 2 folks. I watched it jump up to 177 with about 5 minutes left so I just jumped in with a $225 bid in the last seconds and ended up winning with $185

and condition is great.

Busted a few pairs out this week...
 

Way of Wade 2.5 Encore 'Ruby Slippers'  Sample

Way of Wade 3 'Grey Boys'

Way of Wade 2.0 'Creamsicle' Sample

Yesterday at the Mario Chalmers event @ The Edition Boutique, If you live in miami or the surrounding area no excuse to why you aren't copping your wades from.

Those Ruby Red's are the truth...great pick up!

 

[primetimehype]

First post, Just started getting into the Li Ning movement around end of February.  

First pair I ever bought were they YOTS, From edition boutique. Luckily they had my size left. I paid about 250 for em, now they been boosted up to 300 (If they even have any left). 

Second pair I bought were the "TNS" off some dude on ebay who lived in Hawaii, DS got em for 185. Easily to me my favorite pair. 

And lastly, the veteran day 2's which I bought on sunlightstation.com (Which I highly recommend if you dont live in south Florida). Good thing about that site is, if you see a way of wade model you like and it says "sold out", all you have to do is email them and they will sometimes have a couple sizes available. Plus the extras they give you with your purchase are awesome.

 @personaltime  bringing the heat. Thanks again for sending out the TNS band

 

[personaltime]

no problem man I think I have more some where I just need to dig 

 

[soleseeker23]

Is $225 for the Warrior 1's a good price? Also, has anybody went up a full size in the WOW 2? They would just be for casual wear...

Yea Warrior 1s are a hard find and I stayed TTS for 2.0. At most I would only go up .5 for myself but I dont have wide feet either. 

 

[andersonjames]

Busy week or so for me pick up wise:

Birthday 2.0's

Jungle Camo 2.0's

Fountainbleu's

Red leopards

BlackGolds

GreyBoys

Managed to sell a few J's so was able to pick up a few extras. Will try to take some more pictures later in the week.

@personaltime  Yeah, those Ruby Slippers are fire.

Bro slow down homie...LOL

You trying to get every wade in the first month or what?? I mean if you got the doe then its no prob. 

 

[soleseeker23]

One more quick question... Whats the going rate for Shanghai 1 white/red colorway?

 

[Quincy McCall]

Seen the grey boys the other day, kinda fire

 

[andersonjames]

Yeah, I've got the money. And regardless, I've been selling some inventory to sorta keep things in balance.

Right now I'm just on the lookout for some of the harder to find 2.0 stuff, as well as a couple pairs of the standard 2.0/2.5 stuff that I hope maybe gets a flash sale on SS, and the 305 and Jungle 3.0's, which can wait.

Gotta love SS, I have a stack of free loot from them, and this last order I got a polo which I don't normally wear, but it's nice.

 

[andersonjames]

Oh, and I know a few folks on here picked up the Grey Boys, and there have been some great shots (thanks @Turnon) but in hand I was/am underwhelmed.

Don't get me wrong, for the price point they are very nice, but the 3.0's continue to fall short of the detail and design work of the 2.0's for me. Maybe it's just hard on the Grey Boys to get Birthdays and Jungle Camos in a few days later, but I just feel like the 3.0's keep falling a bit short.

YMMV.

For me, predominantly grey based shoes always leave something to be desired. Like they are covered in primer waiting to be finished. Doesn't make them bad, just not for me. But I agree...while I do like the 3.0's they seem to be a touch short of the 2.0's.

3.0s need to get back to that leather and some dope colorways and its game on

 

[personaltime]

the storm is coming just be patient 

 

[soleseeker23]

Exactly! They need to release something similar to the Warrior 2.0, that leather is awesome!

 

[andersonjames]

I've seen a lot of the "potential" stuff via Peak's IG, but minus the Toe Shred CW's and TNS, a lot of it I'm not interested in.

 

[personaltime]

I've seen a gang of things that have not been posted yet ;D

 

[andersonjames]

Cool. Will stay optimistic then.

Oh yeah - anyone have a good suggestion for substitute blue laces for Birthday 2.0's? Looking for flat, and as close to original color wise as possible. Thanks.

 

[jshortt]

808's, Wade Fission, and some performance gear up on the SS Members Only section.

Peace,
J
