Li-Ning

Li Ning is a former Chinese Olympian gymnast who won six medals at one single Olympics, not an easy feat. Upon retiring, he went into the sporting apparel and footwear business by founding Li-Ning Company Limited and his commitment to high performance can be seen throughout the business. Having been around for over 30 years, functional and fashionable are two words that can describe the sneaker line.

From a functional standpoint, there are Li-Ning shoes for basketball, badminton, running, table tennis, and training, and every line is tailored for utmost performance with the athlete in mind. Their proprietary "Boom" is found in the midsole of the basketball shoes and is light, durable, and cushioning. Across lines, there is other tech, such as PROBAR LOC, that offers ultimate stability; Cloud Plus, for soft and lightweight cushioning; and CARBON-FIBER PLATE that stiffens the shoe and stabilizes the torque, but this is just a sampling of the impressive features that go into each and every shoe.

In the fashion world, they have made a mark with their science fiction meets innovation meets high-fashion designs. They are different from other sneakers because they are a fusion of sport and out-of-this-world imagination. Li-Ning sneakers regularly debut at Paris Fashion Week along with their streetwear. The creativity just bursts through with the unique colorways and combinations.

For example, the 2020 Ace can be described as a sculpture of outdoor elements and extreme sports with its bold colors and mix of cool textures. Check out the entire collection of deadstock (unused and verified authentic) Li-Ning sneakers on StockX today.
