FAQs
Can I use these trainers for outdoor basketball?
While designed for performance, the outsole is optimized for indoor surfaces; using them on abrasive outdoor concrete may wear down the traction pattern faster.
Are the midsoles included with the shoes?
The shoes come with an integrated midsole system, though specialized replacements may be available separately depending on your region.
How should I clean the white and pink upper?
Use a gentle soap solution and a soft-bristled brush. Dab the material lightly rather than scrubbing vigorously to preserve the fabric texture.
What is the benefit of the carbon-fiber plate?
The plate acts as a stabilizer for the midfoot, preventing excessive torsion and helping to provide an efficient energy transfer during athletic maneuvers.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Wade 808 III generally fits true to size for a performance basketball trainer, though athletes preferring a roomier fit might consider sizing up by a half size.
Troubleshooting
Midsole feels loose or shifts during play
Remove the midsole and ensure it is correctly aligned within the shoe cavity, pressing down firmly to engage all anchor points.
Traction performance has decreased
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris that may be clogging the wavy tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Midsole Insertion: When changing the midsole, ensure the unit is seated firmly in the heel and forefoot pockets to avoid shifting during play.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove dust from the outsole after each session to maintain the integrity of the wavy traction pattern. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the upper materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber compounds over time.
- Compatibility: Ensure you are using genuine Li-Ning Wade 808 III compatible midsole inserts for the best fit and performance results.
