Every season brings a new pace to the game. Faster transitions, sharper reads, and more physical battles mean players need footwear that responds instantly—without sacrificing control. The Wade All City line has always been built for hoopers who play multiple roles and thrive in real-game conditions. With the new Wade All City 14 series, Way of Wade takes a meaningful step forward, introducing the first-ever BOOM × SUPER BOOM dual-layer midsole system. This latest iteration focuses on explosive propulsion, dependable stability, and durable traction, all wrapped in a design inspired by Dwyane Wade’s philosophy on and off the court. Designed for players who rely on rhythm, adaptability, and confidence, the Wade All City 14 series is built to support every movement—from the first burst to the final stop.
Triple Propulsion: Start Faster and Land Safer
At the core of the Wade All City 14 series is its upgraded Triple Propulsion cushioning system, marking a new milestone for the All City lineup. For the first time, the series features a two-layer midsole combining full-length BOOM with SUPER BOOM, delivering higher responsiveness and more efficient energy return. This setup allows players to accumulate power during movement, translating force directly into quicker starts, smoother transitions, and more controlled landings. BOOM provides the familiar balance of bounce and impact absorption, while SUPER BOOM enhances responsiveness and rebound, giving the shoe a more energetic feel underfoot. Supporting this system is the LIGHT FOAM ULTRA structure at the heel, which improves heel stability and lockdown during high-impact moments. Whether pushing off in transition or landing after a contested finish, the cushioning works together to keep the ride responsive, protected, and consistent throughout the game.
Double Stability: Resist Torsion and Rollover
Modern basketball demands stability that doesn’t restrict movement—and the Wade All City 14 series delivers with its advanced double stability setup. Euro Plate is a TPU anti-torsional piece designed to provide strong lateral support and resist unwanted twisting during sharp cuts and defensive slides. Working alongside it is the PROBAR LOC stabilizer, positioned under the arch to enhance midfoot support and assist with force transmission in every direction. This combination creates a stable yet agile platform that helps prevent sprains and rollover while maintaining natural foot motion. The stability system supports players through explosive changes of direction, sudden stops, and aggressive drives, offering confidence without stiffness. For athletes who rely on balance and control as much as speed, this structure keeps every movement grounded and deliberate.
Reliable Traction: Holds Up Everywhere
Traction is a defining factor in real-game performance, and the Wade All City 14 series stays true to what the series is known for with its TUFF RB outsole. Designed for outstanding grip and long-lasting durability, TUFF RB performs consistently across a variety of court surfaces, making the shoe suitable for both indoor and outdoor play. The outsole provides strong bite during sudden stops, quick cuts, and explosive push-offs, helping players maintain control even in high-pressure moments. Its durability ensures traction holds up through repeated wear, whether during daily runs, training sessions, or competitive games. This “as-usual strong traction” approach reflects the All City line’s practical roots—reliable grip that supports fast-paced play without overcomplicating the feel underfoot.
Design with Meaning: WADEISMS and More
Beyond performance, the Wade All City 14 series carries a design language rooted in WADEISMS, the core textual identity of Wade Philosophy. Placed beside the Euro Plate, the wording “WADE-ISMs: Real Body + Unreal Spirit + Surreal Soul” summarizes Dwyane Wade’s basketball career and personal character. Real Body represents his physical gifts and on-court performance, as well as the shoe’s tangible presence. Unreal Spirit reflects his relentless competitive drive and refusal to give in after setbacks. Surreal Soul speaks to his influence beyond the game and his legendary moments that defined an era. The wave-like design on the Euro Plate echoes this surreal theme, translating Wade’s fluid playing style and sharp instincts into brainwave-inspired lines that symbolize quick thinking and rhythm changes. The typography of “Wade All City 14” on the vamp aligns with the Unreal Spirit concept, expressing dynamic energy and on-court intensity. Completing the design is a heart-shaped patch decorated with Dwyane Wade’s signature and the Way of Wade logo—an emotional symbol of passion for basketball and a visual extension of Wade Philosophy that strengthens the shoe’s cultural identity.
Basketball is ultimately about flow—how quickly you read the floor, how confidently you change pace, and how well your gear supports you through every moment of pressure. The Wade All City 14 series is built with that reality in mind. From its BOOM × SUPER BOOM cushioning that fuels explosive starts, to its anti-torsional stability that protects through sharp cuts, and traction that holds steady when the game speeds up, every detail is designed to keep you locked into your rhythm. Finished with design elements rooted in Wade Philosophy, the Wade All City 14s connect performance with purpose on and off the court. If you’re looking for a shoe that keeps up with how you actually play—fast, adaptable, and relentless—the Wade All City 14 series is ready to grab. First batch comes in four colorways: "Blossom", "Cowboy City", "College", and "Year of the Horse", and stay tuned for more.
