With CARBON CORE DRIVE SYSTEM midsole, the performance of Way of Wade 11 series is enhanced significantly, with an increased average jump height by 3.8% in situ vertical jump height, 4.1% in approach vertical jump height, and 12% in continuous vertical jump speed compared with basketball shoes without this carbon core structure (data sourced from Li-Ning Science Experimental Center). Forming a “sandwich structure” with a carbon plate between two pieces of BOOM midsole, it balances the demands of flexibility, explosiveness, and speed.
