Li-Ning is Dropping Steph Curry's Way of Wade and Jimmy Butler Signature PEs

Steph Curry spent all of last season focused on sneakers. While the Warriors struggled to compete without Jimmy Butler or much support for Steph, the Chef cooked up three pairs of heat per game day, changing shoes between tunnel walk, warm-ups, and tip-off, showing no brand allegiance at all. At the end of it all, Steph signed up with Chinese brand Li-Ning, and as we get set to tip off a new season, we’ve finally got some court-ready Curry PEs.

Steph’s Li-Ning Journey Begins

Reviving all of the Li-Ning pairs that Steph wore during his sneaker free agency run with retail-ready imagery, the new collection of Way of Wade 12 and JB4 colorways all feature Steph’s new Curry Brand logo that was recently remade for Li-Ning. After debuting the Steph logo on a pair of golf shoe PEs, these are the first pairs of basketball shoes from the Li-Ning Curry Brand line.

While we wait on Steph to debut his own Li-Ning signature silhouette, the JB4 pair is the Batman colorway that takes after Butler’s superhero analogy for the Warriors roster. On the Way of Wade 12s, a black pair matches the Batman vibe, while three more monochrome pairs bring teal, pale pink, and white into the Curry PE mix.

Li-Ning Curry Brand PE Collection Release Details

The Li-Ning Curry Brand PE lineup will have a limited release alongside Steph’s upcoming China trip in September. To keep up with all the latest Li-Ning Curry Brand news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
