KICKS CREW Teams Up with Way of Wade for DLO 1 Collaboration

Following a day 1 sellout at Fanatics Fest, KICKS CREW is proud to announce the official release of their Way of Wade DLO 1 ‘Royal Blue Skies’—the first signature collaboration between D’Angelo Russell, Way of Wade, and KICKS CREW. The limited-edition release, limited to just 300 pairs globally, was unveiled at the KICKS CREW x Way of Wade Experience, a standout activation at Fanatics Fest that drew massive crowds.

The immersive booth paid tribute to the full legacy of Way of Wade, showcasing the evolution from Dwyane Wade’s signature line to the debut of D’Angelo Russell’s DLO 1 signature shoe. Fans explored archival pairs, got a first look at upcoming innovations, and connected with the deeper story behind the brand’s creative vision. The highlight: the launch of the exclusive KICKS CREW x Way of Wade DLO 1 ‘Royal Blue Skies,’ which sold out on day 1.

"The love I felt at Fanatics Fest was unreal. To see the KICKS CREW x Way of Wade DLO 1 sell out on Day 1 was a moment I’ll never forget," said D’Angelo Russell. "Partnering with KICKS CREW has allowed me to bring this vision of my signature line to life in a way that’s true to who I am. Now I’m excited to take that energy globally and share this release with people around the world."

The KICKS CREW x Way of Wade DLO 1 ‘Royal Blue Skies’ blends performance innovation with personal storytelling, grounded in the signature blue and white brand colors of KICKS CREW. The vivid royal blue upper features a cloud-like texture that evokes a painted sky in motion—airy yet dynamic. White wave accents flow across the body, giving the shoe a sense of movement and clarity, while contrasting black and white details on the midsole add depth and edge. KICKS CREW branding can be found throughout the shoe, cementing this collaboration as the start of this new partnership.

The KICKS CREW x Way of Wade DLO 1 ‘Royal Blue Skies’ will be released at 11 AM EST / 8 AM PT on July 19, 2025, exclusively on KICKSCREW.COM for $110 USD and is limited to 300 pairs worldwide. Fans can join the launch and giveaway on the KICKS CREW x DLO 1 event page.
