Way of Wade 12 "Stingray" Drops Jan. 31

Closing out January with a statement piece, the Way of Wade 12 LUX “Yellow Stingray” arrives as a bold, ultra-limited release that leans fully into craftsmanship, rarity, and visual impact. Dropping January 31 at 10 a.m. PST exclusively via Wade Official, the pair is capped at just 300 units worldwide, instantly positioning it as one of the most exclusive Way of Wade releases to date.

The “Yellow Stingray” theme is executed through a saturated golden-yellow upper, layered with textured paneling that mirrors the stingray-inspired motif. Subtle embossed detailing runs across the forefoot and mid-panel, while tonal laces and sculpted overlays keep the focus on material depth rather than contrast. The LUX designation is reinforced through premium construction choices and refined finishes throughout, giving the shoe a more elevated presence than standard inline colorways.

Performance DNA remains central to the design. The Way of Wade 12 platform has been gaining visibility across the NBA in recent weeks, with more players opting into the silhouette thanks to its responsive cushioning setup, stable base, and lockdown-focused build. That on-court credibility adds extra weight to a release that could have easily leaned purely lifestyle.

With its limited production run, striking color execution, and growing on-court presence, the Way of Wade 12 LUX “Yellow Stingray” feels like a deliberate punctuation mark on the brand’s January output. It’s not just a colorway—it’s a collector-grade finale.
