Way of Wade’s best shoe?! Wade All City 12 review

[@truthnotfeelings]

Bro I appreciate your review There’s a lot of great reviewers out there but honestly a lot of them are trash It’s really helpful to hear a perspective from someone who’s really good

[@ls_hoops]

Thanks bro!

[@lionelgrisbane-ud87]

Thank you for this review, my brother, I was waiting for this! In my opinion this is a great option and worth the price because of the durability - it will last longer than a lot of other shoes because of the durable outsole. Thanks again!!

[@blimps8652]

Great review. 💯 Watching from the Philippines! 🇵🇭

[@jotho1793]

I copped these when they first dropped mainly for their looks. Cushion and traction is nice but they are ankle rollers! Not enough of an outrigger and as theyre lows on all that cushion just feels unstable laterally. Another negative is the breathability! After every training session or game theyd be soaking inside. (I don't have unusually sweaty feet either lol) tweaked my ankle in them just running then months later had a nasty sprain in them as I say not stable.

[@ls_hoops]

Damn happy I didn’t experience the ankle rolls but I also play with ankle braces that’s probably why I didn’t notice it as much

[@teeblack06]

just ordered the Zen colorway earlier and the 808 Ultra 4's in the Score Champion colorway.

[@solepurpose4228]

Sadly from my experience with way of wade, I feel majority of these reviews and shoes are seeded to content creators. I ordered this same pair at time of drop. Waited 3 weeks for them to arrive. The moment I got to the gym and put them on, the lace eyelet at the bottom ripped off the shoe. Never got to use them. Contacted them to have them replaced or a refund and they said no, they would do $70 for a refund or a $80 coupon on the site. For $150 shoe that was never used because it failed out the box. I can only receive half of my money back or a coupon to buy from them again. It’s comical, will never ever support the brand or purchase again. Idc what they do with technology or who they recruit to promote it. Terrible business model and customer service.

[@jackhembree]

That’s unfortunate my personal experience with them has been very good

[@90gg]

I was lucky to be able to buy them (and other Li-nings) at the store. I would say around ~50% of pairs have some form of visual or functional defects (e.g. constantly misaligned insole, shoe permanently bent, poor glue job). I'm not surprised at what you're seeing.

[@jonathanpaghubasan1863]

so you are a pro player!! any video on your actual game?

I have never met anyone that has this problem that I know in my country 😅😅😅

They just hate you then because I heavily disagree

[@calebadamu]

massive deals on their website right now, just ordered a pair of the zen color for only $110, cant wait

[@ls_hoops]

Amazing bro! I believe it’s their back to school sale right? 🥳

[@GladwinAbrio]

Would love your thoughts on the way of wade or the Puma all pro nitro? Which would you pick

[@anthonywarry]

Thanks Lukas! Did you go the same size in these as your Dame 8? I'be got Dame 8s and am wondering the sizing compared. Thanks!

[@ls_hoops]

No I go half size down from my usual 14 for adidas as imo their shoes run a bit long

[@marklouismarte8796]

Great review!

[@manolocaisip668]

Better traction dna or the othe colorways? I notice that the dna has translucent outsole on the forefoot area.

[@grover_34]

Thanx for review! I was looking for outdoor shoes for myself, and I have a wide feet and short toes. I chose this model, but there's one thing that bothers me. All the reviews recommend going half a size up if you have wide feet. I don't want the forefoot to be tight or the toe box to be empty. However, you have wide feet and you wear true to size. What should I do with fit?))

[@justinebryleapacible6382]

This or son of flash for outdoor use?

[@gamerboii9651]

Ac12 or 808 3 ultra v2🤔

[@redbearbenton5722]

It’s very preferred, I didn’t know which to get either but I went with the 808 v2 low because of the drop in and double foot shank, plastic shank in the midsole and the carbon in the Bottom in the outsole, I don’t completely know abt the ac12 but it’s definitely better for outdoor use and slightly better for wider foot, also ac12 probably is less clunky in the heel due to the plastic outer cage thing in the 808

[@starscream2]

do you like the orange or dna colorway better?? I can't decide...lol

[@spencerkogut107]

Just copped these. Excited to try them. I love the orange. Would you rate these as better than the AE1?

[@ls_hoops]

Nice bro!! It’s hard to compare as they are very different. I like the design of the ae more but ax 12 is lighter and better for outdoor

[@spencerkogut107]

@@ls_hoops Awesome! Thank you!

[@perrybagayao7223]

Cushion wise, way better than ae 1

This AC12 summer version compared to WOW AC12 ENCORE ,which model is more comfortable for wide foot 2E ?

[@ls_hoops]

Definitely the regular AC 12

[@ainumnoi]

@@ls_hoops Thank you very much.

[@Fordiales]

how come your DNA colorway has some white accents? I bought a pair recently and mine is all silver. was there an update to the colorway

[@ls_hoops]

I think that’s just my light reflecting on the shoe

[@daniblitz1029]

Just to ask, what's the releasing order of the colorways? Like skyline colorway and the city of angels colorway, when did they dropped them?

