Sorry Kobe, Li-Ning looks to be jacking your swag just a little bit.

Over the last few weeks, Chinese brand Li-Ning has been trying to capture the eye of sneakerheads by rolling our crazy colorways of some of their top basketball sneakers. Most recently we've seen a blood-spattered version of the Way of Wade 3, but this time they go back into the vault with a new Way of Wade 2.0. Taking a page from Kobes book, Li-Ning rolls out the Way of Wade 2.0 "Venom", which brings back the bloody look, in a sneaker designed to represent a snake bite. The shoes come in the 3M reflective upper pattern similar to the all-star releases but adds a speckled midsole and yellow outsole to enhance the look.

Li-Ning was originally only available in China, but the brand is looking to capitalize on the sneaker craze and has since started dropping colorways in the American market. No official release date has surfaced, but expect the Way of Wade 2.0 "Venom" to drop in the coming weeks.
