It’s been a whirlwind season for D’Angelo Russell since arriving in Golden State. There’s been trade speculation, injuries and no Stephen Curry in Russell’s first season with the Dubs. Still, the 23-year-old did get a notable upgrade to his shoe game.
In November, Russell signed a partnership with Dwyane Wade’s Li-Ning Way of Wade shoe brand. Since joining Wade, the Ohio State product has been rolling out new Way of Wade “Infinity” shoes throughout the season, with his latest decked out in a familiar colorway.
Russell went to his Instagram story to show off his new Warriors themed Way of Wade Inifinity kicks.

In the video, Russell shows off three different Warrior-centric colorways in white, blue and black. Each shoe had Russell’s nickname, “…Loading” imprinted on the pull tab of the kick’s tongue.
The on-court debut of Russell’s new Warriors themed shoes is undetermined as the All-Star guard is dealing with a lingering shoulder injury after colliding with Luka Donic.
Russell’s missed the past two games for Golden State against San Antonio and Minnesota with a sore shoulder. Prior to losing Russell via injury, Golden State won four-straight games for the first time all season. Without the Louisville native, the Dubs have dropped two in a row.
During their four-game win streak, Russell pulled out another new edition of his Way of Wade shoes on Christmas Day against the Houston Rockets. The future Hall of Famer, Wade, took to Twitter to support Russell’s shoe choice.
