Introducing D’Angelo Russell’s latest kicks with Way of Wade—the Ice Blood 2 . In collaboration with acclaimed visual artist Adam Lister, known for his pixelated style. This sleek and fast-looking basketball shoe resembles a lighter version of the Wade 808 4 Ultra, without the straps and drop-in insoles.
The upper features breathable, flexible fabrics reinforced with welded TPU strips. Micro seatbelts from the eyelets to the soles wrap around the midfoot for containment, while an external TPU heel counter locks in the foot, preventing slippage. Cushioning comes from a mix of 75% BOOM foam midsoles and Li-Ning Cloud Foam for responsiveness and shock absorption. Sandwiched within, is a carbon fiber plate enhancing springiness and quick takeoffs.
Additionally, the traction includes a durable herringbone outer pattern and circuit-like inner design, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The shoe plays quick and responsive, because of the built-in insole for low-to-the-ground court feel.
Furthermore, the light blue colorway, accented with Adam Lister’s pixelation design and DLO inspired detailing makes this shoe a standout both on and off the court. Ideal for quick, shifty guards, it runs narrow and true to size, with wide-footed players advised to go half a size up. Priced at $119 USD, the Ice Blood 2 is available now at wayofwade.com.
