What makes this colorway particularly special is its connection to D'Angelo Russell. The "Yin Yang" design has been a signature Player Edition (PE) look for Russell since the Wade 808 3 ULTRA. The inspiration comes from Russell's distinctive tattoo of a Tai Chi pattern on his body, symbolizing the balance and duality that he embodies both on and off the court. This personal touch adds a layer of storytelling to the shoe, reflecting Russell's personality and playing style.

The Li-Ning Wade 808 5 ULTRA "Yin Yang" colorway masterfully incorporates the Chinese philosophical concept of balance and harmony through its contrasting design. The upper features a mix of black and white hues, representing the two fundamental forces in the Yin Yang symbol. This duality extends to the materials used, with smooth leather and textured mesh combining for both performance and aesthetic appeal.
The midsole utilizes Li-Ning's proprietary cushioning technology for responsive support, while the outsole's tread pattern ensures excellent grip on the court. The Wade 808 5 ULTRA "Yin Yang" not only stands out visually but also delivers exceptional performance.
