This Christmas sale is the perfect moment to upgrade your rotation, grab that pair you’ve been eyeing, or secure unbeatable value on proven performance. From all-position workhorses and elite flagship models to budget-friendly options ideal for stocking up, we’ve narrowed it down to three Way of Wade series that truly stand out this season.
AC13 Encore: All-Position Value King
There’s no better time to grab the Wade All City 13 Encore series than this Christmas sale, when elite, all-position performance meets the best deal of the year. Built to handle every role on the court, this series is powered by the advanced POLYMER CORE DRIVE SYSTEM—a propulsion plate sandwiched between dual layers of BOOM midsole—delivering explosive bounce, responsive cushioning, and confident landings at a price point rarely seen for this level of tech. The SOLID SYSTEM on forefoot works with PROBAR LOC to create a locked-in, stable ride that supports sharp cuts and sudden direction changes, while the TUFF RB outsole ensures durable, multi-directional traction game after game. Whether you’re running the offense, attacking the rim, or defending multiple positions, the Wade All City 13 Encore adapts effortlessly to your playstyle. This Christmas, the series is split into two unbeatable tiers—now just $119 and $129, down from $149—making Wade All City 13 Encore "305" and Wade All City 13 Encore "South Beach" standout value picks for hoopers who want maximum performance without stretching too much on their budget.
Way of Wade 11: Elite Fit, Seasonal Comfort
For players searching for a premium shoe that truly delivers in colder months, the Way of Wade 11 series earns our recommendation for two clear reasons: its secure, comfortable fit for winter and spring play, and a rare price drop on our flagship model. Designed for elite-level performance, Way of Wade 11 is built around the award-winning CARBON CORE DRIVE SYSTEM, placing a carbon plate between dual BOOM midsoles to provide explosive bounce with smooth, controlled responsiveness—ideal for longer sessions when courts feel tougher in cooler weather. The supportive EVA structure and reinforced heel TPU enhance stability and containment, while the GCU outsole delivers reliable multidirectional grip on indoor courts. Together, these elements create a locked-in, cushioned ride that stays comfortable through extended wear. Now offered in two tiers at $169 and $189, down from the original $225, Way of Wade 11 "Draft Day" and Way of Wade 11 "Sunshine State" represent one of the best opportunities to experience Way of Wade’s most advanced mainline technology at a more accessible price—making this the perfect moment to upgrade your rotation with confidence.