[@RowansReviews210]

What’s better these or the shadow5 v2

[@psykouu]

all city 12

[@BlasiusKarachus]

Hi Lukas! Schönes Review! Hast Du Erfahrungen bzgl staubiger Hallen mit den AC 12? Ich bin echt hin und her gerissen, da ich bereits die AC 11 schon einmal hatte, damit aber in einer nicht extrem staubigen Halle wie auf Eis geschlittert bin. Habe mich zweimal lang gemacht und die Schuhe danach wieder verkauft.

[@ls_hoops]

Danke dir! Ich fand die 12er dafür etwas besser aber leider auch nicht perfekt. Sie nehmen schon auch sehr viel Staub auf.

[@CleverMonkey272]

Pro Direct needs some new colorways 😢 they are one of the only retailers selling li Ning across eu and uk but no good colour ways makes me annoyed 😂

[@KentarouML]

Ar 1 or this ac 12 pls help

[@ls_hoops]

I prefer AC 12

[@jadhrusli4444]

Is this better than way of wade 10?

[@ls_hoops]

No I still prefer the wow 10

[@yashA.456]

Yo Lukas my man, thanks so much for the video, always with the quality reviews on deck. didn't know under which video I should comment this but I got a quick question and maybe suggestion tho you've probably already heard of them. Are you planning on getting the DVD2 or Big3 Quick5 Pro? From what I've heard they're really good and I'm interested in the DVD2, imo similar looks to All City 11 regular version. Also AC12 better than the AC11 V2? currently struggling to decide between DVD2 "Smoothie King", AC11 V2 "Ice Blood" or AC12 "Sunday Home" lmao. SO MANY amazing shoes atm with great performance, my wallet is crying.

[@jjcornelio7741]

Can you compare these to wow 10?

[@davidparsons4314]

it's almost the same performance wise. I think the wow10 is slightly better performance wise BUT these don't feel as painful on the body during and after games. They really are an enjoyable pair, I'm gonna get more

[@rufinovictores6926]

Hi Lukas! Díd you experience some issues in the toebox of the AC12 in silver colour? Some say it turns unconfortable…thks!!!

[@QuartzzCODM]

I have a AC 12 In the silver colour, it's pretty comfortable and I have no issues with the toebox.

[@joemacch6284]

I find the 361 5.0 Big 3 quick pro slightly better. Don’t like the Encore version at all. They are top 3 or 4 in my rotation. Of course nothing in the category or wow 10

[@ls_hoops]

Interesting! Why don’t you lile the encores? I love the performance but the fit is way too narrow for me

Less padding, better court feel as the main differences

[@aryavvij9463]

hi Lukas, In general I have a wide foot and my size for most sneakers is us11. I tried the freak 5 and fit me us 11 and the two wxy v4 fit me 11.5 us. so what size shud I go for in the AC12 and will the us11 be ok because they do not offer us 11.5 in this shoe.

[@ls_hoops]

Hey! I think it the freak 5 fit you in a 11 then the AC12 will fit you as well in 11

[@aryavvij9463]

@@ls_hoops how's the width generally will it take time to break-in since I have a wide foot?

[@mharkjhoshuatorres947]

I saw your shorts with AC12, I think you scored the traction with 9/10 only

[@ls_hoops]

Yes that was the original CW I had. The newer ones that released in 2024 somehow have a more aggressive bite even though the outsole stayed the same according to the tech specks

[@william-uc2oy]

I love mine. Bought the orange myself. I went up 1/2 size (14.5). I’ve just shoot in mine to be honest as of now. So I’ve spent about 4 hours. It’s a bit different for me. I wear KB9 and KB6 normally. But thus far I’m very happy with them. Mine took about 10 days to receive which isn’t bad at all.

[@RavinManiac]

How's the fit? I usually wear size 11.5, but the size guide says not to rely on other brand's sizing and go with the measurements. My feet are 11.2 inches long, so it's size 11 according to their size guide. Now I don't know if I should go 11, 11.5, or 12 (since you mentioned you went half a size up)

[@william-uc2oy]

@@RavinManiac I think they’re TTS. That is true to size. Go with your normal size. You should be fine.

hey do you recommend ac11 v2 or ac12? I am a small explosive guard who prioritizes traction and i mainly play on dusty courts.

[@ls_hoops]

I think AC 12 is better for dusty courts

[@ap2752]

Hey I'm debating between ac12 and 808 3 ultra v2 low. I play basketball and volleyball and jump a lot. I've seen that the 808's have a clunky heel and I'm having doubts about the cushioning and impact protection, but on the AC12 it seems great. Would you recommend ac12's for that reason, or are there any other factors I should consider?

[@kuyacruzraps]

I play with 2 volleyball players too, they have the AC12 and are loving them for volleyball, claim it’s their best shoe ever for it lol
