Wade 808 4 Ultra Series: Best Training Deal
If you're heading into the new term with big game plans, the Wade 808 4 Ultra series is the perfect way to start strong—especially now that it's down from $159 to just $99. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor play, this series is built around one standout feature: the drop-in full-length BOOM midsole, which boosts bounce, enhances cushioning, and helps players explode into action with quicker starts. Whether you're grinding through practice or chasing varsity minutes, these are shoes made for serious training. Wade 808 4 Ultra series comes in two versions to match your play style. The strap version includes a velcro midfoot strap for extra lockdown, ensuring stability even if your laces come loose—ideal for players who need maximum support on sharp cuts and aggressive moves. Its breathable knit upper, carbon-fiber plate, and reinforced outsole provide all-around control and safety. Prefer less bulk and more freedom? The laces-only version dials in heel lockdown with a large TPU counter, while OCTA-KNIT uppers offer breathability and support without the extra strap. It’s a lighter fit that still brings elite court performance. Both versions now sit at a student-friendly $99, making this the best time to grab a pair and get court-ready for fall.
Wade All City 13 Series: Built for Every Position
Versatile, balanced, and ready for all five positions, the Wade All City 13 series is a must-have for players heading into a new school year. Whether you’re posting up or breaking ankles on the perimeter, this team-focused shoe delivers a reliable mix of bounce, grip, and support—now starting at just $119 (originally $149). Its standout feature, the TPU Euro Plate, is designed to support Dwyane Wade’s signature Eurostep, delivering multidirectional stability and better force transfer for sharp changes of direction. All models come equipped with a full-length BOOM midsole for elite cushioning and responsiveness, plus a hybrid outsole combining forefoot rubber and rearfoot GCU for strong, slip-resistant traction. The fabric upper version prioritizes breathability, with a lighter build and airflow-focused design—ideal for players who want comfort during long practices or fast-paced games. The VAJRA SKIN version features a high-tech upper that boosts durability without sacrificing comfort, better suited for those who need more rugged support in tough matchups. With colorway-based tiers at $119, $129, and $139, there’s a fit for every budget and player type. If you need a dependable, well-rounded shoe to lead your team this season, Wade All City 13 series has you covered—whichever way you play.
Wade Ice Blood Series: Warm or Cool, You Choose
Fast, light, and ready for the new school year, the Wade Ice Blood series is built for explosive play with good traction, comfort, and court feel—and now it’s just $89 (originally $119). Designed with D’Angelo Russell’s signature “ICE IN MY VEINS” energy, this series delivers two distinct editions to match different fall conditions. The Wade Ice Blood 2 series features a breathable mesh upper, ideal for warmer seasons. Its single-piece midsole and insole, 75% BOOM and 25% CLOUD PLUS in thickness, delivers elite cushioning in a super lightweight build—great for quick cuts, fast breaks, and players who rely on speed. TPU frame and unique lacing system offer solid rigidity and lockdown. Prefer more coverage and support for cooler days? Go with the V2 edition, which upgrades the upper with synthetic leather and fabric for added durability and a snugger wrap—all without losing the lightweight, low-to-ground feel that defines the series. Both versions feature multi-pattern rubber outsoles for consistent grip and court control in every direction. At just $89, these are fall-ready essentials no matter where or how you play.
This fall isn’t just a return to class—it’s a chance to come back sharper, faster, and more focused than ever.
