Matt Varga Cade Cunningham, Victor Wembanyma… Steph Curry? Yes, despite being an elder statesman compared to the rising Pistons and Spurs superstars, #30 is on the shortlist of most anticipated signature athlete debuts. His now legendary sneaker free agency culminated with him putting pen to paper with Li-Ning, and the focus immediately shifted from a question of who to a question of when; when will the Chinese giant capitalize on having The Babyface Assassin on their roster? Though we’ve seen some PEs on the golf course and we’re still awaiting his first earnest design, some product is actually coming your way, as the partners unveil the Steph Curry x Li-Ning Way of Wade 12 “Curry Moment” pack.
Though current and former teammates Jimmy Butler and D’Angelo Russell keep up their own signature lines under Li-Ning, instead Steph earns his first two public releases with Dwyane Wade. It only makes sense to pair their current biggest star and their most storied series, arguably one that helped them become the global force they currently are. The GSW star reaches for flooded Statue of “Liberty” teal and an inverted “Obsidian,” blacking out the WoW 12’s frame and pinning that aquamarine on its rear.
Indeed, that section should be a focus for those who have been counting down for some Li-Ning Curry product; the heel and tongue both house the Curry Brand stamp. Otherwise, either one of these pairs holds onto the performance aspects you’d see on general release editions, from SUPER BOOM foam underfoot to carbon fiber plate propulsion to the lightest overall package to date in the WoW series.
The Steph Curry x Li-Ning Way of Wade “Curry Moment” pack releases via WayOfWade.com on September 19th at 10 AM PDT. Only 200 pairs of either will be available, retailing for $200 a piece. Keep the landing page handy (HERE) if you’re aiming to pick either colorway in this highly-limited affair.
