The sneaker merges STAPLE’s iconic pigeon motif with the retro basketball DNA of the Way of Wade 1 Low. The upper combines layered gray suede, tumbled leather, and dusty pink accents, while laser-etched "WADE" and embroidered pigeon logos highlight the collab identity.

Li-Ning and New York streetwear brand STAPLE dropped the highly anticipated Way of Wade 1 Low collaboration in February 2025, marking the first retro release of the iconic basketball silhouette in 11 years. The design blends retro aesthetics with STAPLE’s signature “pigeon” motifs: the shoe features layered gray suede and leather uppers accented with dusty pink, while subtle collab details include pigeon footprint ventilation holes, heel embroidery of the STAPLE pigeon logo, and a quirky 3D pigeon poop charm on the right toe. Performance upgrades like Li-Ning’s upgraded Boom cushioning, repositioned carbon fiber plates, and a hybrid rubber/translucent outsole enhance comfort and durability compared to the 2014 original. Dubbed a nostalgic yet bold streetwear staple, the collab sparked buzz for its playful mix of basketball heritage and urban flair. Fans praised its versatility for both court-inspired outfits and casual wear, cementing it as a must-have for sneakerheads and Wade enthusiasts.
