- Editor note
- Li-Ning's 2025 mid-flagship competition shoe. Snug last-tracking fit with low-stretch microfiber upper and TPU heel cup. BOUNSE+ forefoot for ground feedback paired with Li-Ning's bounce foam heel for impact absorption — and a carbon-fiber + TPU torsion plate that meaningfully reduces knee/ankle fatigue over long sessions. Slightly slower initiation than ultra-light speed shoes due to thicker forefoot stack. Outsole is best on clean wood courts; sand the sole on concrete to remove factory release oxide before competitive use.
